About the team:

We are on a mission to level-up the mobile app.

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 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. It is a pillar for the technical strategy at Zopa and this team will play a prominent role at the heart of that strategy. The app is today built using React Native but increasingly we are leveraging native capabilities (Swift and Kotlin) to significantly overhaul the app experience.

A day in the life:

  • You will report into the Head of Engineering of Mobile.
  • Managing the engineers in the Mobile Platform team and be responsible for motivating the team and holding the right bar on performance and drive quality across all stages of the SDLC.
  • This is a leadership role that requires a balance of technical acumen, project management skills, and a proven ability to deliver complex high profile strategic projects at scale.
  • Working closely with Principal Engineer in Mobile, as well as the entire mobile community, to execute the technical strategy for the mobile app itself and to improve how it is built, distributed and observed.
  • Communicating with stakeholders (technical and otherwise) and bring product teams closer together. Some of your stakeholders will be the most senior members of the business.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
