Spliit is a Manchester-based fintech building modern financial products that help customers manage their money smarter. We are a small, ambitious global team where engineers have direct ownership of what they ship and a real say in how the platform evolves. As we scale, we are growing our core product engineering team and looking for people who care about quality, pace, and building something that lasts.
The Role
We are looking for a senior, frontend developer to lead the build of our customer-facing mobile experience. You will own the React Native application end-to-end — architecture, performance, release pipeline, and the user experience that millions of pounds of customer activity will eventually flow through. You will work closely with our backend engineers on the Microsoft stack to design clean, secure APIs and deliver features that feel fast and trustworthy.
What You Will Do
- Lead the frontend development of our React Native mobile app (iOS and Android)
- Own the mobile build, release, and crash-monitoring pipeline
- Design and integrate APIs with our .NET / C# backend services
- Drive code quality through reviews, pairing, and pragmatic standards
- Collaborate with product and design on UX, performance, and accessibility
- Mentor mid-level engineers as the team grows
- Contribute to backend work where it makes sense — we value full stack instincts
