Sidekick Interactive is a young and dynamic company which primarily develops mobile applications (native iOS and native Android solutions) for a variety of different clients. We’ve worked on innovative and challenging projects for the City of Montreal, City of Laval, car2go, multiple startups, European clients, and fortune 500 companies. We touch various industries such as medtech, construction, tourism, and more. We primarily do custom work for our clients as well as develop multiple in-house projects. All our apps are programmed entirely natively, and we love to tackle challenging tech problems, like 3D scans and Bluetooth Mesh.

Our company is growing and we need more help! Although we are primarily a mobile development company, our more sophisticated apps require backends that are built on top of Microsoft technologies (Azure Cloud, ASP.NET Core, C#, SQL Databases, Azure Storage, etc), as well as administrative frontend web views built with Angular. The ideal candidate is a full stack ASP.NET developer who can handle front-end work with Angular, but it should be noted that most of the significant workload will be back-end, and so this knowledge is more of a priority. Most of the projects we are working on are technically challenging, so you should be comfortable with problem solving, and implementing solid software engineering principles.
