Software Engineer jobs in United Kingdom

Salary band: £60,640 - £75,000

We’re looking for a Senior iOS Engineer who’s excited by the idea of building apps used by millions of passionate sports fans around the world.

If you love crafting seamless iOS experiences, working with cutting-edge Apple technologies, and collaborating across disciplines to ship high-quality products, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

As a Senior iOS Engineer at Pulselive, you’ll take the lead on building and maintaining native iOS applications for some of the biggest names in sport.

You’ll have autonomy to shape architecture decisions and deliver features end-to-end. One day you might be designing bespoke UIs with SwiftUI for a major tournament; the next, mentoring junior engineers or integrating complex third-party data APIs. You’ll contribute to planning, write clean, scalable code, and ensure our apps are fast, reliable, and a joy to use.

You’ll also help drive technical standards and best practices, working closely with engineers across Android, backend, and frontend teams. At Pulselive, we value continuous learning, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore new tools and approaches while championing improvements across the iOS stack.

At Pulselive, we create high-performing digital experiences for some of the biggest sports teams, leagues, and tournaments in the world.

In this role, you’ll be expected to take ownership of your work, communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and support others as a mentor. You’ll also play a key part in shaping architectural decisions, long-term planning, and engineering-wide initiatives.

We don’t expect you to know every tool listed, but here’s a snapshot of what we use day to day:

Languages & Frameworks: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP)
Architecture & Tools: Composable Architecture (TCA) / MVVM, Core Data, RESTful APIs, Swift Package Manager (SPM), Async/Await
Testing & CI/CD: XCTest, Snapshot tests, Fastlane, Bitrise

We know great engineers come from all backgrounds. Here’s what would make someone a strong fit for this role:

• Solid experience building and shipping iOS apps using Swift UI

• Comfortable designing scalable architectures and implementing RESTful APIs

• Strong knowledge of iOS development lifecycle and Agile practices

• Familiar with CI/CD pipelines (we use Bitrise), automated testing, and deployment tools

• Understanding of design patterns, SOLID principles, and performance optimization

• Ability to mentor and support other engineers, sharing knowledge and best practices

• Excellent communicator who can collaborate effectively with designers, PMs, and clients

• A passion for writing clean, maintainable, and reusable code

• Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP)

• Familiarity with accessibility and performance best practices

• Experience leading small projects or managing other engineers (optional)
