About the role and team:
We develop for both iOS and Android and regularly design for both phone and tablet use cases. Our iOS devs work with modern technology, using the tools and techniques - we were early adopters of SwiftUI, Combine and Swift Concurrency and many other approaches. We conduct unit testing across all our projects, code is always peer reviewed, and as a team we are always at the forefront of pushing new approaches to challenges.
What you'll be doing:
- Developing mobile apps with a focus on readable, maintainable and tested code using Swift.
- Collaborating with designers, product owners, testers and clients to deliver great products as an agile team.
- Being an advocate for engineering best practices across mobile platforms.
- Using the latest AI tools like Claude Code to accelerate your own and your teams delivery of high-quality iOS apps.
We'd love to talk to you if you are:
- Enthusiastic and experienced in using engineering best practices, clean code and unit testing.
- Experienced in working as part of a cross-functional development team.
- Passionate and enthusiastic for delivering great product.
- Already working effectively with AI tools and want to push it further.
What we’ll offer you:
We trust people to do their best work. That means flexibility over rigid rules, impact over activity, and real investment in your growth both professionally and personally. You’ll be part of a supportive, and friendly culture, surrounded by smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do.
We offer flexible working, including hybrid and remote options. Our office hubs are located in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, London and Bulgaria, with occasional travel to client sites or CreateFuture offices when needed. We trust you to manage your time balancing collaboration with client time and focused work. What matters is the impact you have, not how busy you look.
Our hiring process:
We try to keep our hiring process clear, fair and respectful of your time. We aim to get back to everyone who applies and we will be upfront about where you are in the process. It usually looks like this:
- Call with our Talent Acquisition Team
- Role specific capability interview
- Depending on the role, we might also ask you to do a short presentation, a practical or technical task or have a values focused conversation. We will explain what is involved before anything happens.
Inclusion at CreateFuture:
We believe diverse teams build better workplaces and better products. We want CreateFuture to be a place where people feel able to be themselves and do their best work. If you need any adjustments or support during the application process, just let us know. We will do what we can to help.
Candidates for this role must be eligible to live and work in the UK.
