Skills:

Hybrid mobile development is a strategy that takes the best capabilities of mobile phones and combines it with the rapid development and deployment of web based applications through mobile frameworks that bridge or emulate web languages on mobile operating systems. A mobile hybrid developer will have experience with mobile user interfaces via a native development environment and also with hybrid development environments.
Hybrid Mobile Development• Ideal candidate has production experience using hybrid mobile development platforms such as NativeScript, ReactNative, Xamarin, PhoneGap, Cordova, etc)

• Our team is using NativeScript but it's new enough that we won't expect a lot of developers to have extensive experience using it.

Native Development• Ideal candidate has production experience using native mobile development platforms such as iOS (Xcode), Android (Android Studio)

• Ideal candidate will have written significant solutions with the language specific to the mobile platform (Swift, Java, etc)

• Our team is developing use hybrid mobile technologies but it's still necessary to get in and look at native code or write new plugins for NativeScript in a native language.

• It's also important for developers to have experience dealing with the subtleties of mobile devices such as their occasionally connected, responsive layout, and power saving features as well as common ways of working with specific platforms (i.e. CoreData, SQLite, etc).

TypeScript• Ideal candidate has some experience using TypeScript

• TypeScript is the core language of NativeScript and the preferred language of Angular (which NativeScript uses by default as it's rendering engine)

• JavaScript is a suitable alternative but the candidate should be willing to prove they can re-skill to TypeScript from JavaScript as needed for the project

Consuming RESTful API's
• Ideal candidate has extensively worked with public RESTful interfaces and can describe the tenets of REST, compare REST to SOAP, and describe REST best practices

Security
• Ideal candidate has experience working with PII and PHI information on mobile devices and knows how to protect such information in transit to the device and at rest on the device

GIT• Ideal candidate has performed primary product development with GIT based source control solutions (Github, Gitlab, etc)

• Ideal candidate should understand concepts such as rebasing, squashing, cherry picking, and tagging.

Education:
Bachelors degree in Computer Science or Software engineering, or at least three or more years of work in mobile application development and internal or external product delivery.
Other helpful skills / experience:
Test Automation Tools• Ideal candidate has worked with Functional and Unit test based frameworks to develop automated tests (Mocha, Jasmine, Cucumber, etc)

Continuous Integration (CI) / Continuous Deployments (CD)• Ideal candidate has worked on projects with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, Bamboo, Gitlab-CI, etc)

Container Technologies• Ideal candidate has worked on projects with container based solutions (Docker, CoreOS, etc)

Angular 2+• NativeScript uses Angular 2 as it's native rendering engine so developers who have experience with Angular will find it much simpler to use

Reactive Programming• Our team uses Reactive Programming techniques in our mobile application and candidates would do well to familiarize themselves or have experience with Reactive Programming Techniques

Functional Programming• Our team likes to use the Functional Programming support released recently in TypeScript 2.0 and wherever we can. A candidate should be willing to learn functional programming paradigms or have previous experience with functional programming languages.
