Tabby builds financial products used by millions of users across the GCC. Our mobile applications are core to the business and operate under strict requirements for reliability, security, and user experience.
This internship is not educational by default. It is an engineering role with real responsibility.
ContextiOS engineers at Tabby work on large-scale consumer applications with complex user flows and high expectations for performance and stability. This includes building new features, evolving existing functionality, and keeping the codebase maintainable over time.
The internship is designed for strong early-career engineers. Interns are embedded into real iOS teams, work on production code, and are expected to meet engineering standards from day one.
Key Responsibilities
This is not a helper role. Interns work on real production tasks under senior review.
- Develop and maintain iOS application features using Swift
- Implement new screens and user flows in production code
- Participate in redesigning and simplifying existing features
- Work with both UIKit and SwiftUI where applicable
- Read and understand existing application architecture and design decisions
- Fix real bugs and improve existing functionality
- Participate in code reviews and technical discussions
- Contribute to code quality, stability, and long-term maintainability
