Job Title:  Senior iOS Developer

Job Description
As a Senior iOS Developer, you will primarily work as a Lead Developer and Technical Team Lead for one of Andela’s off-shore clients.

Your day-to-day might include everything from participating in daily standups with your client to estimating the level of effort of work associated with your (and your team’s) tasks.

In addition to your client work, you will also serve as a mentor and technical resource to Andela developers outside of your team.
