Your Role at MediaLab
MediaLab Engineering supports a growing number of applications across multiple business verticals under the MediaLab umbrella.
The Engineering team is incredibly talented and includes talented individuals who have experience working in large scale systems. If you've designed complex scalable systems, built powerful and intuitive user interfaces, or worked with great teams on hard problems in consumer products, this is the place for you.
The Kik tech stack revolves around Java + Javascript, so we require some experience with those languages.

We want people who are passionate and care deeply about the success of the whole company.
We are looking for a savvy full-stack engineer to help continue to iterate on a variety of projects on our Kik application. These projects will require a hands-on, roll up your sleeves mentality and vary in percent of time focused on front versus back-end development. Day to day will focus on maintaining, implementing, expanding exciting features as well as activities associated with other areas such as database and architecture design.
