We are looking for an individual that is resourceful and self-driven, that loves learning and sharing their findings. The perfect candidate would have:

• 3 years of experience in software development
• Built a native app with Swift (or Objective-C) and published it on the Apple App Store
• A diploma in software engineering or computer science (or any equivalent combination of experience and education)
• Proficiency in both English and French
• Experience in Agile environment and with git
• Experience with third-party libraries and dependencies (CocoaPods)
• Familiarity with automated tests and continuous integration
• Even if you are not 100% qualified for the position, we’d love to hear from you, apply anyway! You could be the right person for the job.

We believe in taking chances, making mistakes, and learning from them. Your team mates will have your back. We want to give our teams the best chances to succeed: our developers are equipped with new Macbook Pros and are sent to conferences yearly.

So what’s it like working at ADS?

At ADS, we promote a healthy work-life balance and put people first. Our office is located minutes walk away from De La Savane metro station and we offer free first-come-first-served parking to all employees.
