Since 2016, over 2 million people in 10 European markets have set aside more than £2 billion with our clever automation and AI – that’s the magic of Plum! As recognition for our work, we’ve received awards from the likes of Deloitte, Finder, and more.

That’s all down to our passionate team of 200+ Plumsters, who work around Europe to help us achieve our mission. And now we’re looking for more brilliant people to join us on our journey.

The Team & Role
We’re looking for a Junior iOS Engineer with a customer-first mindset to join our growing engineering team in Athens. Plum has been featured multiple times by Apple, named App of the Day, and currently holds a 4.6-star rating with over 53,000 reviews. You’ll be joining us at an exciting stage, helping shape the Plum experience on iOS and building a product that empowers people to be financially better off.

How We Work
At Plum, engineers are part of cross-functional squads made up of Product Managers, Designers, Backend and Mobile Engineers. Each squad is focused on a clear mission and aligned with one of our strategic business areas. We believe in data-informed decision-making, fast iterations, and teams that take full ownership of what they build.

As part of the Mobile Engineering team, you'll work closely with peers who are passionate about delivering exceptional mobile experiences, and building a top-tier app that users love and trust.

Our Engineering Philosophy
We care about clean, simple, well-tested code. We favour native tools, take a thoughtful approach to third-party dependencies, and value clarity, curiosity, and collaboration. We’re not afraid to challenge the status quo if it makes the product better.

• Take part in code reviews and grow your technical skills alongside experienced engineers
• Learn and apply best practices in iOS development and testing
• Understand the impact of your work and contribute to a product that truly helps people

What We’re Looking For
We’re not expecting years of experience — we’re looking for potential, drive, and a willingness to learn. You might be just starting out or have done some personal projects, internships, or had an entry-level role.

We’d love to hear from you if:

• You’re excited about building products that improve people’s lives
• You’re learning Swift and curious about modern iOS frameworks and tools
• You care about creating smooth, delightful user experiences
