Sr. iOS Engineer

This is a rare opportunity to join a high‑growth, consumer marketplace business at a pivotal moment and build a native iOS app from the ground up. Mobile is becoming central to the company's next phase of growth, and this role will play a defining part in shaping the product experience, engineering standards, and long‑term mobile strategy.

The organisation has strong product‑market fit, meaningful scale, and clear momentum, but remains lean enough that one exceptional iOS engineer can have outsized impact across architecture, user experience, and technical direction. This is a founding‑level mobile role with real ownership, influence, and visibility.

Design and define the iOS app architecture, engineering standards, and quality bar from the ground up

Drive high standards for craftsmanship, performance, and engineering judgement across mobile

Influence product direction and help define the long‑term mobile strategy

Lay the technical foundation for building and scaling an iOS team over time

Must‑Have Qualifications

Strong computer science fundamentals; CS degree from a reputable institution preferred

Experience working in high‑bar engineering organisations with strong product and quality standards

Hands‑on experience with Swift and native iOS development (depth can vary)

Strong product mindset and ability to reason about user experience, performance, and trade‑offs
