Mobile Apps Release Engineer

Job Summary:

Technology has changed daily life in a way no one could have imagined. It’s made us more productive, capable, and connected. Capable but paralyzed by too many choices. Connected, but only if social media counts. Living this way creates a void in our daily lives. Our team is committed to alleviating the mental load that our modern world has created by putting human connection back into technology and caretaking at the heart of everything we create.

About Yohana:
