Skills:

You must be able to deliver high quality code on time, with detailed comments, and unit testing where appropriate. You are comfortable with configuration control tools such as Git, and object orientation and design patterns. You always consider the performance limitations of battery life, CPU and memory availability to implement robust and efficient solutions. Integration with web services and consuming XML or JSON is second nature to you, and you can parse data into objects and manipulate it with ease. You are comfortable writing and debugging multi-threaded code.
