- We build a consumer app with a strong focus on product quality and fast iteration. Small team, high ownership, real production impact
- 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)
- 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
- 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
