Do you love shipping native iOS apps that millions of users open every day? Do you want real ownership over architecture, code quality and release cycles instead of being handed tiny Jira tickets in a 200-person engineering org?


Here’s your chance to join one of the most ambitious mobile teams in the Dutch tech scene right now.


About the company

Our client is a profitable, fast-growing digital agency with 25+ years of track record building mission-critical apps for some of the biggest brands in Europe. They’re in full expansion mode: moving the Dutch HQ to a brand new Amsterdam office, rapidly scaling the mobile chapter and winning larger and more complex projects every quarter.

Small, tight-knit engineering culture (30+ engineers, 10+ nationalities), flat hierarchy, no politics, and a genuine obsession with craft and impact. This is agency life at its best — variety, top-tier clients, proper tooling and the speed of a start-up without the survival stress.


What you’ll do

  • Own large parts of flagship iOS apps from concept to App Store
  • Define architecture, set coding standards and push the iOS chapter forward
  • Ship frequently and see your work in the hands of millions within weeks
  • Work directly with clients, designers and cross-platform teams
  • Mentor medior developers and keep the bar high
  • Occasionally touch React Native when it makes sense for delivery speed
  • Experiment with the latest iOS features the day they drop


What we’re looking for

  • 5–7+ years of professional mobile development
  • 4+ years shipping production iOS apps with Swift
  • Master-level Swift: SwiftUI + UIKit, async/await, Combine, actors
  • Strong accessibility game (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, etc.)
  • Testing muscle memory — XCTest, snapshot tests, E2E
  • CI/CD pipelines and App Store release process in your sleep
  • React Native experience is a big plus (or the drive to master it fast)
  • Start-up/agency energy: proactive, pragmatic, hates bureaucracy
  • Fluent English and excellent communication skills


What you’ll get

  • Good base salary
  • True flexibility: start early or late, hybrid as you like, and up to 2 months per year working remote from any EU country
  • Proper yearly learning budget – go to WWDC, Øredev, or any course you want, we’ve got it covered
  • Monthly allowance for your home internet (because we actually mean it when we say hybrid)
  • One paid company trip per year to work side-by-side with the Barcelona team flight on us.
  • Daily catered lunch, great coffee, unlimited snacks and fruit when you’re in the office
  • Legendary team events: monthly borrels, quarterly off-sites, summer & winter parties – the good kind, never forced
  • 25 vacation days + national holidays (and we actually encourage you to take them)
  • A diverse, ego-free team of 30+ engineers from 12 countries who love to level each other up


Important We can only consider candidates already living in the Netherlands with a valid EU work permit. No visa sponsorship or relocation support available.
