The team occasionally meets online (via Zoom) for 30-60 minutes.

    Minimum Qualifications:

    • At least two years of iOS development experience using ObjC
    • Experience leading development teams
    • Experience with native iOS app development and REST
    • GIT repository experience (GitHub)
    • Experience with UIUX
    • Backend experience
    • Employed full time or retired
    • Possess an iPhone running the latest iOS because some of the app's features can't be tested in a simulator
