Animal Help Now (AHNow) is seeking an Objective C developer to add new features and improve existing features and functionality in the Animal Help Now (AHNow) app. The AHNow app is available in the Apple App Store. It connects people who need help with a wildlife emergency or "nuisance" wildlife issue with experts who can provide such help. For more information, see www.AHNow.org.
Animal Help Now (AHNow) is looking for an Objective-C developer to periodically enhance and refine our stable and well-maintained app. This role involves adding new features and improving existing functionality as needed.

This position requires 2-4 hours per week and a minimum time commitment of six months. It involves working closely with our mostly volunteer tech team, which consists of developers, technology experts, a UI/UX expert, a QA team, and the organization’s executive director. The team occasionally meets online (via Zoom) for 30-60 minutes.
Minimum Qualifications:
- At least two years of iOS development experience using ObjC
- Experience leading development teams
- Experience with native iOS app development and REST
- GIT repository experience (GitHub)
- Experience with UIUX
- Backend experience
- Employed full time or retired

Description
Animal Help Now (AHNow) creates apps that help animals. The org’s eponymous app provides a 911-type service for wildlife emergencies & conflicts. Each year in the U.S. billions of birds and other wild animals are killed or injured by cats & dogs, window strikes, etc. and hundreds of millions of animals are injured or killed by motor vehicles. This free app directs people who have encountered injured or distressed wildlife or are dealing with "nuisance" wildlife to the nearest, most appropriate help, 24/7. The first nationwide response system for wildlife emergencies, it provides instant access to more than 3700 wildlife helpers across the United States, including rehabilitators, rescues & hotlines, veterinarians who treat wildlife & others. AHNow provides expert guidance on how to handle domestic animal issues (lost, found, abuse, etc.).
In 2022, in the aftermath of the Marshall Fire (12/30/2021), which claimed an estimated 1,000 companion animal lives and destroyed Animal Help Now’s headquarters, the organization began development of a new app that people can use to quickly and effectively communicate with their neighbors when disasters threaten and strike. The app provides a dedicated communications channel specifically for pet rescue so people who are not home or who otherwise need help evacuating animals can quickly and easily request such help. PHaR gives pets and other dependent animals their best chance ever of surviving when disasters strike.
