ABOUT ASPORA People on the move deserve a bank that moves with them. Since 2022, Aspora has been building a borderless financial operating system that makes money as mobile and transparent as its users. Backed by influential venture capitalists like Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, Hummingbird Ventures, Y Combinator & Global Founders Capital. We're a team of 150+ across India, the UK, the UAE, EU and the US, working with extreme ownership, radical candour, and an obsession with customer impact. We celebrate builders who question assumptions, ship fast, and turn regulatory complexity into elegant solutions. If you’re driven to redefine what global banking can be, we’d love to build the future with you.
At Aspora, we’re looking for a sharp, hands-on Senior iOS Engineer to join our team in Bangalore. You’ll be part of the core team shaping our iOS app — a product that brings modern banking to users across the globe. We’re not chasing buzzwords — we’re looking for strong mobile fundamentals, sound thinking, and clean code. If you enjoy reasoning through complex problems, designing systems that scale, and shipping things that actually matter, you’ll feel right at home here. You’ll work in a fast-moving, product-focused environment where learning is part of the job — whether that’s Firebase, A/B testing, or a brand-new design system. What matters most to us is your ability to think, build, and grow. Location: Bangalore l In-office l 5 days week WHAT YOU’LL OWN: - Build and shape the foundation of our iOS app — from architecture decisions to hands-on implementation — with a strong emphasis on code quality, clean design patterns, and maintainability. - Lead the full development cycle: from ideation to launch, with deep involvement in feature scoping, design discussions, and post-release iterations. - Think deeply, code thoughtfully: We’re looking for someone who understands how things work under the hood — threading, dependency management, scaling architecture — and makes smart technical decisions. - Collaborate across functions: Work closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to craft intuitive and impactful features that reach a global audience. - Drive technical excellence: Champion best practices, raise the bar for the team, and keep us current with the latest in iOS — while staying practical and grounded. - Own, learn, and grow: Whether it's picking up Firebase, implementing A/B testing, or solving performance bottlenecks — we value curiosity and the ability to learn what the moment calls for. WHAT WE NEED : - At least 6+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining iOS applications — you’ve shipped apps, worked with APIs, and handled real-world product and user constraints. - Strong command of Swift and SwiftUI, with solid working knowledge of UIKit, Core Data, Core Animation, and Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines. - You know your fundamentals — multithreading, memory management, architecture patterns like MVC and MVVM, and data persistence aren't just buzzwords to you; they’re tools you use with intent. - Fluency with tools of the trade — Xcode, Git, and whatever else helps you build fast, test thoroughly, and deliver with confidence. - You think like an engineer, not just a coder — you break down complex problems, weigh trade-offs, and write clean, maintainable, modular code. - Architectural instincts — you’re comfortable designing scalable mobile systems, using dependency injection and modular thinking to keep things tidy and testable. - Experience integrating APIs — you're at home working with RESTful endpoints, handling errors gracefully, and building smooth async flows. - Debugging and performance matters — you’ve used Instruments or similar tools to profile apps and smooth out bottlenecks before users ever notice them. - Curiosity and a builder’s mindset — you’re excited to pick up tools like Firebase, analytics, or A/B testing if and when the product demands it. - Clear, thoughtful communication — whether it’s a pull request, a stand-up, or a tough technical conversation, you can express yourself and collaborate with ease. WHO YOU ARE: - You’re a seasoned iOS developer with at least 6+ years of hands-on experience, and you’re confident building production-grade apps from the ground up. - You’re genuinely excited about what we’re building at Aspora — not just the tech, but the impact and ambition behind it. - You thrive in high-autonomy environments — you don’t wait to be told what to do; you ask sharp questions, spot what’s missing, and get going. - You hold a high bar for yourself and for those you collaborate with — code quality, clarity of thought, product sense. - You’re proactive about learning — if a task demands something new, you pick it up, figure it out, and make it work. - You behave like an owner — you see the big picture, take full responsibility for your work, and care deeply about how it performs out in the wild. - You’re outcome-focused — you optimise for impact, not motion, and avoid busywork that doesn’t move the needle. - You’ve got strong opinions, loosely held — you’re not afraid to advocate for what you believe, but open-minded enough to change your stance when shown a better path. WHY JOIN ASPORA?: - Design what users feel – Own the end-to-end mobile experience for a breakout fintech reimagining money movement for immigrants — one of the world’s most underserved and globally impactful communities. - Build elegant systems that scale – Architect seamless, performant iOS flows that handle real-time financial interactions, compliance nuances, and product experiments — all while keeping UX buttery-smooth. - Craft with people who care — deeply – Join a small, sharp, no-ego team that obsesses over clean architecture, thoughtful abstractions, and getting the details right — not just because it's good practice, but because people depend on what we build. - Set the tone for mobile at Aspora – Influence how we think about app design, testing, releases, and team culture. This isn’t just a code monkey job — you’ll help define how great mobile gets done here. - Build for lives, not just screens – Your work won’t just look good — it’ll mean something. Every screen you design, every flow you polish, impacts how families send money, access opportunity, and move freely across borders. - Leave a mark – This is your chance to build something that outlasts trends and tech stacks — crafted with care, driven by empathy, and rooted in real human need.
