Senior iOS Engineer

About Zego

At Zego, we're on a mission to do the good thing, not the insurance thing.

Insurance hasn't changed much in over a century. The way we live, work and travel has. We're building the real-time, AI-driven infrastructure that powers innovative insurance, so good drivers get cover that works the way they actually drive.

We're not just updating insurance; We're leading the AI evolution in insurance

For us, AI isn't a line on a roadmap or a buzzword on a slide. It's our operating reality, and it's how we build products that back drivers instead of the old insurance playbook.

We don't do things slowly, and we don't do bureaucracy. We back high-performance builders who want ownership, early responsibility and the chance to do the most career-defining work of their lives. You'll get the space to try things, the tools to move fast, and the room to see your ideas reach millions of drivers.

Do not take our word for it. Read what Zegons say about us on Glassdoor.

If you're ready to build the future of insurance, we're hiring.

What you will be doing

Shape the architecture of the iOS platform so it stays secure, fast and maintainable as the product grows

Deliver a consumer app experience that leads the market, so customers manage their policies and understand their driving without friction

Build and evolve the native mobile SDK that collects the data behind every driver score

Set technical direction and engineering standards that teams beyond your own follow

Raise the quality bar through code reviews, design docs and tech talks, so knowledge spreads rather than sitting with one person

Partner with Product Managers to launch features that customers actually use

What you will need to be successful

Deep iOS experience - Around 6+ years building iOS applications, and you can point to what you shipped and why it mattered

Architectural judgement - A solid understanding of software architecture, design patterns and the trade-offs behind them

SDK craft - You have built SDKs that are scalable, performant and genuinely usable by third-party developers

Secure, high-performance engineering - You build iOS applications that hold up under real scale, security and performance pressure

Clear communication - You collaborate well with Product and other engineers and explain technical decisions in a way people can act on

You work AI-first - You will use AI daily here, and we mean daily. You do not need to arrive an expert, but you do need to arrive curious, experiment fast, and take ownership of getting good quickly. People who wait to be trained will find this uncomfortable

The Zego ways of working

Teams work better with time to collaborate and space to get things done. We call it Zego Hybrid: some of us are in our central London office weekly, others monthly or quarterly. It's about finding the balance between face time and focus that produces great work and a healthy life around it.

We also make a point of getting everyone in the same room. Teams come together every quarter, and once a year the whole company does, properly. It's a serious investment and consistently one of the best parts of the year.

Here is what the last one looked like.

Benefits

Market-competitive salary, benchmarked against your function and reviewed every year

Private medical insurance, for you and your family

Cutting-edge systems and tools, so you always have what you need to drive your impact
