GW is hiring an app developer to join the team and help keep their mobile apps up to speed and running, whoo hoo!
This is good news all around if you ask us. This means they understand the app has had some issues and someone can grab their dream job. Like we’ve said before, the app would really streamline gameplay if it worked well. So maybe you’ll be the new developer who can take it to that level!
Who wouldn’t want up to 50% off on all your GW stuff! We’re not sure if they’re changing up the staff or the new hire will be more of an add-on to the team, but it seems like a good thing all around.
GW is Hiring an App Developer With iOS & Android Skills!
Let’s check out the listing and see what it’s all about. Just keep in mind, you have to apply by Wednesday Nov 25th, 2020. This also looks like it could be a UK exclusive job (but doesn’t come out and say it). It does say you can work remotely, but it mentions more than once that the job is based out of Nottingham. Maybe you can work it from somewhere else, just have to work on UK time! Don’t wait around and miss the opportunity!

Looks like they are trying to improve the app and keep it moving forward. Always a good thing to hear! The app has been plagued by some issues, so this is great news!
As a Mobile Native App Developer, you will be responsible for delivering solutions to business problems, using mobile native applications, as well as innovating and driving the adoption of modern technical practices throughout the wider team.

We’re very happy to see this and expect whoever they hire to really put the pedal to the metal and make it work!
