Senior iOS Engineer | AXIS

This role is offered on an Italian employment contract. Candidates must be based in Italy as we are unable to support remote working from outside the country due to local employment and tax legislation.

AXIS is Deltatre's user experience management platform — used by Brit Box, Sportsnet+, DYN, Bell Media, beIN, and other OTT operators to control native app experiences across iOS, Apple TV, Android, and the long list of streaming devices.

The iOS engineering team builds the applications that deliver AXIS-powered experiences to millions of consumers on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

As a Senior iOS Engineer, you will work end-to-end on user-facing features — from requirements refinement through architecture, implementation, and release. You will help shape the iOS side of the platform, contribute to architectural decisions, and coordinate iOS engineers within your team.

Responsibilities

Refine and estimate requirements; contribute to product and engineering planning

Develop new user-facing features for iOS and Apple TV using Swift

Build reusable components and libraries for future use across the platform

Translate designs and wireframes into high-quality production code

Optimise components for performance across iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs

Define and contribute to the architecture of digital solutions

Plan delivery effectively — robust, modular, testable code

Coordinate the work of iOS engineers within the team

Contribute to Deltatre engineering procedures, code conventions, and best practice

Stay current with developments in iOS and UI engineering relevant to the platform; the team works to Scrum methodology

Requirements
You produce work that others can build on. You take ownership of features from refinement through release, and you treat the iOS platform as a craft — not only a delivery target. You make architectural decisions that hold up over multiple release cycles, and you document them clearly enough that the team can use them after you have moved to the next problem.

Required

5+ years' relevant engineering experience, including at least 2 years at Senior iOS Engineer level

Recent hands-on experience with Swift

UI (2+ years)

Deep proficiency in Swift

Thorough understanding of Apple system frameworks — Foundation, UIKit, AV Foundation, Store Kit, and others

Demonstrated unit-testing practice with XCTest

Familiarity with Apple app submission, code signing, and iTunes account administration

Comfortable with instrumentation testing and optimisation

Comfortable with Git, build automation, and continuous integration

Fluent written and spoken English

Experience working with a global team or employer

Experience with libraries commonly used in the team — Alamofire, Bright Futures, emitter-kit, Kingfisher

Familiarity with Facebook SDK, Fabric, Crashlytics

Experience with In-App Purchase implementation

Background in the sports domain

Genuine interest in Apple TV development

Who Thrives Here
iOS engineering at Deltatre runs at the intersection of consumer experience and platform scale. The apps you build are used across multiple device generations and major broadcast events, and the technical decisions you make echo across that surface. The work rewards engineers who care about the small details — gesture responsiveness, memory pressure, the moment when a stream buffers and the user makes a decision about the platform — and who can hold the longer-arc view of how the codebase evolves.

A good Senior iOS Engineer at Deltatre tends to be honest about technical debt without being doom-laden, generous with knowledge transfer to less senior engineers, and curious about how platform decisions interact across iOS, Apple TV, and the wider product.

Process and what to expect
Salary starts from of €30,000 at entry level rising to €90,000 for those with significant relevant experience. Where you land depends on your experience, technical background, and the stack you bring. If your expectations sit outside the range, tell us anyway —we're happy to have an open conversation. Internal progression is assessed through a structured process combining a technical assessment and a competency-based interview.
