• Owning end-to-end production of development projects
• Managing all milestones and deliverables ensuring they are on time and at a high quality
• Gathering and providing both design and development feedback to developers and executives

• Experience developing and deploying iOS and Android games and apps
• A love of video games of all types
• A passion for health and fitness and an understanding of how difficult it can be for the average person to adhere to a traditional workout program

Bonus (But Not Required) Skills:

• Experience with virtual reality development
• Experience working with AAA game development teams, but ready to make an impact with a smaller team
• Experience with SteamVR
• Experience with Amazon Web Services
• Experience with client-side web development
