Senior iOS Developer

Alphero is a digital agency on a mission to create and compose the intelligent digital experiences of the future. We partner with organisations across NZ, Australia and USA to build digital services that matter and you’ll find we’re behind many of the apps and sites New Zealanders (and Aussies) already know well.

We bring together strategists, designers, developers and testers to shape bold, meaningful products. Guided by our pillars Inventive, Emotive and Brave, our work is grounded in empathy, curiosity and courage.

We’re currently in a transition: from delivering today’s digital products to inventing adaptive, AI-driven, composable experiences. That means our teams aren’t just delivering features, they’re shaping systems built for change. Our development practice plays a critical role, bringing their curiosity, exploring future technologies including AI, using modern, reusable codebases and thoughtful architecture. And with accessibility and security baked in from day one.

The job

We’re looking for a super-solid iOS Developer to join Alphero’s mobile practice.

As part of an agency that builds products, you’ll work across the full lifecycle — from early technical thinking and architecture through to delivery, release and ongoing improvement. You’ll be hands-on coding, owning significant parts of (or entire) iOS work-streams, and contributing to products that deliver meaningful outcomes.

You’ll collaborate closely with designers, QA and clients, enjoying the energy of working together in person while still benefiting from flexible, hybrid working. Communication matters in consulting, but there’s no single “type” here quiet thinkers and confident sharers are equally welcome.
