Full-Time Job: iOS Engineers, New York, NY (FyndIt)

Job Title: iOS Engineers

Job location: New York, NY

Employer: FyndIt

Employment Type: Full-Time Job

Job Description

As one of FyndIt’s IOS engineers, you’ll be responsible for working with UI designers, designing, and implementing FyndIt’s iPhone and iPad Apps, which will revolutionize the way people find stuff. FyndIt’s IOS apps will make it easy for people to tell other what they’re looking for, and easy for people to find it.

We’re currently going through a re-design of our IOS App, so this will be your chance to get in on the “Ground Floor” of a shiny new app. Better than “Ground Floor” even, because all the server side code is already in place, so you’ll get to focus on building a great user experience.

To do this, you’ll of course need IOS experience, including UI, image capture and editing, client-server operations, location, and notification services. As a plus, you’ll also have experience with the Python, JSON, client-server, and relational databases.

We’d strongly prefer someone who is local to and/or could work in Manhattan, NYC.

Since some of our folks are remote, we need someone who can work in a long-distance team environment while still working independently and responsibly. Ideally, you will have worked with a team to have shipped at least one consumer-facing product in your career, and demonstrated the ability to design, build, and test production quality products.

While we understand that “bugs happen”, we would still count on you check and test your work, understanding that every round trip through QA costs us all time and money.

Since the iPhone/Mobile experience is central to our service, you will need to work closely with our designers and everyone else to implement the best product for connecting people that Want stuff with the people who can find it.

You will know that good User Experience is hard to do, so you’ll have the experience to work through design revisions, user testing, and everything else that goes into building a great product.

Principals only. No agencies or recruiters. Sorry!

iOS Engineers | Requirements:

2+ years IOS experience is a must.
You need to be able to show us at least 2 applications you’re proud to have built or helped build, preferably in the Apple App Store
Experience with the Three20 framework is a plus (our first product was built on Three20. We’re ditching it!)
You’ll need lots of experiences with UITableView or other ways to view, filter, and examine data from our server
Geolocation/Geocoding service experience is a must.
Image handling experience is a must.
Client/Server application programming is central to the FyndIt experience, so you need experience with it.
Experience with Payment systems such as PayPal or Apple payments is very desirable.
Experience with Social network integration is also important, so if you have experience with it, that’s great too!
You need to have experience with Perforce, or other source control tools.
Experience with Cloud computing is very desirable (AWS is ideal).
Experience with Perforce for source control is a plus.

Company Description:

FyndIt was created to help people find things in a smarter way whether they are online or offline.

Looking for that one thing and just can’t find it? Now you can let people around the world know what you’re looking for, AND increase the odds of a great answer by offering a little incentive ($.25, $.50, or more).

Are you that person that can always find things? Do you always know where to find the perfect piece of furniture for that room? Or the perfect fashion suggestion for that outfit? Now you can get rewarded for that.

FyndIt makes it possible. FyndIt connects people who Want stuff with people that can Find it, and increased the odds of getting awesome results by throwing in a little bonus.

Unlike other services, FyndIt’s not just about finding you online shopping sites or retail stores. FyndIt let’s people help you find anything, including used items, antiques, hard-to-find-replacements, or even the vague but important question “I need something that goes with this!”.

FyndIt’s web site and iPhone App, and is getting rave reviews from real testers. With all this positive feedback, we’re building a team to make FyndIt the place to go when you’re trying to find something.

FyndIt was Founded by some of the same folks who built eBay, so we know about Commerce and Connecting people. We’re excited because building FyndIt not only means you’ll be giving people a way to help each other out, you’re giving them a way to get paid for it too.
