Lead Mobile Engineer (React Native)

A fast-growing AI start-up is redefining how people learn by delivering personalized 2-minute podcasts with world-class experts anytime, anywhere. As they accelerate their product and expand their team, they are hiring a Lead Mobile Engineer (React Native) to take their mobile experience to the next level.

Whether you are a high-agency product engineer ready to own the React Native stack or a seasoned mobile developer seeking a fresh, high-impact challenge, this is an opportunity to shape an emerging consumer AI product alongside a talented, well-supported team.

Requirements

What you will do :

  • Lead the end-to-end development of the B2C mobile app using React Native and TypeScript
  • Prototype, ship, measure, scale or sunset experiments rapidly
  • Craft delightful UX including micro-animations, offline resilience, and p95 performance
  • Collaborate with design and data to optimize features and retention
  • Contribute across the stack (Node and TypeScript backend, Python AI pipelines) when needed
  • Treat experiments as core product work, instrument, A / B test, and iterate
  • Work directly with the founder, tech lead, and advisors to drive product direction

What we are looking for :

  • 3 to 8 years of experience building and shipping B2C mobile products, ideally in early-stage startups
  • Deep expertise in React Native and TypeScript, with the ability to dip into Swift or Objective-C
  • Experience navigating backend or infrastructure (Python, GCP, Airflow) to unblock yourself
  • A scrappy, resourceful mindset and comfort moving fast and iterating quickly
  • Excellent judgment on what good looks like in design, performance, and user value
  • Strong product thinking with the ability to balance user experience, technical trade-offs, and business impact
  • Track record of spinning up prototypes quickly and improving or replacing them without ego

    • Why this role stands out :

  • Strategic opportunity to own the mobile front-end for a high-potential AI product
  • Direct mentorship from a founder who scaled a multi-billion-dollar company and advisors like Tinder's former CPO
  • Competitive salary and benefits with strong equity upside
  • Flexible work setup with three days in person in Victoria and remote flexibility
  • Immersion sprints in Silicon Valley with founders and top AI investors
  • Zero bureaucracy with a focus on impact and growth

    • Nice to have :

  • Experience shipping 0 to 1 products even if they did not succeed
  • Background in consumer AI or audio products
  • Familiarity with Google Cloud infrastructure and experimentation frameworks
