Hybrid Working

About Engineering at Engine by Starling - https://www.enginebystarling.com/

We’re looking for iOS Engineers to work on the Engine Platform and make our existing features work for banks all over the world as well as building new features from scratch that Starling hasn’t released in the UK market.

Engine by Starling engineers are excited about helping us deliver new features, regardless of what their primary tech stack may be.

Hear more from the team in some case studies below, and our work with Women In Tech.

• Day in the Life of a Mobile Engineer - Working as a Mobile QA - Leading the Android Team - Engine by Starling Careers Page

We are looking for engineers at all levels to join the team.

We value people being engaged and caring about customers, caring about the code they write and the contribution they can make to banking around the world.

People with a broad ability to apply themselves to a multitude of problems and challenges, who can work across teams do great things here at Engine, to continue changing banking for good.

As an Engineer you will:

• Contribute to our award-winning platform and internal tooling

• Build new features and products from scratch in a configurable way

• Share your knowledge with those around you, contributing to our learning culture

• Own your projects, working in small teams across the bank to collaboratively deliver

• Aim for greatness in everything you do, staying curious and inquisitive

• Be part of a scaling team and organisation as we change banking for good

Requirements

Our iOS application is entirely written in Swift.

It is highly modular and we use MVVM-C architecture to maximise code reusability and testing.

We also value simplicity over complexity, fewer moving parts means fewer faults and easier comprehension.

Some of the well-known frameworks and tools we use:

• RxSwift - as our reactive programming framework;

• SnapKit - as our auto layout DSL, though we have an in-house framework built on top of SnapKit which allows us to write declarative, SwiftUI-like layout code for UIKit.

• Realm - as the application main persistence layer;

• Sourcery and SwiftGen - for various code generation tasks.

• SwiftFormat, SwiftLint, and Danger - to enforce high code quality standards.

• Etc.

We also built in-house tools and frameworks as developer productivity and automation is paramount to us.

We are looking for iOS engineers to work on these apps who:

• Want to work on a feature-rich mobile app with millions of customers;

• Can produce robust, well-tested code that will give our customers the reliability that they need;

• Care about the product, the user experience, and the design;

• Think (like us) that a small number of empowered developers is the right way to deliver software;

• Our application is built with UIKit, knowing its concepts and components is a must.

• We use RxSwift in our project, experience with reactive programming will be a plus but is not required.
