Senior iOS Engineer

We are looking for a Senior iOS Engineer who possesses a passion for pushing mobile technologies to the limits and will work with our team of talented engineers to design and build the next generation of our mobile applications.

As a Senior Developer, you'll be at the core of iOS delivery at Chip. You specialise in iOS but use your much broader technical experience to help steer the team.

You'll be working with one of the fastest-growing fintechs, helping us define how we use mobile to drive our business and help make saving effortless for millions. You'll share your passion and experience with those around you, allowing and encouraging your less experienced teammates to step up to the challenges. At a senior level, your responsibility reaches beyond writing code. Your iOS teammates will naturally look to you for on-the-job coaching and broader career advice.

What you can expect to be doing:

• Design, build and ship features for our iOS application from inception to release.
• Collaborate with cross-functional team to deliver a high-quality product.
• Working across the engineering team to help shape the products roadmap.
• Build reusable tools to enhance our development practices.
• Owning large architectural changes to the codebase.
• Being seen as a point of contact to other areas of the business and can communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders.

**We'd love to hear from you if:

• You're a passionate and self-motivated developer.
• You've built an iOS application that's on the App Store.
• Strong working knowledge Swift.
• You are committed to writing high-quality, testable code.
• You love collaborating as an Agile team.
• Solid understanding of the mobile development lifecycle.
• Have experience in mentoring other developers and delegating appropriate tasks

It'd be fantastic if:

• You have a good understanding of building modular applications using Cocoa Touch Frameworks.
• Good understanding of MVVM and other iOS architectures.
• Good understanding of continuous integration and delivery of mobile apps.

What we’re really looking for: ✍️

Someone with a genuine interest in Chip and is excited about being part of a fast-growing company and our mission to build the investment super app of the future.

Although we’re in the financial space, and under the scrutiny that comes with it, the current mobile team works well together, and even sometimes with a smile. We’re sure you’ve got the technical skills, otherwise, you would have stopped reading by now, so let us be clear on what will make us want to work with you.

We want a real person, with interests outside of work, to join our team. You could be a dancer, a gamer, a musician, a parent, a hockey fan, or even that one person that still writes Twilight fan-fiction. Doesn’t matter to us.

At the interview stages, we will be looking for empathy, eq, fun stories, and the ability to smile even when things are tough.
