What is HeyOrca?

 

As a developer, you have probably worked on some contracts and projects at some point in your life: setting up a website, developing software, consulting, ... . The success of the project relies on effective communication between you, your team and the stakeholders of the project by defining goals, deliverables, collaborating on work and communicating the results. Marketing agencies work similarly: they help tens and hundreds of clients with their marketing strategy and content; all with different expectations, deadlines and deliverables. HeyOrca is a web based tool to make sense of this chaos: bringing the marketing team and their clients together in one place to communicate, create and deliver. Think of it like github for marketing agencies.

 

The superhero

We recently released a simple mobile application that complements our web application with some extra functionality, think of it like the superhero's side-kick. The app has been very successful with our customers, but we have bigger ambitions for it. This is where you come in:

We are looking for a mobile developer who can turn the mobile app from side-kick to superhero and make it a core offering of HeyOrca. To do so, you will be extending this app while slowly building a dedicated mobile app team to support its growth.

What you'll do

Responsibilities

Initially, you responsibilities revolve around improving the app:

  • Communication with the product management team to identify and create new features
  • Communication with the customer support team to identify and resolve issues
  • Communicating required back-end work with the web development team
  • Working within Scrum to manage and release new work
  • Quality assurance
  • Managing store listing and releases

As the app grows and requires more attention, you will be working on laying the foundation of building a team by the end of 2017, while still being involved in the development:

  • Managing sprints and becoming the SCRUM master for the mobile application
  • Helping the product team in defining the mobile app roadmap
  • Helping with hiring new mobile developer(s)
  • Onboarding new members
  • Collaborating as a team on the mobile app

What you'll need

Qualifications

As a qualified applicant, you

  • Have experience with building and releasing an actual mobile app to the store.
  • Are familiar with react-native.
  • Love what you do.
  • Have a computer science degree or similar education or work experience.
  • Have the ambition and skills to lead a team.
  • Live in Newfoundland or are open to moving to St. John's, NL.
