Mobile Engineer - International Corporate Contractor

****This position is an independent corporate contract role, and the candidate must be located outside the United States

Mobile Engineer

We all speak different languages, and languages come in many forms. That language could be Mandarin or English, Python or Ruby. Languages offer unique views of the world, but can also create barriers in communication. At GLOBO, our collective, unique skills allow us to bridge the divide and enable communication, helping change the lives of some of the most vulnerable in our society.

• VP of Engineering

About the Role:

As the Mobile Engineer with GLOBO, you’ll help drive innovation at our fastest-growing entry point into our services, our mobile applications. You will play a strategic role in developing a product that is revolutionizing the delivery of language services and omnichannel communication while keeping you connected to the development work you love. Working with and reporting to our Director of Engineering, you’ll be responsible for the continued development of our growing portfolio of iOS and Android applications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop new features and improve upon existing features.
• Diagnose and resolve bugs to ensure our clients and staff have the best error-free experience possible

You have experience with (and love for) both iOS and Android applications and have deployed and managed both in production. You understand that stability and security are just as important as features. You’re confident working independently and enjoy working collaboratively to build and support truly useful products. You utilize sound engineering practices, including unit and integration testing, code reviews, and more.
