Our Story
Hello there. We’re Zopa.
We started our journey back in 2005, building the first ever peer-to-peer lending company. Fast forward to 2020 and we launched Zopa Bank. A bank that listens to what our customers don’t like about finance and does the opposite. We’re redefining what it feels like to work in finance. Our vision for a new era of banking puts people front and centre — we’ve built a business that empowers everyone to aim high, every day, to move finance forward. Find out more about our fantastic offerings at Zopa.com!
We’re incredibly proud of our achievements and none of it would be possible without the amazing team here. It’s not just industry awards we’re winning, we’ve also been named in the top three UK’s Most Loved Workplaces.
If you embrace unconventional challenges, are unafraid to think differently and are driven to make an outsized impact, you’ll thrive here at Zopa, so join us, and make it count. Want to see us in action? Follow us on Instagram @zopalife
About the team
We are on a mission to level-up the mobile app and we’re looking for someone to join the team with native iOS development (with Swift) - this is a mid-level position.
You will join our Mobile Platform team which looks after tech underpinning the app itself: from the app’s architecture, shared capabilities and libraries and experiences, as well as the build and analytics infrastructure. The team plays an important role as thought leaders in the broader mobile community at Zopa, and generally is responsible for moving our tech forward in that space.​
The company has the vision to become Britain’s best bank and have just launched the Zopa account which is a high touch, mass-market product. The app is our most important touch point with the customer and it needs to be performant and delightful. We therefore want to invest in the tech of the app.​
The app is today built using React Native but we have found ourselves increasingly leveraging native capabilities (Swift and Kotlin). We are looking to further build out our skills in native development and use those to significantly overhaul the app experience.​

  • You will report into the Engineering Manager of the Mobile Platform team.​
  • You will work closely with other Native Mobile Engineers on the team.
  • You'll work with the wider mobile (React Native developers) community on the best practices in native development.
  • You will work on making our app more performant, robust and delightful. You will help us identify and correct bottlenecks and fix bugs to optimise application performance.​
  • You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams (designers, product managers, backend developers) to define, design, and implement new features that leverage native capabilities.​

About you:

  • You a skilled mobile app developer with a track record of creating sophisticated applications using Swift. You have published apps to the Play Store.​
  • Understanding of iOS frameworks and native app development.​
  • You have worked on high-engagement and modern apps, with an emphasis on performance and delightful experiences.​
  • You consider quality as a first class concern and have a proven background in improving quality in previous roles. You have a passion for your craft and doing things “right” (semantics, validity, maintainability…) ​
  • An interest in our mission and strong customer focus.​

  • Experience with mobile security best practices.​
  • Experience working with Android developers (Kotlin) and/or React Native developers.​
