Mobile Developer with Android Experience (Wearable IoT)

Amusements parks and Zoos are meant to be fun, not stressful! We launched TraKid in 2019 to keep parents connected to their kids, no matter where they are in the park. Now we need your help. TraKid is a start-up tech company based out of Raleigh, NC. We have invented (and patented) a great solution to a surprisingly common problem - an average of 50 kids per day are separated from their parents in 400 of the largest amusement parks across the world. We think our wearable and a simple mobile app (for parents and for the park) is an easy fix!

You will join the mobile development team to deliver this novel solution to parks everywhere. We have an existing application that we love and we are ready for you to take it to the next level. We want you to help us make our entire solution smarter, faster, more engaging, and of course - more fun! Our customers expect reliable, scalable, compliant solutions. They use this app to keep track of their kids after all! You will be their voice and will help make critical decisions as we continue to build and improve our solution.
