Senior iOS Developer in San Francisco

Fri, 17 May 2013 12:45:18 GMT

Were you chomping at the bit to build iOS applications the moment Apple told you it was possible? Were you all ready to do it even before they told you it was possible? Have you spent far too many hours entranced with Xcode, the iPhone simulator, and seeing just how wonderful you could make the user experience? Can you spend hours on end complaining about details of obscure iOS APIs that you think would be so much better if they’d just...?

You might just be what we’re looking for at CouchSurfing. CouchSurfing is all about travel, and travel means...mobile! We have an iPhone application in development that will be launching very soon, and we’re looking to add a third person to our team with strong and deep iOS expertise. Thankfully, this isn’t because we’ve built a mess of an application or are in dire straits; rather, it’s because we have grand ambitions for everything that CouchSurfing can be on a mobile device, and we want you to be part of the rocket fuel that takes us there!

Depending on your experience, this can be a position as an individual contributor or a technical lead

Did you fire up a Java IDE the very moment Android hit the market — ready to start creating amazing apps? Have you spent far too many hours delving into details of Android on all kinds of devices, figuring out how to build apps that are beautiful, elegant, and work well for all your users? Have you reverse-engineered one (or several) Android APIs, figuring out how to do things that weren’t documented because, well, it was the right thing for the app to do? Can you rhapsodize at length on the right internal architecture for an Android app of a particular sort?
