What is the project, and why should you care?

We are looking for a Junior Mobile Software Engineer Android to join our team working on Vivino.

Who is Vivino?

TRUSTED BY MILLIONS TO DISCOVER AND BUY THE RIGHT WINE EVERY TIME.

Vivino is the world’s largest online wine marketplace and most downloaded wine app, powered by a community of millions. Vivino’s unique wine shopping experience leverages community data to suggest personalized wine recommendations for each user. In addition to making wine discovery fun and effortless, Vivino is the best place for wine drinkers to buy wine. The Vivino app is available for download on Android and Apple devices.

Vivino is a fast-paced, growing start-up with offices in San Francisco, California, and Copenhagen, Denmark. They also have teams worldwide in the UK, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Ireland, Australia, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.

Their teams are passionate about their core purpose – to empower people everywhere to enjoy wine to the fullest.

• Always Strive for Better
