Job description

Join to apply for the Application Developer – Game & Networking Apps role at Twine .

This role involves developing two interconnected mobile applications : an interactive educational game for children and teens, and a professional networking platform. The educational game will feature timed questions, scoring, rewards, and real‑time multiplayer or challenge modes, all within a clean, modern UI / UX tailored for younger users. The networking app will offer user profiles, connections, referrals, memberships, and in‑app purchases, with a sleek, professional interface. Both apps require secure API integration, payment gateway setup, in‑app shop functionality, cloud data synchronization, offline caching, and an admin dashboard or CMS for content management and leaderboards. The ideal candidate will ensure compliance with data privacy standards such as COPPA, GDPR, and Australian regulations, and deliver smooth animations and engaging user experiences. Remote work is preferred, and the project is supported by a finance and marketing company based in Sydney, Australia.

  • Ensure compliance with COPPA, GDPR, and Australian data privacy standards
  • Optimize app performance for smooth animations and fast interactions
