Are you an iOS dev that actually knows how to program? Do you worry about what that function you just wrote will do to battery life? Do you know how to test for that? We want to hear from you.
The mobile team is looking for an iOS Development Lead to drive the iOS Client team. We are building a comprehensive new mobile SDK, new branded INRIX experiences, and helping our partners leverage our SDK into their experiences. We have a great team in place, and now we are looking for an iOS Dev Lead to take it up a notch.
You'll be working with a great team of devs producing a world-class native app. If you're excited by the prospect of making a real investment in mobile, then we should talk.
On the Mobile team at INRIX, we value open discussion, heavy pushback, and management by objective and prioritization. You will be working closely with our Android and Cloud teams, and you will work with our designers every day.
So, what do we build on the mobile team?
We build a branded mobile app called INRIX Traffic and we build SDK’s which hundreds of partners use to build traffic and routing scenarios into a swath of different hardware solutions.
How do we plan and build software on the mobile team?
It’s full scrum and agile. That means weekly sprint planning points, poker planning, retrospective, backlogs, stories -- the full solution. We work together as a small team and family, 100% scrum based, and as little process as possible. If you love fast paced development or planning, or you want to learn this skill, the INRIX Mobile team is the place to be. If you want to ship real experiences, you want to point at something and say “I did that”, and you want to work with customers at scale, INRIX is the place for you.
Must Haves:
- Customer focus — Our job at the end of the day is to delight customers through technology, you need to be 100% customer focused.
- Experience — At least 4 years as a IC developer, and 2 years leading a team showing experience in software development, architecture and design, passion for shipping products, leadership, planning.
- Leadership - You should feel comfortable settings the standards and pace of a team of talented developers and testers.
- Objective-C - No, not just calling other people's library functions. Objective-C. If you can't make the platform dance for you, keep looking. Seriously.
- Passion for detail - You should be able to tell the difference between packet loss and a DNS error. You should be able to monitor the packet flow of your app and continuously improve upon it. You should be able to track battery use and improve it. You should be able to translate requirements and mock-ups into fully functioning features.
- Computer Science - You should know the basics of algorithm design/selection and be able to defend your choices. You should also know the implications on mobile of your decisions (load time, battery use, limited storage, etc…)
