Senior iOS Developer (Hybrid, Manchester) – £400 per Day (Inside IR35)
The Opportunity
We’re seeking an experienced Mobile Engineer (iOS) to design, build, and maintain high-quality, large-scale mobile applications used globally. This role is about more than feature delivery—it’s about making a tangible impact on products, teams, and millions of users where innovation aligns with exceptional engineering.
Compensation & Flexibility
✔ £400 per day (Inside IR35) ✔ 2 days a week in office (Manchester region) ✔ Initial 3-month contract, with potential extension
About the Role
You’ll collaborate in a cross-functional team, working alongside engineers, designers, and product managers to deliver seamless user experiences and scalable solutions. Key responsibilities include:
- Partnering across disciplines to bridge gaps between technical and design visions
- Driving innovation through experimentation and thoughtful iteration
- Moving rapidly from insight → prototyping → delivery
- Championing engineering best practices in a remote-first, collaborative environment
This isn’t a cookie-cutter “tick boxes” role. Instead, we’re looking for a self-starter with: ✅ A growth mindset, ready to learn, experiment, and influence ✅ An quiet active contributor—vs. just checking off items from a spec sheet ✅ An ability to reshaping discussions, mentoring peers, and driving team culture
