Senior Android Engineer

Our client is an award-winning team of designers, engineers, and product innovators. They like to play in the dark and aren’t afraid of the unknown, especially when it comes to building new products and businesses!

They are constantly working on new products to solve gaps that they see in the market and are always looking for others with the same passion.

In addition to their own products, they also work with global brands to help build net-new digital products using the same methodology. They’ve built class-leading products with major brands across sports, automotive, healthcare, fitness, insurance, media, and games.

Their headquarters are in Irvine, CA but they also have a vibrant center of operations in Toronto, ON. They also have team members scattered throughout the world working with us remotely, so location is never a limiting factor when it comes to talent
