Role overview
We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer with expert knowledge of iOS mobile development to join us working with our media client as a lead iOS developer for one of their mobile applications. The role will require strong technical knowledge whilst working closely with engineering leadership and with more junior colleagues to deliver new features and improvements to the app.
The successful application will be well versed in the Swift programming language and tasks will include improvements to the CarPlay experience (to improve the app whilst driving), transitioning the UI from UiKit to SwiftUI, modernising the codebase, re-architecting around future shared components strategy and working to integrate experiences built by other BBC teams.
We value a collaborative approach, so excellent communication skills are a must to articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and work effectively within a multidisciplinary team. We also care about code quality and so experience in both test driven development (using XCTest and/or Swift Testing) and UI automation testing (XCUITest) is also essential for this role.
