When I Work

iOS Developer

Who We’re Looking For

Does taking an existing iOS app and pushing what can be done on the iOS platform sound like a fun challenge? Does striving to find the best and simplest solution, not the most obvious, drive you? Does working with a team that values elegance of design, both in the UI and in the code, resonate with you?  If so, we’d love to talk with you.

You are humble enough to work with other frameworks, technologies, constraints, and people when that's the easiest and/or best thing to do for the user and company.

You don’t mind being the one that looks bad when you deserve it. We all make mistakes sometimes but rather than dwell on them you choose to fix and learn from them then move forward. You care about how your work and attitude affects those around you. If you hurt someone, it hurts you. Everything you do runs through this filter.
