Developer Advocate


About Mason

Mason is a high-growth venture backed startup based in Seattle, Washington. 

Mason is transforming mobile deployments the same way AWS transformed web app development, making it easy for companies to deploy their software on single-use Android devices anywhere in the world. 

Our customers range from public companies deploying patient engagement software on 22” devices in hospitals, to startups making it easier for restaurants to take orders on 8” tablets. 

Mason provides the physical devices along with software to simplify the configuration, deployment, and management of those devices. This gives our customers full control over their mobile stack and lets them focus on what they do best - building their app.
