iOS Engineer

At Plum, we're on a mission to maximise wealth for all. We’re making saving money effortless and turning investing into something everyone can do

Our journey began back in 2017, when we became one of the first to use artificial intelligence and automation to simplify personal finance. Fast forward to today, and we've already helped people save £2 billion across 10 European markets.

Named the UK's fastest-growing fintech in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, our success is down to the passion and dedication of our diverse team. Based in our London, Athens and Nicosia offices, 180 talented people work together to empower people to do more with their money. And now, the team is growing!

The Team and the Role

We’re looking for a a customer-focussed iOS engineer to join our engineering team in Athens. Plum has been featured multiple times by Apple, has been named App of the Day and currently rated 4.7 stars with 21,000 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" – a more startup-appropriate name for saying small, cross-functional teams. Each squad has a mission and a set of KPIs to monitor and improve. As an engineer you'll be working in a squad but you can also reach out to and work with anyone in the company. 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.

What you will do

• You want to build a product that makes people better off
• You’re excited about programming in Swift and up-to-date with the latest iOS technologies
• Yet, you still have intimate knowledge of the full iOS stack
• You have experience shipping and iterating on an app in the App Store
• You’re a designer's best friend. You love being part of the design process and enjoy turning the design into a well-crafted, delightful experience
• 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

What we look for

Technical knowledge is critical but we are a startup treading in uncharted territory so attitude is even more important. We're looking for people that like uncertainty and want to figure out how to do things that haven’t been done before. You're a true team player and inherently positive. Where others see problems, you see solutions.

Fist-bumps if you have 👊

• Experience in continuous integration setup and automation
• Taken part in open-source projects
• Experience with backend technologies
