WHY DEPT?

We are pioneers at heart. What this means, is that we are always leaning forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We were born digital and we are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing. That’s why we hire curious, self-driven, talented people who never stop innovating.

Our culture is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Meaning, that with people across 20+ countries, we’re big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits that help you thrive. While acting small by investing in you, your growth, your team, and giving you the autonomy to solve our clients' problems, no matter where you are in the world.

• You’ll develop using Kotlin and possibly some Java, Flutter, or React Native
• You’ll be a part of agile software development practices and peer/code reviews
• You’ll interface with clients. We estimate about 80% hands-on development and 20% client interaction and documentation
• You’ll help shape and develop best practices, innovation, and community involvement for the Android team
