About the team
We are on a mission to level‑up the mobile app.
You will join our Mobile Platform team which looks after the tech underpinning the app itself: from the app’s architecture, shared capabilities and libraries and experiences, as well as the build and analytics infrastructure.
The team plays an important role as thought leaders in the broader mobile community at Zopa, and is responsible for moving our tech forward in that space.
The company has the vision to become Britain’s best bank and has just launched the Zopa account, a high‑touch, mass‑market product.
The app is our most important touch point with the customer and it needs to be performant and delightful.
It is a pillar for the technical strategy at Zopa and this team will play a prominent role at the heart of that strategy.
The app is today built using React Native but increasingly we are leveraging native capabilities (Swift and Kotlin) to significantly overhaul the app experience.
