Company mission

To accompany people on their financial journey and give them the tools to manage, save and invest their money.

Role

Who you are

  • Technical knowledge is critical but we are a startup treading in uncharted territory so attitude is even more important. We're looking for people that like uncertainty and want to figure out how to do things that haven’t been done before
  • You're a true team player and inherently positive
  • Where others see problems, you see solutions
  • You have a strong understanding of the iOS SDK and its frameworks
  • You’re well versed in Swift and stay up-to-date with the latest changes
  • You’re proficient in writing robust, testable code with a comprehensive understanding of the testing pyramid
  • You have extensive experience in shipping and iterating upon apps in the App Store
  • You’re not afraid to take ownership and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including designers, product managers and other engineers
  • You’ve mentored junior engineers helping them enhance their skills and grow professionally
  • You’re a product person too — you understand the value and impact of your work
  • You go the extra mile to add the awesome sprinkles

Desirable

  • Taken part in open-source projects
  • Experience with backend technologies
  • Experience with The Composable Architecture and SwiftUI
  • Experience with Combine and async/await

What the job involves

  • We’re looking for a user-focused Senior iOS Engineer to join our engineering team
  • You'll be building Plum on iOS from its early days, giving our current and prospective customers a more intimate way to interact with their money
  • We work in "squads" – a more startup-appropriate name for saying small, cross-functional teams. Each squad has a mission and a set of KPIs to monitor and improve
  • As an engineer you'll be working in a squad, but you can also reach out to and work with anyone in the company
  • You will also be a part of a Mobile engineering team, consisting of Mobile Product Engineers who share the same vision and passion of building an exceptional mobile team that will help people be financially better off

Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Consumers are not satisfied with the products being offered by traditional banks, who have proven slow to react to their needs and demands. Plum is one of the increasing number of money management alternatives, offering a platform for users to automate their investments and savings.

The development of fintech in the UK has made the space incredibly competitive, with other companies such as Cleo and Emma trying to solve similar problems. That said, Plum has certainly found its place, with over a million users having downloaded the app. It was also voted Best Personal Finance App at the 2023 British Bank Awards, a testament to its popularity.

The company plans to use its latest funding to accelerate European expansion and heighten its product offering, building a more cohesive customer experience for its app. Most recent developments to the platform include the addition of "Watchlists" and "Price Alerts", two features that aim to further empower people by delivering smart notifications and portfolio control.

Company values

  • Figure It Out - Creating change is not impossible. Effort, curiosity, and persistence got us where we are today and will get us where we need to be tomorrow
  • Make Change Happen - Money will work radically differently from how it does today. When it comes to savings - it will only work the way it should, if we make it happen
  • Together We Push - We push each other to a high standard, treat each other fairly, and are constantly evolving into better versions of ourselves. We push new ideas - the old way of money is no longer fit for purpose. We push until it’s done. “Done” is when it’s helping our customers
  • No Frills - We’re lean and efficient because we’re here for the long term. Our journey with our customers ends when they retire
  • Have Their Back - Plum customers are financially better off people. We look out for them and have their best interests at heart, whilst still having a material impact on their finances. This is why they trust us
