WHAT WE WANT YOU TO DO:

·       Play a key role in improving the design and the quality of our portfolio of mobile applications.

·       Drive technical initiatives, mentor team members, ensure successful project executions and help grow the team in a sustainable fashion.

·       Help us grow our platform with clever, long-lasting solutions that serve to advance our business.

·       Develop an understanding of our products working from requirements, architecting the system, implementing native components, integrating RESTful services, tracking user interaction and shipping production ready code…and we want you to have fun while doing it.

·       Bring us what no one else has – a fresh perspective that sets you apart from the pack.

WHY THIS SUITS YOU:

·       Because you scored a BS in Computer Science, Digital Media or similar technical degree with 3+ years developing mobile applications of 8+ years overall experience developing and shipping software.

·       Folks you worked with at previous jobs recognize you as an expert, reference and mentor.

·       You know the ins and outs of developing, shipping and maintaining high-quality mobile applications.

·       You can write well-abstracted, reusable and efficient code and correctly employ object-oriented design patterns.

·       Programming in Objective-C, Java, HTML, JavaScript and CSS is second nature to you and you have more than good acquaintances with the iOS and Android SDKs.

WHAT GETS US EXCITED:

·       You have apps on app stores, a portfolio or a blog, and can share a link with us.

·       You may have chosen one platform as your personal primary, but you can find your way to delivering on both Android and iOS. You may even have cracked the code on cross-platform programming.

·       Test-driven development is something you’ve experienced first-hand and know how to best employ it.

·       Numbers are your thing. You’re familiar with Analytics systems and know how to pull the figures we need.

HERE’S WHY WE KNOW YOU’LL LIKE US (AND NOT JUST ON FACEBOOK):

·       We are new team and are tasked with the challenge of giving many of our successful brands a respectable mobile presence.

·       Our strategy includes developing a groundbreaking infrastructure for our mobile applications, including iOS and Android libraries as well as back-end APIs.
