Description
Work & Co ) solves complex problems and drives businesses forward —through end-to-end strategy, design and development of their core digital products.

With a team of over 500 people and offices in the United States, Latin America, and Europe, we've become the go-to partner for IKEA, Google, Apple, Gatorade, PGA TOUR, Mercedes, MTA, Planned Parenthood, and more.

As Fast Company noted, our engineering and design teams are routinely entrusted with creating digital products for companies which rarely approach outside firms.

Forrester Research calls our approach "a model to follow."

  • Python language knowledge required
  • Knowledge of web services and APIs (SOAP, REST)
