About the role

• Senior Engineer – Mobile delivering complex features for the Pepperstone Trading App. Collaborating with product, design, and analytics in a vibrant global fintech organization.

Responsibilities

• Ship end-user-visible and technical work in two-week Scrum increments with a clear definition of done and low regression risk on iOS and Android.
• Own medium-to-large epics or vertical slices from refinement through production, including tests and observability hooks where applicable.
• Design and implement for the Trading App context: performance, offline and edge cases, secure sessions and data, and integration with back-office and real-time pricing paths.
• Participate actively in refinement so work is estimable, testable, and aligned with mobile architecture; challenge vague acceptance criteria and flag integration risks (auth, trading APIs, connectors).
• Champion code quality, modular boundaries, and release-safe changes compatible with app-store processes and internal release gates; document technical decisions and visible follow-up work in the backlog.
• Coordinate with QA (manual and automation) so scenarios, edge cases, and regression scope are agreed before the sprint ends.
• Develop, support, and maintain software using strong engineering practices—maintainable, efficient, tested, and scalable code.
• Provide input on target-state architecture; build and improve a robust Continuous Delivery practice (short-lived branches or trunk-based development, CI, automated build/test/release—e.g. GitHub Actions or team-standard tooling).
• Collaborate with platform and adjacent teams on shared tooling, frameworks, infrastructure, and contracts.
• Work with product owners, delivery leads, and business analysts; improve SDLC practices and participate in ceremonies, estimation, and refinement.
• Support middle mobile engineers through pairing, design and code review, and clear prioritisation of technical work within the sprint.
• Contribute to technical discussions, retrospectives, and engineering dojos where the team uses them.
• For release: ensure feature flags, configuration, and migration steps are documented for release captains and QA; contribute to post-release fixes and root-cause analysis for owned areas.
• Scope: Trading App mobile codebase and closely related client-side concerns—not Payments as a dedicated domain; people management and thread-wide prioritisation sit with Engineering Manager and Mobile Tech Lead.

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience.
• Expertise in TypeScript/JavaScript, React (React Native), and mobile development.
• Experience writing native code for iOS and Android (Objective-C, Swift, Java/Kotlin).
• Hands-on experience building, testing, and shipping iOS and Android apps.
• Experience with Continuous Delivery practices (CI, trunk-based development, TDD, or equivalent).
• Knowledge of testing methodologies (e.g. TDD, BDD, mocking) or clear willingness to grow there.
• Experience using automation for build, release, and deploy (e.g. GitHub Actions).
• Solid grasp of software design patterns (e.g. SOLID, MVVM/MVC, Clean Architecture, DDD) and both object-oriented and functional styles.
• Commitment to continuous learning and current engineering practice.
• Experience working with internal platforms or SDKs is a plus.
• Proven ability to work with remote, distributed teams.
• Ability to make sound decisions in a fast-paced environment and bias to action.
