iOS Engineer - Swift

Our Story

Hello there. We’re Zopa.

We started our journey back in 2005, building the first ever peer-to-peer lending company. Fast forward to 2020 and we launched Zopa Bank. A bank that listens to what our customers don’t like about finance and does the opposite. We’re redefining what it feels like to work in finance. Our vision for a new era of banking puts people front and centre — we’ve built a business that empowers everyone to aim high, every day, to move finance forward. Find out more about our fantastic offerings at Zopa.com!

We’re incredibly proud of our achievements and none of it would be possible without the amazing team here. It’s not just industry awards we’re winning, we’ve also been named in the top three UK’s Most Loved Workplaces.

If you embrace unconventional challenges, are unafraid to think differently and are driven to make an outsized impact, you’ll thrive here at Zopa, so join us, and make it count. Want to see us in action? Follow us on Instagram @zopalife

About the team

We are on a mission to level-up the mobile app and we’re looking for someone to join the team with native iOS development with Swift.

You will join our Mobile Platform team which looks after 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 generally is responsible for moving our tech forward in that space.​

The company has the vision to become Britain’s best bank and have just launched the Zopa account which is 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. We therefore want to invest in the tech of the app.​

The app is today built using React Native but we have found ourselves increasingly leveraging native capabilities (Swift and Kotlin). We are looking to further build out our skills in native development and use those to significantly overhaul the app experience.​

The role

• Joining our Mobile Platform team, you will report to the Engineering Manager, and work alongside talented iOS engineers building the foundations of Zopa’s mobile experience.
• Collaborate with the wider mobile community, including React Native engineers, to share best practice and make thoughtful decisions about native development.
• Help make the Zopa app faster, more reliable and genuinely enjoyable to use—identifying bottlenecks, resolving bugs and improving performance where it matters most to customers.
• Build and evolve customer-facing features that make the most of iOS’s native capabilities.
• Partner closely with Product, Design and Backend teams to shape solutions from early idea through to a high-quality release.

About you

• You’re an iOS engineer with experience building and shipping polished production apps using Swift.
• You have a solid understanding of iOS frameworks and native mobile development principles.
• You’ve worked on modern, high-engagement apps and care about creating fast, intuitive experiences for customers.
• Quality is central to how you work. You write maintainable code, value strong engineering practices, and take pride in improving reliability, testing and overall app quality.
• You’re curious, collaborative and motivated by building products that make a meaningful difference for customers.

Added bonus (but not essential)

• Experience applying mobile security best practices.
• You have collaborated with Android engineers using Kotlin and/or React Native engineers.
