Android Developer
REDspace is a custom software development company. We build cutting-edge streaming platforms and user experiences that are transforming the media amp; entertainment industry for clients such as WarnerMedia, Paramount, Sony, and IBM. Leveraging our extensive, world-class experience, we help transform other industries by integrating existing systems with consumer media innovations and emerging technologies such as video, voice, mobile, machine learning, and gaming tech.
What did we do before Google? How did we know what time stores closed, how to convert miles into kilometers, or what other movies that actor was in? As an Android Developer, you recognized that a world without Google is not one you want to live in and, as a result, have devoted your career getting to know the ins and outs of its operating systems.
At REDspace, you will become part of a team that works on complex and cutting edge apps, games, and other cool projects for the world’s leading media and entertainment brands. You’re the first to know about new trends or tools and always looking for the next challenge to tackle.
You’ll be part of a mighty and quickly growing team of designers, animators, and developers. Together, we are inventing innovative, captivating interactive experiences and changing the way people engage with technology (while having fun along the way, of course). Want to join our team?
