Developers at LaunchPad Lab do more than just write lines of code. We're product builders who solve meaningful problems alongside our clients. Our team has experienced tremendous growth in 2020, and we have some exciting projects ahead of us.

This role will give you the opportunity to work closely with clients to plan and develop new features. You'll work across a number of products and industries in a collaborative, agile environment.

You love to work with clients to create software applications that transform their business. You want to play a key role in defining the product’s vision and roadmap and are eager to work closely with our designers and product managers to do so. You believe that our success is 100% dependent on our client’s success and that it’s our job to help our clients build the right thing.

You thrive on collaboration, understand the process of iteration, and are excited about taking projects from inception to launch. You are eager to level up your programming ability. Most of all, you want to be part of a fun, challenging, and collaborative environment where egos are left at the door.
