At VML, we are a beacon of innovation and growth in an ever-evolving world. Our heritage is built upon a century of combined expertise, where creativity meets technology, and diverse perspectives ignite inspiration. With the merger of VMLY&R and Wunderman Thompson, we have forged a new path as a growth partner that is part creative agency, part consultancy, and part technology powerhouse. 

Our global family now encompasses over 30,000 employees across 150+ offices in 64 markets, each contributing to a culture that values connection, belonging, and the power of differences.  Our expertise spans the entire customer journey, offering deep insights in communications, commerce, consultancy, CRM, CX, data, production, and technology.

We require an outgoing Senior iOS developer 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.

We are looking for someone with at least 5 years’ experience using iOS. A strong understanding of API’s and interfacing with them from iOS is essential. However, most important for this role is initiative, a passion for learning, great communication and the drive to succeed. We are looking for team players that want to improve their own skills but also help newer developers reach their potential. We have a robust peer review and code management process along with full-integrated CI process. Experience with tools like Jenkins and Gitlab would be an advantage.

We own all our projects from start to finish and work with our customers on a long-term basis managing their applications. This provides developers with the ability to take real ownership of projects and also work to continuously improve them. You will work directly with our in-house design teams, back-end developers and project managers to create applications that are used by millions of people every month. With well over 15 million downloads of our applications your work will be seen by many millions of people.

What we want from you:

  • Strong background in iOS Development and Swift
  • At least basic knowledge of Objective-C
  • Strong knowledge of SwiftUI and UIKit
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features
  • Contributing to defining and maintaining coding standards
  • Experience using code versioning tools like Git and GitLab
  • Experience with a range of third-party libraries and APIs
  • Familiarity with push notifications, APIs and cloud messaging
  • Confident in making recommendations around technology advancements in frameworks and tooling
  • Mentoring and providing guidance to junior developers

What we can offer you:

Alongside the opportunity to work with some of the most exciting brands around the world, we’ll also prioritise your career development and help you grow your skills. We’ll empower you to make a difference, allow you to be yourself, and respect who you are.

We offer a great benefits package including hybrid working that works for everyone, social events, training opportunities, medical and dental insurance, life assurance, meal cards and much more.
