Join PEAK6 as a Senior Mobile Developer, and see your work in action, immediately. Our team is working on a new cutting-edge initiative that will help infuse robust analytical capabilities into daily work operations such as performance management and communication/collaboration tools. Through this consumer driven and employee first business venture, we will help create better data transparency and visualizations for individuals.
What you’ll do all day:
- Make an impact. At PEAK6, the work you do will help in tangible ways. You’ll create mobile applications that enable the organization to work smarter and faster, while broadening our impact on how people use data.
- Collaborate. The floor is always open for great ideas. We love to collaborate, share ideas and get different perspectives. You’ll work with smart people who value smart ideas and strong opinions.
- Work in a fast-paced environment. You’ll work tirelessly with your teammates to achieve timely deliverables with high performance, scalability, and reliability of service. You’ll juggle frameworks, hand-code without them, all in our dynamic, multi-tasking environment.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Is self-directed. You’re driven, motivated, and eager to succeed.
- Has an insatiable curiosity. You love solving problems and learning new things. You’re resourceful, inquisitive, and proactive in gaining knowledge.
- Is flexible. You’re comfortable trying new things, and you think there’s no such thing as one right way
- Is resourceful. You’re scrappy and will do what it takes to achieve results. You understand that calculated risk is necessary in making meaningful changes, and impact how you operate.

- Your success will be recognized and appreciated. You’ll be able to see your direct impact on our growth. You won’t be just another cog in the wheel.
- The work environment is amazing. Our office space is really cool, open, and sleek. We provide free beverages, snacks and have fun while working hard.
And a few reasons why you may not love us:
- You don’t like change. This is not a job for someone who likes ‘predictable’. Our new business initiative demands flexible thinking and working in a fast paced and adaptable environment.
- You’re not the collaborative type. We’re solving pretty heady challenges. We bring ideas to the table and we work together to solve these challenges. If you’re looking to hide out and do your own thing, this might not be the right spot.

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience (i.e building mobile apps for a few years).
- 3+ years in developing multiple mobile applications, ideally in both android and iOS.
- Solid experience with front-end technologies and frameworks.
