• We build a consumer app with a strong focus on product quality and fast iteration. Small team, high ownership, real production impact
Responsibilities
•
Build and ship core app experiences end-to-end (screens, state, networking, navigation)
•
Integrate with backend APIs to deliver key user flows (auth, feed, interactions, etc.)
•
Improve performance and reliability: startup time, smooth scrolling, memory usage, crash-free sessions
•
Work closely with product/design/engineering to iterate quickly and make strong trade-offs
•
Help prototype and integrate AI-powered features (scope depends on the project)
Requirements
•
App development experience (required): React Native / Flutter / native iOS / native Android — able to ship production-grade screens and integrate APIs
•
Strong fundamentals in software engineering: clean code, modularity, debugging, and Git-based collaboration
•
Solid understanding of mobile/client fundamentals: network requests, caching, async programming, and performance profiling
•
AI/ML knowledge (required): familiar with classic + modern model families and how they’re used in products (e.g., CNN/RNN/Transformer, LLMs, multimodal models). Can reason about capabilities, limitations, and practical integration patterns
•
Strong communication and a “ship-it” mindset in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
Preferred Qualifications
•
Experience shipping a 0→1 mobile app or owning a feature end-to-end
•
Familiarity with on-device ML concepts, model inference constraints, or edge optimization
•
Experience with experimentation/metrics, analytics instrumentation, or A/B testing
•
Backend exposure (APIs, databases, caching) is a plus but not required
