We’re always looking for good people – so if you’re a great person and an amazing developer we’d love to hear from you.

In Certification & Compliance we ensure that Avakin Life complies with first party guidelines established by the app stores, like the Apple Appstore or the Google Play Store. For an app to be present on the app stores, it needs to comply with their guidelines. These also intent to protect users’ privacy and safety and they’re constantly evolving. Being up to date with the latest guidelines is extremely important and we want you to help us be on top of our game! As a Certification & Compliance specialist, your input will be highly valuable and you’ll get to work closely with other departments like production or development.
