As a Senior iOS Developer you make sure our mobile app becomes the best e-commerce app in Europe.

What you tell people at parties

I make sure Coolblue is under your thumb and in your pocket. 

What you really do

• Develop a brand new e-commerce application with a focus on customer amazement.
• Work together with team members to write Swift code.
• Research how cutting-edge developments in the iOS landscape can be used to improve our app and our development process.
• Evangelise and spread your apps mentality to your colleagues.

How you do it

• You prioritize your own work together with your team and Product Owner. You will receive immediate feedback from end users and you will have a lot of opportunities to experiment.
• You improve the quality of the iOS code, ensuring a maintainable architecture.
• You actively coach team members and continuously provide them with constructive feedback.

Team

You'll become part of the mobile app team: an agile, multidisciplinary team, currently consisting of six members. Each team member has his or her speciality: from iOS development to UX design. Your team will be supported by a Team Lead, Product Owner and a Scrum Master. With your team you will work on the ultimate goal: the best retail app in Europe, an awesome app that will put a smile on our customers faces.

A day at the office

You work with Hindrik on improving the code of the search controller. The code is a bit of a mess and you need to structure it to be able to add the scroll feature. Hindrik hasn't worked a lot with the MVVM pattern, so you can show him some options how to implement it and you discuss which one to apply to get the best result. Luckily, you get that done before lunch.

Youre surprised by the eating habits of Hindrik, who eats some sausages with mayonnaise for lunch (again). And he still manages to lose weight, thats just unfair! You decide to get a sandwich with some of your colleagues.
After lunch you talk to Marijn about integrating the checkout of the website into the mobile app. He gives you a lot of useful information so you immediately plan a meeting with the team, to talk about different solutions. You also walk by Mike (Product Owner), so he knows about it as well.

At the end of the day, Fer calls the team together to do a team check. He finished adding customer reviews to the product page. You observe and ask him some questions. Everybody is happy with the result: it looks nice and works smooth. Because its friday, you all decide to go out and have a drink; success should be celebrated!
