Does your organization take Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile seriously? We do, join us!
We're solving some interesting problems for a growing list of great partners so we're expanding the team again! The ideal candidate has some iOS experience, but we know most Android devs need to learn these skills, and we’re the best place to learn them. We were remote even before the pandemic, however, the work is fairly collaborative so we have a strong preference for neighboring time zones.
