WHAT APPLICANTS FOR EITHER JOB SHOULD KNOW


Why We Love This Company (and think perhaps you may too)
People. Product. Place. Potential.

People. Ultimately, a company is made from the people within. The zuuka team is a young, dynamic, motivated, intelligent, and fun family. We love to learn, take ownership, be creative, and enjoy the process of building a great product.

Product. So yes, there are thousands of apps for children. Many are great, many are entertaining, and a number are educational. iStoryTime storybook apps are all three: great, entertaining and educational. It’s something we feel good about.

Places. Zuuka Inc is located in Santa Barbara, CA. That’s usually enough of a draw, but in case you want the travel guide highlights: our beaches, mountains, and Spanish style downtown, provide ample out-door activities; combined with farmer’s market, sports leagues, and seasonal parades, Santa Barbara offers a healthy and entertaining lifestyle. The other half of zuuka is located in Frankfurt, Germany and there is an additional opportunity to spend time in that office to meet the people, swap ideas, and experience a new, international work environment.

Potential. Storytelling - the art of portraying real or fictitious events in words, images, and sounds - has been a thread throughout the history of man. From stone, to scrolls, to books, zuuka liberates storytelling into its next evolutionary phase. zuuka’s iStoryTime is today’s interactive storytelling medium. It will happen; perhaps you want to be on board. If you are a creative, motivated self-starter who wants to be a part of reinventing the art of storytelling in the digital age – we want you on our team.
