About the Company
We are an early-stage wellness startup developing a cozy, self-help mobile game focused on women’s mental health and daily self-care. Our mission is to create a calming, supportive digital space where users can engage in small mindfulness rituals that reward emotional well-being. This is a greenfield project focused on rapid MVP development for early market validation.
About the Role
We’re seeking a part-time Full-Stack iOS Mobile Developer to lead the development of our MVP - a mobile game that combines gentle gameplay with daily wellness practices. The MVP will include about 10 simple screens, two lightweight databases, and core features such as daily breathing exercises, a virtual flower garden, and visiting digital creatures.
Required Skills
- Proven experience in full-stack iOS mobile development
- Strong front-end skills, with ability to deliver clean, engaging user interfaces
- Comfortable with rapid MVP development cycles
- Experience building mobile games or gamified applications
- Ability to set up and integrate lightweight backends (e.g., Firebase, Supabase, or custom APIs)
- Ability to work independently and suggest pragmatic, production-ready tech solutions
- Comfortable communicating asynchronously with occasional live check-ins
We’re flexible and open to developer recommendations, but ideal tools may include:
- Flutter or React Native for cross-platform support
- SwiftUI for native iOS focus (if staying strictly iOS)
- Firebase or Supabase for backend-as-a-service (auth, storage, real-time DB)
- Simple cloud functions or REST APIs (Node.js or Python)
Nice to Have Skills
- Familiarity with mobile game design principles or relaxing/cozy game mechanics
- Experience working on wellness or mental health-focused digital products
- Animation or light game physics implementation skills
- Previous work on cross-platform mobile apps
- Portfolio of mobile games or interactive apps
