Our iOS application is entirely written in Swift. It is highly modular and we use MVVM-C architecture to maximise code reusability and testing. We also value simplicity over complexity, fewer moving parts means fewer faults and easier comprehension.

  • Can produce robust, well tested code that will give our customers the reliability and security that they need;
  • Care about the product, the user experience and the design;
  • Can provide practical input and guidance to security related technical architecture and design decisions
  • Design and implement appropriate security controls and mechanisms, to secure our iOS application, and data held by it on customers devices
  • Provide technical consultancy services to Starling’s engineering and operations functions to ensure that all technical aspects of the iOS application are built and operated securely

We are looking for people who want to help develop and secure our iOS mobile offering used by our customers on a daily basis.
