What We Are Looking For
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with strong experience in iOS development, and either experience in or openness to learning React Native. A bonus would be basic maintenance skills in Android as well.
Your job would involve several engineering projects. We maintain a mobile app for one of our clients and you would be the lead engineer managing all aspects of feature development, bug fixing, performance optimization, reliability engineering and similar activities for the iOS mobile application. In addition, Learning Tapestry is developing an internal product relying on React Native. We would need help with basic bug fixes, code updates/maintenance, and minor features, in the short term. Over time, we hope the application is successful commercially, and you would be able to add more substantial features to meet customer demand. We also might need help in maintenance of an Android app, but this is more of an optional task.
A qualified candidate should have:
- Computer Science or Engineering degree (or other STEM degree, or an exceptional professional Software Engineer experience that is equivalent to such a degree)
- At least six years of Software Engineering experience
- Skills to write clean, self-explanatory code using S.O.L.I.D. and design patterns
- Ability to design new architectures and implement them in software
- Ability to communicate effectively in written and spoken English
- Ability to document your work in writing, suitable for other engineers to rely on it
- Ability to support and collaborate with other engineers, whether more junior or at your level
- Ability to work independently and efficiently
- Ability to collaborate with product managers and other non-technical staff to develop solutions
- Understand and apply TDD and similar approaches where appropriate
- Production mobile app debugging and optimization experience
- Experience in iOS development
- Experience in React Native, or a willingness and ability to learn this framework
- Experience in Android development, or a willingness to learn the basics (optional)
- Ability to make small changes to API layer backend technology, whether Node, Ruby, Python, etc. (bonus)
Must have availability that overlaps with our clients at least 4 hours/day in New York (UTC -5) and at least 1 hour/day in California (UTC -8) working approximately 30-40 hours per week.
