Job Title

iOS Developer – Digital Servicing

Job Description

Building fast and reliable real-time trading apps is a challenge. Every month, the IG Trading iOS app supports hundreds of thousands of users across more than 20 countries – and as market leaders in the UK, we have a responsibility to be responsive, engaging and easy to use. We would like an iOS Developer to be the latest member of one of our product-focused teams.

So, who are we?

Hello, we’re IG Group. No, not Instagram – though we're a pretty big deal ourselves. We’re a global, FTSE 250-listed company made up of a collection of progressive fintech brands in the world of online trading and investing. The best part? We’ve snapped up many awards for our top-class platforms, forward-thinking products, and incredible employee experiences.

We believe in financial freedom. And our purpose is to help ambitious people achieve it. Around 400,000 people use our ground-breaking technology and forward-thinking platforms to trade the financial products they know and love.

Did we mention we have offices in 18 countries? Yes, when you join IG Group, you'll have the chance to work across multiple brands, with people all over the world. Join us for an exciting future and let’s innovate together!

About the team:

Digital Servicing is a cross-functional product team with mobile, frontend and backend engineers who work together to build full-stack solutions around customer support and education. We’ve adopted principles of server-driven UI and often work with both clients and third-party vendors.

As experts, it is our responsibility to own and understand the client experience and all members of the team can propose changes, new projects and features. We’re an empowered team and are proud of our culture, ways of working and technical capability.

Your p osition within the Team:

You will work alongside QA, design, product management and other developers to build solutions with the goal of adding functionality and improving user experiences for our iOS app. As an iOS developer in the team, you’ll also work in partnership with iOS developers from other areas of the business to make sure features are appropriate and scalable. You will be part of an architectural community of practice contributing to long-term decisions about continuous integration, app architecture and many other topics.

Note that from within this team, you have opportunities to learn and build on other platforms, including Android, Java Spring Boot and AWS.

What you’ll do:

· Regularly contributing clean, efficient, and maintainable code to the team codebase

· Proactively writing unit, integration and UI tests

· Supporting product discovery in the team by reviewing analytics, content or user feedback

· Regular participation in code reviews

Who we’re looking for:

You’re curious about things like the client experience, the rapid developments in tech, and the complex world of fintech regulation. You’re also a confident, creative thinker with a knack for innovating. We know that you know every problem has a solution. Here, you can try new ideas, and lead the way in creating inspiring experiences for our clients and everyone around you.

We don’t fit the corporate stereotype. If you want to work for a traditional, suit-and-tie corporate that just gives you a pay cheque at the end of the month, we might not be for you. But, if you have that IG Group energy and you can stand behind what we believe in, let’s raise the bar together.

What you’ll need for this role:

· At least 4 years of hands-on iOS experience in a commercial/enterprise environment

· Excellent knowledge of the iOS platform and the Swift programming language

· Experience with both SwiftUI and UIKit APIs

· Experience with Combine or async/await

· Experience working with KMP (Kotlin Multiplatform) will be an additional advantage.

· Experience working with architecture patterns such as MVVM or MVP

· Experience and ability to collaborate across product, engineering and design teams

· Experience working in Agile teams and a good understanding of Agile & CI/CD concepts

How you’ll grow:

When you join IG Group, we want you to have more than a job – we want you to have a career. And you can. If you spot an opportunity, we want you to chase it. Stretch yourself, challenge your self-beliefs and go for the things you dream of. With internal and external learning opportunities, and the tools to help you skyrocket to success, we’ll support you all the way.

And these opportunities truly are endless because we have some bold targets. We plan to expand our global presence, increase revenue growth, and ultimately deliver the world’s best trading experience. We’d love to have you along for the ride.

The Perks:

It really is more than a job. We’ll recognize your talent and make sure that you can still have a life – at work, and outside of it. Networks, committees, awards, sports and social clubs, mentorships, volunteering opportunities, extra time off… the list goes on.

· Flexible working hours and work-from-home opportunities

· Performance-related bonuses

· Insurance and medical plans

· Career-focused technical and leadership trainings in-class and online, incl. unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning platform

· Contribution to gym memberships and more

· A day off on your birthday

· Two days’ volunteering leave per year.

Where you’ll work:

We follow a hybrid working model; we reckon it’s the best of both worlds. This model also feeds into our secret ingredients for innovation: diversity, flexibility, and close connection. Plus, you’ll be welcomed into a diverse and inclusive workforce with a lot of creative energy.

Ask our employees what their favourite thing is about working at IG, and you’ll hear an echo of ‘our culture’! That’s because you can come to work as your authentic self. The things that make you, you – like your ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith, age, gender identity/expression or physical capacity – can bring a fresh perspective or new skill to our business.

That’s why we welcome people from various walks of life; and anyone who wants to help us realise our vision and strategy.

So, if you’re keen to connect with our values, and lead the charge on innovation, you know what to do.
