Android Developer

Emerson Croft is seeking an Android Developer to build AI-enabled technologies at a stealth-mode startup.

At this company, you’ll get the best of both worlds: shape a pre-launch app using state-of-the-art tools, at an organization with expertise and confirmed product-market fit. The app is designed to replace unwieldy communication stacks among corporate teams, with a long-term goal of providing the same convenience to the healthcare space.

The team uses the latest tools — React, ES6/7, Gitlab, Docker, Ansible, and Meteor are just a few examples. You’ll also need to be comfortable with Agile development processes. Be prepared to take personal responsibility for projects, and guide them through fast development cycles and rapidly evolving requirements.

You will work remotely, decide your own hours, and find self-fulfillment through results-focused work. Team members spend only 2−3% of their week in meetings — you’ll spend most of your time researching, documenting, coding, and building. All that and no commute, either.

Ever wondered what you could accomplish with two more hours in your day? We’re excited to find out. Apply today.
