Since 2016, over 2 million people in 10 European markets have set aside more than £2 billion with our clever automation and AI – that’s the magic of Plum! As recognition for our work, we’ve received awards from the likes of Deloitte, Finder, and more. That’s all down to our passionate team of 200+ Plumsters, who work around Europe to help us achieve our mission.

The Role

We’re looking for a user‑focused Senior iOS Engineer to join our engineering team. Plum has been featured multiple times by Apple, has been named App of the Day and currently rated 4.7 stars with over 59,000 ratings. You'll be building Plum on iOS from its early days, giving our current and prospective customers a more intimate way to interact with their money.

Our Engineering Approach

We value good engineering principles, imagination, quirkiness and healthy curiosity. We take a conservative approach to using external frameworks and we aspire to write simple, well‑tested code, delivered in rapid iterations.

How We Work

We work in "squads" – Our squads are mission driven and include Product Managers, Designers, Backend and Mobile engineers, aiming to develop and maintain products, services and tools towards an unforgettable user experience, as well as aiding any related operations from Plum’s side. Squads are organised into Pillars which align with our different strategic business areas. We trust massively on data driven, well informed squads that own their work. As a Senior iOS Engineer, you will also be a part of a Mobile engineering team, a team consisting of Mobile Product Engineers who share the same vision and passion of building an exceptional mobile team that will help people be financially better off.

• You’ve mentored junior engineers helping them enhance their skills and grow professionally.
• You're a product person too — you understand the value and impact of your work.
• You go the extra mile to add the awesome sprinkles.

Fist-bumps if you have:

• Experience in continuous integration setup and automation.
