• Building stuff. This means coding, code reviews, fixing bugs, pair programming, incident response, and reverse-engineering tasks, etc. Additionally we’re empowered to go beyond just mobile with the ability to hone and make changes in the rest of the product.
• Planning/architecture. This means estimating, collaborating with Product, proposing technical roadmaps. We have a commitment to taking best in class approaches to mobile engineering. With apps built entirely on TCA (The Composable Architecture) and SwiftUI.
• Learning and Teaching. We believe in high autonomy for mobile engineers, we want to build things the right way and bring creative ideas to the table by sharing and teaching.

And a little bit of… 

• Learning and challenging yourself! 
• Contributing as part of the wider team to achieve organisational objectives even if this means doing things that aren’t strictly within the scope of your role.

We're looking for a candidate who has experience with the following:

• Strong mobile developer with experience primarily on iOS but with supplementary experience working with other platforms.
• Experience building and distributing apps with large numbers of users.
• Significant experience in coding complex apps in primarily Swift and Objective-C.
• A deep understanding of iOS UI, ideally with extensive experience building with SwiftUI or UIKit.
• Experience or interest in working with TCA (The Composable Architecture).
