MeetMe - New Hope, PA

We're a leader in social discovery, just raised a bunch of additional capital: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/meetme-prices-10-million-publi...

and hit a big milestone in daily user numbers: http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/news/2014/07/30/meet...

I'm a Sr. Android dev here, and while I was initially skeptical based on the website, I was quickly convinced that this is a fantastic place to work, grow, and see your ideas valued.

We're always looking for Android and iOS devs who know their stuff and stay current. Our respective mobile teams have 7 members apiece, and we have about a 1:1 QA to dev ratio. Our structure is pretty flat, so while we do have Product, Design, database, etc teams, developers who are comfortable batting ideas around flourish here.

The core MeetMe app is our bread and butter, but we also do hackathons and build experimental apps to test the marketplace waters. Salary is top-notch for the northeast. Very chill office environment, free gym membership, bring your dog in, stocked kitchen, that kind of deal.And New Hope is a fantastic town for afternoon walks and Starbucks runs.
