ForeFlight is looking for an iOS developer to join our team. This position is for a unique and technically well-rounded individual with experience building and shipping iOS apps. This person will help us create the next generation of ForeFlight Mobile on the iPad and iPhone.

Technically, this person is experienced in Objective-C and Cocoa development, with a track record of shipping exquisitely-designed apps. This person has a solid understanding of UIKit, database design with SQLite/Core Data, communicating with web services, and memory management with and without ARC. This person can hit the ground running on current iOS technologies, writing rock-solid code with blocks, GCD, Swift, and Auto Layout.
