• Writing Clean Code: Write clean, maintainable and well-documented production code following best practices
• Up-keeping Best Engineering Practices: Follow agile development practices, applying extreme programming practices like combining multiple automated testing techniques, continuous integration and delivery
• Performance Optimisation: Monitor and enhance application efficiency, debugging and resolving issues as they arise
• Team Mentorship: Contribute to the team growth through hiring and mentoring new team members

Desirable Experience In:

• Native mobile app development in iOS
• Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit for iOS development
• Building hybrid applications with technologies such as React Native, Flutter, PWA
• Architectural patterns (MVC, MVVM, SOLID) and best practices
• Managing the application lifecycle from integration to release, using tools and techniques such as: Git, CI/CD, Github Actions, SPM, TestFlight, Crashlytics

Ways of Working

We know HOW you work is as important as what you work on so we're looking for demonstrable skills and experience with the following competencies and ways of working:

• Product Mindset and Customer Focus: You're passionate about creating meaningful experiences that address real user needs. You have a strong desire to understand customer behaviour and deliver solutions that inspire confidence and delight, keeping a critical eye on available data to evaluate outcomes of each development iteration
• Adaptable and Resourceful Problem Solver: You learn quickly and adjust to new context, tools, and technologies. You're comfortable experimenting and pivoting when needed to find the best solution. You approach challenges with no pre-established solution with curiosity and independence, seeking out viable options and taking ownership of the whole process
• Collaborative Team Player: You thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy working closely with cross-functional teams to achieve shared goals
• Effective Communicator: You excel at conveying information clearly, telling compelling stories, and influencing diverse audiences. Whether collaborating with technical teams or engaging non-technical stakeholders, you ensure alignment, understanding, and impact across different contexts and backgrounds

PLEASE NOTE: If you don't meet 100% of the criteria but are passionate about our mission and vision and think you can do the job, especially if the person we described in ways of working resonated with your personal values, principles and work ethos, we strongly encourage you to apply!

Location + Work Style

We'll all be where we need to be based on what's happening. We'll have in-person team sessions (usually once a week) as needed for key activities like planning, strategy, and brainstorming sessions (and some fun!), and remote work the rest of the time to allow for flexibility, work-life balance, and quiet time for deep work.

Hey Savi is based in London and are looking for people in the UK and Europe to join our team. We regret that we can't hire candidates from other locations or provide Visa sponsorship yet, but check back with us as we grow as we'll be global soon!
