- Proficiency in frontend frameworks (React, Angular, Vue) and responsive UI design, as well as mobile development for iOS (Swift, Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin, Java)
- Experience with version control systems (Git) and familiarity with automated testing, continuous integration, and continuous deployment

- Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate technical issues for a non-technical audience
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
- Proven experience leading software development across any of the four disciplines (iOS, Android, Backend, or Frontend)

Desirable
- Full-stack development experience, including backend (Python/Django, Java/Kotlin) and frontend (React, Node.js) technologies
- Experience with message queues (Kafka, Kinesis, Redis Streams) and event-driven or reactive programming
- Familiarity with design systems, state management, and mobile app management through platforms like Apple’s developer portal and App Store Connect
- Passion for data-driven design, asynchronous programming, and creating exceptional user experiences
- Love of dogs (and bunnies) or just tolerance—our workplace is very canine-friendly
What the job involves
- Lead the development of high-performance software across iOS, Android, Backend, and Frontend platforms, ensuring seamless integration with our systems
- Tackle challenging technical problems, providing innovative solutions that align with business objectives
- Optimize code performance, data queries, and network requests to deliver efficient and scalable applications
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including engineers, designers, product managers, and data scientists, to deliver user-centric features

Our take
Leading mobile shopping and loyalty platform Fetch has seen explosive success in recent years. Its concept is simple: users receive spendable points in exchange for scans of their shopping receipts.
The app has tens of millions of daily active users with even more downloads, and has seen impressive growth, having now reached 'unicorn' status twice over. This should come as no surprise. Brand reinforcement is crucial to customer retention and acquisition - but it is harder than ever, with the fragmentation of choice on the market and the declining efficacy of marketing. So material loyalty benefits are likely to prove a crucial tool in creating and leveraging a strong customer base.
Whilst Fetch faces competition from similar receipt-scan rewards platforms like ReceiptPal and Ibotta, it grew into a profitable company in late 2023. And its using its most recent Morgan Stanley-backed funding to aggressively add brand partners at a competitive pace and onboard staff at a level that promises strong continued growth.
