The mobile app may not take up 100% of your time so you will also be asked to work on our web version of the app with c#, asp.net MVC, web API, SQL server, Jquery, Knockout JS. You do not need to be an expert at these technologies as we can help you learn them as you go.

The main product you will be working on is our own product but from time to time you will also have the opportunity to work on other products through our consulting business.
