About Us:

Mobile Commons is a Brooklyn-based software company whose technology powers today's most effective text messaging campaigns. We work with some of the biggest brands, government agencies, healthcare groups, and nonprofit organizations in the country, transforming the way that our society uses mobile to communicate. Our amazing customers include Obama 2012, NYC MTA, Tumblr, National Cancer Institute, Humane Society of the United States and many more.

And with these amazing customers comes interesting & difficult engineering challenges. Our customers demand high availability, strict security (think HIPAA compliance), and an easy-to-use interface. Our distributed, message-driven architecture requires rock solid engineering, operations, and monitoring.

We are growing quickly and hiring web developers to help us scale, expand into new verticals, and build amazing new mobile products.

Why Mobile Commons:

We are in the beautiful neighborhood of DUMBO, Brooklyn in a startup environment - hard working and very fun.

Salary competitive and commensurate with experience. If you're looking to be stimulated, solve hard technical problems, work with smart people, invent new markets, and not deal with bureaucracy, look no further
