About the Mobile team

You'll be working on the iterative improvements we make as part of our high-speed release cycles, as well as looking ahead and conceptualizing broader changes our mobile app offers across all major platforms. You'll work with developers, product owners, copywriters and user researchers to conceive, analyse & test your ideas.
