Company Description
Depop is a peer-to-peer circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell and discover secondhand fashion. Our mission is simple: to make fashion circular by making secondhand as exciting and rewarding as buying new.
Founded in 2011, Depop’s diverse community has helped move resale into the mainstream, where buying secondhand is no longer an alternative, but how people of different ages now engage with fashion. Today, more than 56 million registered users come to Depop to find great value, express their own personal style and give clothes a longer life. We believe that everything you want already exists, and our role is to help people discover it.
Powered by a team of over 500 people, our company is headquartered in London, with offices in New York. In 2021, Depop became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Etsy - the global marketplace for unique and creative goods - and continues to operate as a standalone company.

We aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, no matter who they are or where they’re from. Just as our platform connects people globally, we believe our workplace should reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. We thrive on the power of different perspectives and experiences, knowing they drive innovation and bring us closer to our users.
We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer, providing employment opportunities without regard to age, ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy or maternity, marriage and civil partnership, or any other protected status. We’re continuously evolving our recruitment processes to ensure fairness and are open to accommodating any needs you might have.

Role:
Depop is the home of fashion resale, connecting millions of buyers and sellers across more than 150 countries and making it easy to buy and sell secondhand fashion.
You'll join a newly formed team within one of Depop's core product areas: Pricing. This team plays a critical role in the marketplace by helping sellers confidently price their items to sell faster and improve their earnings, while enabling buyers to discover great value.
Working in a cross-functional team alongside Product, Design, Backend Engineering, Machine Learning, and QA, you'll build intuitive, data-driven experiences that make pricing and negotiation feel simple, transparent, and rewarding for both buyers and sellers.
Responsibilities:
Ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, product, and design disciplines to shape solutions and deliver outcomes.
Pragmatic approach to evolving technology and modernising applications incrementally.
Mentor engineers and contribute to a strong quality culture through reviews, testing, and technical guidance.
Ability to influence technical direction through engineering standards, design discussions, and technical leadership.
Track record of technical leadership without a management title: setting standards, unblocking others, making architectural calls in ambiguous situations.
Technical Expertise:
Substantial experience building iOS apps in production environments in Swift, with exposure to evolving iOS versions and modular app architectures.
Deep understanding of Swift, including memory management, concurrency (async/await, actors), and state management in complex application flows.
Production experience with SwiftUI and/or UIKit.
Experience implementing MVVM-C or similar coordination patterns with strong architectural judgement and ability to make pragmatic technical decisions and balance short and long-term trade-offs.
Experience integrating mobile applications with backend services in API-driven environments, ideally including OpenAPI-based workflows.
Experience writing and maintaining automated tests across unit, integration, and broader application testing layers using Swift Testing and XCTest.
Nice to Have:
Experience working in modern mobile CI/CD environments (including Bitrise, GitHub Actions, and merge queue workflows).
Familiarity with modularised iOS codebases and build-time optimisation.
Contributions to platform/core architecture beyond your immediate team.
