  • You get to work on everything in the product.
  • You get to write your tests first.
  • You get to work with lots of different technologies (iOS, Java, Flash, C++, ObjectiveC, SQL and more).
  • And, most importantly, you get to have fun while creating a great service that you (and your mom) would use!

The Smilebox dev team is an agile development team. Every developer is well-rounded, works in all areas of the Smilebox codebase, and does so in a cohesive pair-programming environment.
