Vetted on a call by a Wave consultant, not scraped. £125,000 and above.
Cut build times by 98% at a corporate travel platform, and the SDKs they built at an identity verification company became the foundation of its core mobile product. Swift and SwiftUI with UIKit, Combine and RxSwift, and heavy on tooling with Tuist, Bitrise and Swift Package Registry. Currently leading architecture modernisation on a compliance archiving platform for financial institutions.
Looking forWants to move into cross-platform properly. They've been building Flutter apps in their own time and want it to become the day job.
How they came acrossThe kind of engineer who fixes the thing everyone else works around. Their record is mostly developer experience, build tooling and supply chain security rather than feature counts, and they talk about it in numbers.

Twelve years across 5 employers, all product companies, covering identity verification, corporate travel and now compliance archiving, with a co-founder stint in between. Average tenure 2 years 2 months with a longest stint of 3 years 5 months.
The draw is Flutter specifically. A pure native iOS role probably won't hold them.
BSc in computer science with business.
First mobile hire at a payments startup, and rebuilt the mobile payments platform from the ground up including POS integration. Android depth in Kotlin and coroutines, but genuinely cross-stack, with Node.js, TypeScript, React and Vue all in production. Before the startup, nearly 7 years at Microsoft as a senior engineering lead.
Looking forCurrently on a 4 day week at £105,000 and wants £130,000 for a standard 5 day week. That is the whole trade, and they were direct about it.
How they came acrossPragmatic about trade-offs and talks about maintainability and developer experience rather than feature velocity. Doesn't want a place where engineering is carved into silos and work gets handed over walls.

Nine years across 6 employers, though the engineering career is really 3 of them, a long run at Microsoft, a short bootcamp teaching stint and now a fintech startup. Hospitality management came before all of it. Average tenure 2 years with a longest stint of 6 years 9 months.
Three months notice, and the £130,000 is a floor tied to giving up a 4 day week. Heavier onsite expectations push the number up again.
Masters in mathematics.
Seven years of consumer fintech iOS, and the role has widened out from pure native into Kotlin Multiplatform, with shared business logic and UI components across platforms. Also built and owns a backend for frontend layer in TypeScript and Node, so the mobile work runs into API design. Swift and SwiftUI with async/await and Actors, tested with XCTest, XCUITest and snapshot testing.
Looking forFour years in one place and ready for a different environment. Wants cross-platform work, broader product ownership and a startup pace, with Flutter of active interest.
How they came acrossNotably un-bitter about the current job. What they told us was that things are actually good, they just want a new challenge, which is a healthier reason to move than most we hear.
