Company Description
GroupMe is an app & service that helps you stay connected with your real life social network: your family, friends and coworkers. Since we launched less than two years ago, we’ve processed billions of messages, grown the company to 25 people, won the Breakout award at SXSW, and been acquired. As part of the Skype division at Microsoft, our goal is to be the daily communications provider for *billions* of people.
Job Description
