We are looking for a highly motivated JavaScript developer to join our growing Mobile development team. You will be responsible for building the next generation Kinvey SDK for JavaScript developers. This includes designing and developing a client-side API, implementing sophisticated logic to optimize mobile data transfers, and building generic offline capabilities to accommodate diverse application requirements. If you love JavaScript, HTML5, and client-side apps, and are passionate about mobile, we want to hear from you!

At Kinvey, we are building a platform that makes it possible for mobile developers to never have to worry about building and operating a backend. Our customers are engineers like you. They choose our platform because they want to focus on what matters most – the User Experience – and they leave the backend to us.

You love challenges: Building generic APIs to accommodate the needs of any mobile application is hard. ORMs, abstractions, and device to cloud optimizations genuinely excite you.

You’re a team player: You are opinionated yet thrive in a collaborative environment; you bring your ideas and an open mind, not your ego, to brainstorming sessions. You enjoy providing technical advice to others.

You’re a good communicator: Whether it is in email, chat, voice, tickets, code comments, commit messages, or in person, you communicate well with other people.
