(Senior) iOS Mobile Engineer

Our client is an early-stage fintech company building a new mobile-first investment platform for global markets.

The company is developing a product that makes investing across international markets feel as simple as investing domestically - bringing together brokerage, FX, funding, portfolio management and market information into a single, intuitive experience.

The business is backed by an experienced founding team and is now expanding its engineering team as the product moves from early development towards production.

• Build and refine core investment, account, funding and portfolio experiences

• Design mobile experiences that clearly communicate transaction and account states to users

• Build secure authentication, session management and local data handling

• Work closely with backend engineers on APIs, data models and edge cases

• Ensure financial information is displayed accurately, including currencies, prices, percentages, timestamps and data freshness

• Handle real-world mobile considerations such as unreliable networks, background execution, push notifications and application lifecycle

• Take responsibility for application performance, stability and crash rates

• Manage App Store releases, including review requirements, privacy considerations, entitlements and release quality

• Identify and address mobile security risks and vulnerabilities

• Experience with areas such as secure storage, biometrics, authentication, push notifications, background execution, code signing and App Store distribution

• Experience working on applications where security, reliability and data accuracy are important

• Strong debugging and performance-profiling skills

• Experience taking ownership of an application rather than simply implementing individual features

• Comfortable working in an environment where requirements aren't always fully defined

• Good English communication skills and the ability to work directly with senior technical stakeholders
