Job Description

We’re looking for a Senior iOS Engineer to help build mobile products that enable more people to discover Wise organically.

This is a hands-on product engineering role in our SEO Product team. We own mobile products that support organic growth, starting with the Wise Currency Converter app developing it into a best in-class travel money companion.

You’ll work closely with product, design, analytics, marketing and engineering from the earliest stages of an idea. We want someone who is comfortable shaping what we build, making technical decisions, and taking ownership from concept through to launch and iteration.

The SEO Product team is working towards an ambitious goal: making customer acquisition eventually free. We’re building products that help millions of potential customers discover Wise organically and make better decisions about their money.

What will you be working on?

  • Leading the rebuild and modernisation of the Wise Currency Converter app

  • Architecting and building new mobile products from the ground up

  • Working closely with Android engineers to build products across both platforms, maintaining a high bar for quality and keeping core features and customer experience aligned

  • Working closely with product managers, designers, analysts, and other engineers to shape ideas, define requirements, and turn them into simple, high-quality customer experiences

  • Owning iOS development end-to-end, from technical design through implementation, release, and iteration

  • Own the observability and reliability of the app, including incident management and working hours support

  • Making architecture decisions and helping define APIs where needed to support product development

  • Providing technical guidance through thoughtful code review and collaboration

  • Contributing to a strong engineering culture through knowledge sharing and high standards for quality, delivery, and maintainability

  • Mentoring engineers in the team and contributing to our engineering hiring process

What do you need?

  • Strong experience building and shipping iOS applications in Swift and Swift UI

  • Experience owning technical decisions and designing architecture for mobile products

  • Ability to take ambiguous product ideas and turn them into clear technical plans and incremental milestones

  • Strong product judgment, with the ability to use customer insight and data to inform decisions and challenge assumptions

  • Experience working closely with cross-functional partners such as product, design, analytics, and backend engineering

  • Commitment to writing testable, maintainable code and holding a high bar for engineering quality

  • Experience with software architecture patterns commonly used in iOS development

  • Understanding of REST API design, including the ability to help shape API contracts where needed

  • Confidence working autonomously and taking ownership of delivery end-to-end

  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences

  • Ability to produce clear technical documentation and diagrams

 

It would be a bonus if you also have:

  • Experience with CI/CD tooling such as GitHub Actions

  • Experience with observability tooling and practices

  • Experience working with experimentation and using product signals to guide iteration

  • Experience building accessible, high-quality mobile experiences

  • Interest in AI-assisted coding tools such as Cursor or Claude Code

  • Experience collaborating closely with Android engineers on parallel mobile product development

We don’t expect you to tick every box. If this role excites you, we’d still love to hear from you.

Additional Information

What the first six months in this role will look like:

  • You’ve onboarded successfully and built a strong understanding of your team, squad, guild, and how you can contribute

  • You’ve developed a good understanding of Wise, the fintech space, and how our product and engineering culture works

  • You’ve made strong progress on the rebuild and modernisation of the Currency Converter app, with a clear path towards launch

  • You’ve started owning technical decisions and delivery for iOS work in the team

  • You’ve gone through two quarterly planning cycles and contributed ideas that help shape the future of the product area

  • You’ve contributed to hiring interviews

Why this role is exciting:

This is a rare opportunity to own an area from the ground up.

You won’t just be implementing tickets in an established mobile surface. You’ll help rebuild an existing product, shape new app ideas, influence what gets built, and take real ownership of iOS development in a team that sees mobile products as a meaningful lever for organic growth.
