What You’ll Need:

  • A deep understanding of Swift (iOS), and at least 7+ years of professional mobile development experience on publicly available apps supported by RESTful web services.
  • 2+ years leading teams in a senior capacity (tech lead, architect) and an eagerness to share your expertise with others, but the humility to know you can always learn something new.
