Senior iOS Engineer

Senior iOS Engineer (Swift) – SumUp Pay

Location: London, United Kingdom Team: Consumer


Team description

The Consumer team builds and maintains SumUp Pay — a regulated consumer banking app spanning payments, card management, savings, and open banking, used by hundreds of thousands of customers every day. We're a cross-functional squad of engineers, product managers, and designers working at pace on a product that genuinely matters to the people who rely on it. Right now, we're growing our iOS function to match the ambition of our product roadmap — and this role sits at the heart of that.

As an iOS Engineer, you'll own meaningful parts of the SumUp Pay experience end-to-end, from onboarding and KYC flows through to savings features and in-app messaging. With a lean iOS team and a growing product surface, there's real scope to shape how we build — not just what we build.


What you'll do

  • Design, build, and ship iOS features across SumUp Pay — including KYC and card activation flows, savings, open banking consent, and payment experiences

  • Take ownership of performance monitoring, crash reporting, and app stability, proactively resolving issues before they reach customers

  • Contribute to the evolution of our iOS architecture — including modularisation, dependency management, and scalability as the product grows

  • Partner with the CRM Manager to implement in-app messaging (modals and banners) via Iterable, ensuring correct event instrumentation and display logic on iOS

  • Write clean, testable Swift code and contribute actively to code reviews, CI/CD pipeline health, and a culture of quality across the team


You'll be great for this role if…

  • Strong proficiency in Swift and the iOS framework, with a track record of shipping consumer-facing features in a product environment.

  • Experience integrating RESTful APIs and collaborating closely with backend engineers on API design and contracts.

  • Solid understanding of iOS architecture patterns, modularisation, and writing maintainable, well-tested code.

  • Comfort working in a regulated or fintech environment, with an appreciation for the security, compliance, and data privacy considerations that come with it.

  • A product-oriented mindset — someone who thinks about the user journey, not just the implementation, and brings both craft and pragmatism to technical decisions.
