Role: Software Engineer – Mobile (0→1 Builder)
We're building something new in education. An incubated start-up with the freedom to move fast, the mandate to think big, and the discipline to craft products that feel right. We're looking for a mobile engineer who doesn't just ship apps, but sweats the details, raises the bar, and takes pride in building things people love to use.
What You'll Do
- Take ideas from sketches to fully working mobile apps (iOS/Android).
- Shape both the product and the experience: clean code, elegant design, seamless UI.
- Treat every build like a craft: polished, resilient, and built to last.
- Use AI tools as second nature: to speed, scale, and sharpen your output.
- Bring structure to chaos: organize projects, communicate clearly, and keep the team aligned.
- Work side-by-side with founders on product decisions, not just code.
Who You Are
- 4+ years building and shipping mobile apps that real people use.
- Fluent in React Native, Swift, or Kotlin (you care more about great apps than dogma).
- A maker with design sensibility. You know when a button feels off by a pixel.
- A craftsperson: you set a high bar for quality and don’t cut corners.
- Curious and fluent with AI development workflows.
- Strong communicator: direct, clear, and collaborative.
- Naturally organized and capable of steering projects without hand-holding.
Why Join Us
- Impact from day one: we're at 0→1 — your fingerprints will be all over the product.
- Room to build: no bloated teams, no red tape. Just space to move fast and own your work.
- Craft + scale: we care about polish, but we’re not building art projects. The goal is an ambitious scale in education.
- Future upside: be part of an incubated venture with real backing, solving problems that matter.
Technical Skills
- Strong in at least one mobile ecosystem: React Native / Expo, Swift, or Kotlin.
- Understanding of frontend architecture, state management, and performance tuning.
- Comfort with design systems, animations, and UI polish.
- Experience with API integration, auth flows, and data management.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks, and app store deployment.
- Proactive in using AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) to boost velocity.
- Fluency with backend (Node.js, Firebase, Supabase, etc.).
