Senior Android Engineer | AI-Centric Social Platform | London | £90K - 110K

Do you want to work on a social platform of the future? Ever fancied trying your hand in the world of AI? Then this might be for you...

Originally from the US, these guys have just merged with a UK-based company in the same space and are moving their headquarters to London. They've also just finished their series B funding round (£20 million+) so it makes sense that they're on the lookout for the best Android minds in the city to help fulfil their ambitious product road map.

Sound good so far? There's more..

I'm sure you're a little sceptical - how many times have you heard someone spouting their brilliant idea for the new Twitter or Instagram?

The difference with this lot is they have the figures and traction to back it up: they have over 60 million registered accounts already, and that number is climbing at a mind-blowing rate. To put it in perspective, their app was downloaded more times than WhatsApp last month!

It gets even better:

• Salary up to £110,000
• Flexible working hours
• Remote friendly working environment
• Equity (negotiable)

What are they looking for?

• Android experts
• Outside-the-box thinkers

It would be great if you have Video/Audio Streaming experience or some exposure to AI, although they're not necessary to be successful.

So, what are you waiting for? The apply button is calling your name!

Alternatively, if you prefer a more subtle approach, call me - Jake - on or drop me an email at .
