What are the responsibilities and job description for the Back End Developer position at SKIP Inc?
ABOUT US :
Skip is on a mission to make life joyful through powered movement.
Movement is a powerful way to build physical, mental and social health. Yet it is elusive for the 2 billion people due to age, injury, or disability. We are building productsthat will restore mobility for millions and enable a new frontier of joyful movement experiences. We want to build a future where a grandparent can easily outrun their grandkids and no one is left behind at the trailhead.

With deep cross-disciplinary expertise and key partnerships (e.g. with Arcteryx) we are uniquely positioned to launch the first commercially successful wearable robotic device , the MO / GO, and transform millions of lives in the coming years.
