## Job description

## About Wheely

Wheely is redefining premium transportation across major cities in Europe, the US, and the Middle East. We blend cutting-edge technology with the craft of five-star chauffeuring to deliver an experience trusted by more than 100,000 active riders and 1,200 corporate accounts.

We’re a profitable, fast-growing scale-up with $43M raised and over $100M in annual revenue. Having recently launched in New York City, we’re expanding rapidly across the US and EMEA. If you take pride in your craft and want to help shape the next chapter of our growth, we'd love to hear from you.

## About The Role

Our Passenger team builds the app our clients use every day and makes journey booking easy and fast: from pickup and boarding, including airport pickups, to concierge requests and changes on the go.

We’re looking for a Senior iOS Engineer to join a team that owns its product areas end to end and focuses on what matters: clean, modular, well-tested code and polished, responsive interfaces, shipped continuously.

Our apps are written in Swift. The stack includes UIKit, The Composable Architecture, Swift Concurrency and Combine, and a modular codebase built with Tuist. Releases are automated with GitHub Actions and Fastlane.

Our interview process includes a recruiter screen, an iOS platform interview and a live coding session in Swift. Senior candidates also complete a structured review of past experience and achievements.

## Responsibilities

- Build and ship new features in our iOS app in Swift, owning them from technical design to release and further development.
- Design clean, modular and testable code with clear responsibilities and extension points, and help evolve the app architecture.
- Build polished, responsive interfaces and animations that match our design standards.
- Work closely with product managers, designers, backend engineers and QA to turn product requirements into concrete technical solutions.
- Keep the app fast and reliable: improve performance, stability, test coverage and production monitoring.

## Requirements

- 5+ years of professional native iOS development, including recent roles, building user-facing apps used in production.
- In-depth knowledge Swift, ARC, concurrency (GCD and Swift Concurrency) and the UIKit rendering and layout model
- Ability to structure a solution, choose the right level of abstraction and clearly explain trade-offs.
- Intermediate (B1) English proficiency or higher. You should be comfortable debating technical trade-offs with your peers.

## What We Offer

- Office-based role in Nicosia, four days a week with flexible start and finish times, plus one remote day of your choice
- Competitive salary
- Employee stock options plan
- Private medical and dental insurance
- Daily Lunch allowance
- Latest-generation MacBook Pro and 4k display
- Professional development stipend
- Relocation support, including visa sponsorship and allowance

All of your personal information will be collected stored and processed in accordance with [Wheely’s Candidate Privacy Notice](https://wheely.com/en/legal/uk/for-candidates/privacy)
