Job description

Overview

We are looking for an iOS Engineer who possesses a passion for pushing mobile technologies to the limits and will work with our team of talented developers to build the next generation of our mobile applications. As an iOS developer, you'll be at the core of iOS delivery at Chip. You specialise in iOS but will use your broader technical experience to help steer the team.

What you can expect to be doing

• Design, build and ship features for our iOS application.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver a high quality product.
• Identify areas for team growth, process and product improvement.
• Work with our iOS team to help shape the product roadmap.

What we’re looking for

• 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’ve used the latest frameworks to build new products.
• You are committed to writing high quality, testable code.
• You love collaborating as an Agile team.
• Solid understanding of the full mobile development lifecycle.

It’d be fantastic if

You have experience working with;

• Swift
• SwiftUI and UIKit (UIKit now just legacy for some navigation)
• Swift Package Manager
• XCTest and Swift Testing
• Building modular applications.
• MVVM & Coordinator Pattern.
• Continuous integration and delivery of mobile apps using Bitrise.

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 engineering 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.
