What you'll do

As an iOS Principal Engineer, you’ll be leading the iOS development team, managing technical resources within and across the function. As such, you’ll be making sure that suitable technologies and systems are employed to ensure that the solutions developed are efficient and flexible enough to deliver the required functionality.

You’ll be able to coach others and lead by example, ensuring that your team works in the most efficient and collaborative way. and You’ll also be comfortable liaising with other discipline leads and stakeholders to help them understand the possibilities for any requirement.

The skills you'll need

To succeed in this role, you’ll need experience as a senior iOS developer and you’ll understand, and be able to implement, computer science principles and best-practices. Along with strong leadership skills and experience operating in a matrix managed environment, you’ll have the ability to work with ambiguity and identify and define the exact solution when needed.

You’ll have worked on at least one app on the App Store and you’ll understand how apps are built and distributed via AppStore Connect. Ideally, you’ll have specifically worked on a banking app before, and understand how to implement best-practices in security to keep customer data safe.
