Learning Tapestry: Senior Mobile iOS / Android Developer

What We Are Looking For
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with strong experience in iOS development, and either experience in or openness to learning React Native. A bonus would be basic maintenance skills in Android as well.

Your job would involve several engineering projects. We maintain a mobile app for one of our clients and you would be the lead engineer managing all aspects of feature development, bug fixing, performance optimization, reliability engineering and similar activities for the iOS mobile application. In addition, Learning Tapestry is developing an internal product relying on React Native. We would need help with basic bug fixes, code updates/maintenance, and minor features, in the short term. Over time, we hope the application is successful commercially, and you would be able to add more substantial features to meet customer demand. We also might need help in maintenance of an Android app, but this is more of an optional task.
