About the role

This exciting opportunity is within the Personalised Experiences and Communications (PEC) platform for a IOS Software Engineer. As the IOS Software Engineer you’ll lead, direct and shape approaches to solving technical challenges and translating business requirements into technical solutions. You will work in a highly collaborative way to drive efforts to create, build, support and improve our software working closely with the product and engineering teams with lots of exciting new challenges. You’ll be a core contributor to ensure good quality and engineering practices are followed in accordance with engineering transformation strategy.

What we’re looking for:

An ideal IOS Software Engineer will have broad and deep technical experience with a passion for engineering excellence. We are looking for a dynamic and adaptable individual, able to use and learn new skills in varying circumstances. You’ll be curious about technology and understanding how things work and influence positively – demonstrating the right values and behaviours and encouraging this in team members.

We would be looking for the following

• Practical Swift 5 experience with focus on native unit and UI testing
• Strong knowledge of Apple UI design principles, interface guidelines, patterns, and best practices
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs to connect iOS applications to back-end services
• Proficient understanding of code versioning tool Git
• Understanding of basic App architectures (i.e. MVVM)
• Ability to understand business requirements and translate them into technical requirements
• Hands-on experience of continuous delivery
• Experience writing unit tests and testable clean code

It would be great if you also had

• Creating and managing frameworks in a modular codebase
• Knowledge of unit testing using Quick/ Nimble
• Excellent communication skills
• Familiar with Agile principles and methodologies and usage of related tools – JIRA and Confluence
• You have a solid understanding of designing adaptive UIs using storyboard and auto layout

We understand in such a diverse and disparate world no one person can be a specialist in all aspects of all IOS Engineering. If you have the right technical background, a willingness to be part of a team dedicated to redefining the landscape and are willing to develop yourself then we’re keen to hear from you.

What would you get in return?

We’ll give you stretch as well as an energising and informal environment. You’ll realise genuine career progression opportunities gained within a nurturing culture that celebrates both diversity and equal opportunity.

Together we make it possible!
