Job Description

Where We’re Coming From

The open road. That’s what it’s all about. Driving down long stretches of asphalt, pulling over at a local diner for some grub, and discovering the most incredible roadside wonders.

Co-founders James Fisher and Tatiana Parent suffer from an incurable case of wanderlust. So, they decided to design a web and mobile platform that streamlines discovery, planning, booking and navigation into one engaging road trip planner.

Powered by a fleet of local experts and travel writers, Roadtrippers features a seemingly infinite database of amazing places (actually 75,000+ to be slightly more exact). We do the hard part, so you can have the adventure of a lifetime. At its core, Roadtrippers aims to inspire and promote awareness for local, offbeat and culturally stimulating experiences. After all, as Emerson’s taught us, it’s all about the journey.

Roadtrippers is a fast growing, venture funded startup based in OTR, Cincinnati.Learn more at Roadtrippers.com.

 

The Journey

Roadtrippers began as web application but mobile has always been on our mind.  It’s all about getting out there and onto the open road.  But you know that!  Roadtrippers’ iOS mobile team is responsible for compressing the 13” desktop experience into 4” and simplifying it at the same time.  It’s no small feat, but someone has to do it.   As an iOS Developer you will create core features and make Roadtrippers the top Travel and Tourism app.

Points of Interest

Success as an iOS Developer at Roadtrippers means you can take mockups and UI diagrams and make them work.  You understand the importance of speed and simplicity in a mobile app and appreciate the operating system and hardware bestowed upon us from One Infinite Loop.  Some call you an Apple fanboy, maybe you prefer enthusiast — either way there’s some truth to it.  We won’t care.  We’ll call you whichever you prefer.
