Our team & you
To continue to change and improve the lives of our 235+ million customers, we’re building a world-class, product-first organization and aggressively scaling the team. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to be part of something big and transformative, someone who will play a critical role in driving our success.
The Role
Within 30 days, you’ll…
- Meet your Lead in London and visit Amsterdam to learn about our architecture, style guidelines, best practices and build systems.
- Take a leading role in the team in London and help with recruitment of all remaining open positions.
- Become personally part of a Scrum team working on the end-to-end development of a single feature set within the Veon app. Our Scrum teams are self-contained, comprising a product owner, scrum master, embedded QA, designer and backend and mobile developers.
- Actively participate in our Agile rituals, discussing our development process and helping suggest improvements or alternatives.
Within 60 days, you’ll…
- Learn the skills of your Scrum team and the other members of the iOS development team and share whatever unique experience or knowledge might be of value to ongoing efforts.
- Become an expert in your feature domain and help the PO and SM drive improvements in the product. Be the owner of the iOS implementation of the feature and communicate key issues or successes with your Lead and peers.

- Help in paying off the project’s technical debt, through refactoring, rearchitecting and debugging.
