We place a heavy focus on providing a fun and engaging user experience, so we’re looking for somebody who shares our passion for building the best product possible. You’ll work closely with our design team to create one of the most interactive in-venue experiences the world has seen, so having a flare for product design yourself is a big plus.
People who meet us comment on our energy, dedication, and the passion we have for what we’re building. This is an opportunity to join and grow with one of LA’s top engineering teams, so we’re looking for somebody who is proud to bring their own unique vision and excitement to the table.
