- Your role plays a huge impact. We involve engineers early on, from project estimations to technical roadmaps. We make sure you’re in the loop and have a voice at every turn.
- You’ll help us innovate and drive improvements to our existing products from feature development to client customization to code refactoring / improvement
- We don’t micromanage. You’re a smart cookie and we trust you to do the job at your fullest.

- Experience with more than one Android architecture pattern: MVC, MVP, MVVM
- General engineering experience, such as building web services, working with APIs, and accessing a variety of data storages is a plus
- Ideally, experience in shipping Android apps in the past that are available on the Google Play Store
