Company Description

Company Description

Depop is the community-powered circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell and discover desirable secondhand fashion. With a community of over 35 million users, Depop is on a mission to make fashion circular, redefining fashion consumption. Founded in 2011, the company is headquartered in London, with offices in New York and Manchester, and in 2021 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ebay. Find out more at www.depop.com.

Our mission is to make fashion circular and to create an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, no matter who they are or where they're from. Just as our platform connects people globally, we believe our workplace should reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. We thrive on the power of different perspectives and experiences, knowing they drive innovation and bring us closer to our users. We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer, providing employment opportunities without regard to age, ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy or maternity, marriage and civil partnership, or any other protected status. We're continuously evolving our recruitment processes to ensure fairness and are open to accommodating any needs you might have.

Role

Depop is the resale destination for the next generation. We connect millions of buyers and sellers across 150+ countries, making it easy to buy and sell secondhand fashion. Our ambition is bold: 5x GMV growth by 2030, and payments is one of the most powerful levers to get there.

We're hiring an iOS Engineer to join our Payments team. You'll work in a small, multidisciplinary team responsible for the flows that determine whether sellers get paid, whether buyers can check out in new markets, and whether Depop meets its regulatory obligations as we scale globally.

Why this role is interesting

Depop is a dual-sided marketplace that holds money. That means you're not just building a checkout. You'll work across wallet balances, re-spend, withdrawals, refunds, seller onboarding, and tax capture, each with different rules per market. You'll be working on how these payment flows are expressed in a codebase that's actively migrating from UIKit to SwiftUI, contributing to that migration for payments surfaces alongside the wider team, including senior engineers.

It's also a good place to grow. Payments is a domain where correctness matters, so you'll build habits around testing, edge cases and failure modes, with senior engineers alongside you to learn from.

What we're looking for

• Solid commercial Swift experience. You understand memory management, concurrency (async/await, actors), and can reason about state in complex flows
• Experience with SwiftUI in production, or UIKit experience with a clear understanding of how to migrate incrementally
• Comfort with MVVM-C or similar coordination patterns
• An instinct for correctness over speed, and the testing habits to back it up: you write automated tests and think about edge cases before someone asks you to
• Ability to own a feature end to end: breaking it down, driving it forward, flagging risks early, and knowing when to ask for help
• Ability to work across disciplines, as you'll partner closely with backend engineers, product, and design, and need to hold your own in conversations

Nice to have

• Experience with payment SDKs (Stripe, PayPal, or similar)
• Experience in marketplace or fintech environments
• Familiarity with modularised iOS codebases and build-time optimisation
• Experience working on flows where correctness matters more than speed: payments, identity, auth, or similar domains where bugs cost real money or trust
• Experience with modern mobile CI/CD (Bitrise, GitHub Actions, merge queue workflows) and with Swift Testing or XCTest
