Senior Android Developer

This For That is an early stage startup disrupting the way people consume. We are a peer to peer barter community where women exchange everything from their wardrobes that they can put a value on. Our platform operates in its own unique currency which makes barter almost a game like experience, where women can earn credits by ‘Swapping’ their products and use them to score more products within the app.
