Overview

At Oviva, we’re on a mission to make sustainable, personalized, clinically effective care accessible to everyone and to deliver against our vision of becoming Europe’s leading AI-powered chronic care platform.

Our digital programmes support people living with weight related illnesses. While weight loss is a goal for many, our approach is about so much more: improving health, building confidence, and enhancing quality of life.

We’ve already supported over one million people across the UK, Switzerland, Germany, and Poland – and we’re just getting started. Every conversation, coaching session, and line of code brings us closer to a healthier future. Join us, and be part of the team making that future possible.

• Familiarity with modern Apple frameworks (SwiftUI, Combine, UIKit, iOS SDK).
• Comfortable navigating the full app lifecycle – from product discovery to App Store release.
• Strong communication skills, able to collaborate effectively across technical and business stakeholders.
• You lead with humility and foster a supportive, inclusive engineering culture.
• Enthusiastic about the application of AI and new tech in healthcare.
• Interest in writing higher-order tests (integration, UI, end-to-end).

Job responsibilities

As a part of the team, you would:

• Design, build, and maintain key features in our iOS apps using Swift and modern frameworks like SwiftUI, Combine, and Concurrency.
• Translate product requirements into well-engineered, scalable, and secure solutions.

• Collaborate across disciplines to ensure an intuitive and robust patient experience.
• Investigate and resolve bugs, conducting root cause analyses to prevent recurrence.

• Flexible, hybrid working and home office support.
• Ongoing learning with a personal development budget and growth opportunities.
• Competitive salary and company pension to support your future.
