Job description

This role is offered on an Italian employment contract. Candidates must be based in Italy as we are unable to support remote working from outside the country due to local employment and tax legislation.

AXIS is Deltatre's user experience management platform — used by BritBox, Sportsnet+, DYN, Bell Media, beIN, and other OTT operators to control native app experiences across iOS, Apple TV, Android, and the long list of streaming devices. The iOS engineering team builds the applications that deliver AXIS-powered experiences to millions of consumers on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

As a Senior iOS Engineer, you will work end-to-end on user-facing features — from requirements refinement through architecture, implementation, and release. You will help shape the iOS side of the platform, contribute to architectural decisions, and coordinate iOS engineers within your team.

Responsibilities

• Refine and estimate requirements; contribute to product and engineering planning
• Develop new user-facing features for iOS and Apple TV using Swift
• Build reusable components and libraries for future use across the platform
• Translate designs and wireframes into high-quality production code
• Optimise components for performance across iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs
• Define and contribute to the architecture of digital solutions
• Plan delivery effectively — robust, modular, testable code
• Coordinate the work of iOS engineers within the team
• Contribute to Deltatre engineering procedures, code conventions, and best practice
• Stay current with developments in iOS and UI engineering relevant to the platform; the team works to Scrum methodology

Requirements

You produce work that others can build on. You take ownership of features from refinement through release, and you treat the iOS platform as a craft — not only a delivery target. You make architectural decisions that hold up over multiple release cycles, and you document them clearly enough that the team can use them after you have moved to the next problem.

Required

• 5+ years' relevant engineering experience, including at least 2 years at Senior iOS Engineer level
• Recent hands‑on experience with SwiftUI (2+ years)
• Deep proficiency in Swift
• Thorough understanding of Apple system frameworks — Foundation, UIKit, AVFoundation, StoreKit, and others
• Demonstrated unit‑testing practice with XCTest
• Familiarity with Apple app submission, code signing, and iTunes account administration
• Comfortable with instrumentation testing and optimisation
• Comfortable with Git, build automation, and continuous integration

Who Thrives Here

Across both levels, we look for people who bring rigour and curiosity to their work in equal measure. You take quality seriously — not as a constraint, but as a standard you set for yourself. You communicate clearly, flag issues early, and treat your colleagues' time and context with respect. You are honest about what you know and what you are still learning.

This is an environment that rewards initiative. If you are looking for genuinely interesting work on a technically demanding platform, alongside people who hold themselves to a high standard, this may be exactly right.

Not sure which level is right for you? Apply anyway and tell us where you think you sit. We'll figure it out together.

Process and what to expect

Salary starts from of €30,000 at entry level rising to €90,000 for those with significant relevant experience. Where you land depends on your experience, technical background, and the stack you bring. If your expectations sit outside the range, tell us anyway —we're happy to have an open conversation. Internal progression is assessed through a structured process combining a technical assessment and a competency-based interview. The role falls under CCNL Commercio| D.Lgs. 96/2026

Process and what to expect

• Introductory conversation: a step for us to get to know each other better, and for us to answer all questions you might have around Deltatre.
• Take-home assessment: a practical exercise you complete in your own time, designed to show us how you approach a real engineering problem. We will use it as the basis for the technical conversation.
• 1-hour Technical round of Interview: we will deep dive on your experience and on the take-home assessment, and explore the technical decisions you have made in your past work.
• 1-hour Competency Based Interview: we will ask you situational questions around how you deal with real-life scenarios at work. Easier doing it, more than explaining it.

If any of these formats would be difficult for you, tell us — we adjust regularly and can usually accommodate.

Accessibility and accommodation questions are welcome at any stage. Tell us what would work for you.
