Senior iOS Developer in Amsterdam, Nederland

, , - at Catawiki, we come across exceptional objects such as these every single day. As Europe’s fastest growing online auction platform, our mission is to make special objects available to everyone.

In fact, 10 million users are buying and selling on Catawiki every month. This means we are continually growing and always on the lookout for new talent.

Born and raised in The Netherlands, we started in 2008 as a platform where collectors could manage their collections online. Yet, times change, ideas evolve, and in 2011 we hosted our first online auction and we haven’t looked back since! We’ve now grown to 650+ Catawikians working across 7 international offices and are proud to have maintained our start-up mentality.

Our iOS story

As a quick intro to the Catawiki iOS environment, we’re currently 95% of the way through our migration from Objective-C to Swift 5 and are rolling out some exciting new features ranging from a total rebuild of our auction screen  (one of the most used parts of the app) to the integration of a module that lets users chat live customer Support. Our iOS platform team builds, maintains, and perfects our auction app for iOS devices.

What you’ll do   

Here at Catawiki, you will have a huge impact, working in a data-driven way to add value to the business along with the 9 other members of the iOS team. To enable our business to grow, experiment, and innovate the product, you’ll be adding new features to create an even greater experience for our users.

Our Stack

You will work with Swift, and Cocoa Touch frameworks (mainly UIKit), Cocoapods, Fastlane, Quick & Nimble. You’ll use VIPER as your leading view architecture. It is important that you’re a fast and willing learner with a keen eye for business and product.

We’re always looking for ways to improve our stack, and currently exploring ways in which SwiftUI and SPM might help us.

What you’ll bring 

You should be experienced with Swift, though the rest of the stack that you're used to working with is not so important, as long as you're motivated to learn new things, ship new features, and tackle new and interesting challenges.

Next to this, it’s likely you’ll also have experience with the following:

• Swift and Cocoa Touch frameworks
• Object-oriented and functional programming paradigms
• Framework-based development, and Cocoapods
• API design and management
• Unit testing
• Distribution process and build automation
• A/B testing
  
  

Diversity

Catawiki is committed to building a diverse company and diverse teams. That includes everyone, no matter your age, ability, gender, race, religion or sexual orientation. We welcome applications from underserved and underrepresented communities. If you’ve got a story to tell, come and join us. 

Working and hiring remotely

As we navigate through the Covid19 pandemic together, we want to reassure you that keeping candidates and our employees safe is of paramount importance to us. That’s why the entire recruitment process will take place remotely, using phone and video calls. For successful applicants who end up being hired, we always ensure a safe, engaging, and (for the time being) remote onboarding experience. When it is safe to do so, Catawiki will be implementing a hybrid work policy where employees based in the Netherlands will work from the office once per week and from home for the rest.
