About the roleYou'll be building and testing major new features, as well as improving and maintaining existing functionality. Our programming language of choice is Swift, and we now build all new features exclusively using SwiftUI, but you'll occasionally work with legacy code in Objective-C.You won't be coding in isolation - our culture is strongly collaborative, whether pair programming with other developers or working closely with designers, editorial and commercial colleagues. Sometimes deciding what code to write is as hard as writing the code itself. You'll contribute to technical discussions and help evolve our architecture and engineering practicesYou'llcollaborate closely with product managers, designers and fellow engineers to deliver high-quality user experiences You'll strive to be innovative on a daily basis, as well as at our regular hack days. For example, a recent hack day saw the iOS team develop a new home screen widget using SwiftUI, which has now been shipped to the App Store.

An understanding of software design principles and a willingness to contribute to architectural discussions, learning from and collaborating with more experienced engineers on complex technical challenges. An appreciation for cross-functional collaboration, enjoying working with Android and backend engineers to deliver a consistent experience across platforms.
