We’re hiring a Senior Mobile Developer to help us build and scale a subscription-based mobile app.

This role is for a strong senior IC who owns complex features end-to-end, writes high-quality code, improves architecture, and thinks systematically. We value people who think through problems before implementation and communicate clearly.

Tech Stack

• React Native
• Expo (bare workflow)
• TypeScript (strict, production-grade)
• RevenueCat (subscriptions & entitlements)
• Superwall (paywalls & experimentation)

• iOS & Android (App Store & Google Play)

   

Responsibilities

• Own complex features from problem definition to production release.
• Write high-quality, maintainable React Native code.
• Improve existing architecture and reduce tech debt without slowing product velocity.
• Review PRs with a focus on correctness, readability, and long-term maintainability.
• Collaborate closely with product and design to turn goals into clear technical plans.

• Take senior-level ownership: identify risks early, think through solutions, and ship reliably.

   

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience shipping production React Native apps.
• Hands-on experience with subscription-based products, including:
  • Paywalls and onboarding → subscription flows
  • Entitlements and access control
  • Handling edge cases (upgrades, downgrades, refunds, restore purchases)
• Experience with RevenueCat and/or Superwall.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Systematic, linear thinker who plans before coding.
• Comfortable working independently and making sound technical decisions.

Nice to Have

• Experience using AI tools or APIs to automate workflows, improve developer productivity, or enhance user experience.
• Experience with mobile analytics, experimentation, or A/B testing.
• Familiarity with performance optimization and debugging on mobile.
• Startup or product-driven team experience.

How We Work

• We prioritize clarity, thoughtful planning, and high-quality execution.
• We favor systematic thinking over rigid methodology.
• Decisions are documented and tradeoffs are explicit.

What Success Looks Like

• Subscription flows are reliable, measurable, and optimized.
• Complex features ship with confidence and minimal regressions.
• Architecture steadily improves, making the codebase easier to extend.
• Engineering work stays aligned with product goals.
