The Role

Own features end-to-end: from the React Native screen to the API endpoint to the database query. Ship weekly in a TypeScript monorepo. Use AI-assisted development (Claude Code) as a core part of your workflow.

What You'll Do

• Build features across our React Native/Expo mobile app and Next.js backend
• Design type-safe REST APIs consumed via end-to-end typed RPC clients
• Work with both MongoDB and PostgreSQL
• Own mobile releases - native builds, OTA updates, App Store/Play Store
• Write tests at every layer - unit, API mocking, mobile E2E
• Build and improve Claude Code agents and workflows to accelerate the team

Requirements

• 5+ years shipping production React Native apps - native modules, performance, app store releases
• Strong TypeScript across the full stack
• Production Node.js backend experience - APIs, auth, databases
• Expo managed workflow - EAS builds, OTA updates, file-based routing
• Monorepo experience with shared packages across apps
• Production MongoDB or PostgreSQL (ideally both)
• Active use of AI dev tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) - you write agents, configure workflows, and use agentic coding daily
• High ownership - you clarify, decide, and ship

Nice to Have

• Complex mobile animations (Reanimated, Gesture Handler)
• Building AI-powered product features
• Event-driven background job systems

How We Work

Small team, big ownership. PRs under 400 lines, stacked for larger features. AI-augmented engineering with Claude Code is standard practice. Ship weekly, iterate constantly.
