As the company grows we have evolving requirements and needs for our mobile apps, FAIRTIQ and FTQ Lab.

Our goal is to provide the best post-price ticketing user experience and grow our user base. Providing a good user experience is a challenge that requires a lot of thought and understanding of our users.

You will work with designers and engineers to find ways of improving our apps and create a delightful user experience. FAIRTIQ has a growing user base of 1.5M+ active users every month, so you will have to think about scalability, caching, internationalisation, accessibility, phased roll-outs and resilience.

• Implementing an Activity Feed
• Implementing a Timetable using Compose Multiplatform
• Integrating a new Design System, together with other mobile squads
• Adding support for multiple payments service providers
• Modernising our authentication methods with Social Logins
• Implementing new features in Compose UI and planning migration from classic views.
• Implementing screens with accessibility in mind, keeping our certification up to date
• Adapting our Spring Boot backend to cater for new app needs
• Reducing tech debt in our codebase by removing support for older Android versions and taking advantage of improvement opportunities this provides.
