Ios Developer jobs in United Kingdom

Housr is a fast-growing, well backed Series A tech company on a mission to radically improve the student rental experience across the globe.

The company was founded after co-founders Harry and Ben experienced first‑hand how broken, stressful and outdated student renting felt while at university and decided there had to be a better way. Since then, Housr has grown rapidly across the UK and the US, partnering with leading colleges and operators to create a fairer, simpler and more transparent rental journey for students and parents alike.

We now operate across our 3 offices - Manchester, Chicago and New York.

In 2025, Housr hit $10m ARR before raising a $10m Series A, giving us the runway and ambition to scale rapidly!

Today, we’re a close‑knit global team of ~45 people (plus a large student brand ambassador network), with engineering at the heart of everything we build. Under the leadership of our Founders, Harry Neil Panter and Ben Clayton, the focus is clear: move fast, build with purpose, and make a genuine impact on student lives.

This is a pivotal moment to join - we’re looking to double the engineering team and enter the most ambitious product phase in Housr’s history.

As a Full Stack Engineer, you’ll be a core contributor as we scale our platform, launch new revenue streams, and deepen the value we offer students, parents and partners.

Day to day, you’ll:

• Develop frontend experiences across React, Next.js and React Native (Expo)
• Work within an AWS environment (EC2, AppRunner, CodePipeline, S3, RDS)
• Collaborate closely with internal Product and Design teams - with clear ownership, strong feedback loops, and real influence on decisions
• Contribute to a clean, modular codebase with a MySQL database at its core
• Review code, share knowledge, and help shape best practices across the team
• Use AI tools in your development workflow (we actively encourage it) while applying sound engineering judgement and QA

Work is planned collaboratively by Product and Engineering, ensuring the team is aligned, focused, and shipping meaningful improvements every sprint.
