IT Help Wanted: [itroundtable] MobileApp Developer

Mobile App Developer

B2B Anywhere creates mobile apps for business users. Our platform includes an online content management system (CMS) that supports native iOS and Android apps. Typically we build apps for manufacturers' product catalogs, photo galleries, and video – the apps call the CMS and download content assets

We are looking for mobile app developers with intermediate to advanced knowledge of iOS and/or Android to work on a project basis. Most projects involve customizing the user-facing, native app for the client's use case and brand. Some projects also require additional custom features or a completely custom app. A typical project requires 50 to 100 hours and the hourly rate is commensurate with experience.

Good communications skills are very important. Client contact will occur periodically and we do a lot of remote communication using phone, web-conference and email. Must be able to work with remote teams; must be able to multi-task.

We are located in the New York City and northern New Jersey area and would ideally like to meet in-person on a weekly basis during a project (evening and weekend OK). Please provide a resume and examples of your app work. Also, be specific about your skills and experience in each platform (iOS and Android). Contact us by email at plofving@b2banywhere.com or by phone at 917-975-7988.
