We’re looking for bright Android Pioneers to join our team. 

An Android Pioneer is an android full stack developer with passionate about technology running through its veins. If you are afraid to learn new frameworks, extend your skills and working methods, please don’t apply.   

If you love a challenge, are passionate about technology and are full of spark, energy and ambition, this could be the dream role for you. Naturally, all the usual stuff applies. Apart from excellent technical skills, you’ll be a ->
