Magic for Millions
Magic for Millions
Bringing delight and joy to hundreds of millions of people. How many tech industry jobs offer that?
Fun, positive, diverse workplace. Passionate people who play Ingress and Pokemon Go and other games daily. Hard problems like global scale for many million QPS, basic research in advanced AR and image understanding, games that people love. Proud to be at Niantic.
Very busy, hard work, personal challenge.
It's like grad school, with hard new problems not in the literature, combined with tight schedules and ambitious goals.
Sometimes it feels like an endless IQ test.
(But afterwards, there's lots of pride and deep friendships.)
Stay bold. You got so many millions of people off their couch and away from their computers to walk and see and learn of the world. You helped families bond. Please keep to this "Adventures on Foot" mission and you'll do more than all the Apple Watches and Fitbits and exercise/weight-loss clinics of the world. Oh, and push back the Harry Potter movie launch so that we have more time!
