About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on, experienced developer who can lead architecture, engineering, and technical direction as we take a fast-moving MVP and make it production-ready. You'll work directly with the founder/CPO and a junior technical PM/developer to shape the system, improve the codebase, and make smart bets that support scale and sustainability.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who loves early-stage product work but brings a senior lens to architecture, dev practices, and future team structure.

What You'll Do

Set and maintain the technical architecture across mobile app, backend, and integrations Establish dev standards, tooling, and guardrails to keep the pace high but the code clean Mentor and unblock a junior dev/PM working in the stack daily Identify scaling risks early and own improvements across auth, storage, data, and API design Work in the stack directly (React Native, Supabase, Railway microservices) Help define the shape of the future dev team and participate in early hiring decisions Guide integration of AI-generated or assisted code into maintainable workflows

Tech Stack

Frontend:

React Native (Expo), TypeScript

Backend:

Supabase (Postgres, Auth, Edge Functions), Node microservices on Railway

Tooling:

GitHub, EAS Build, Slack, Linear, AI pair programming tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.)

Other:

Mux (video), Ondato (identity), Firebase FCM, Stripe (optional),

What We're Looking For

5+ years' experience in full-stack or backend-heavy roles, ideally in fast-moving environments Confident working in (or adapting to) React Native + Supabase (or similar) Experience scaling early-stage products (auth, data models, rate limiting, error handling, etc.) Strong architectural instincts - you know when to move fast and when to dig in Comfortable mentoring juniors and working in a lightly structured product environment Familiarity or curiosity about working with AI-generated code in a modern dev pipeline Optional: experience with microservices, observability, security, or platform ownership

Why Join Us?

We move fast, ship real things, and use AI to accelerate everything, this isn't a theory lab You'll have real influence on product direction, architecture, and early hires No process for process' sake, just great builders, direct feedback, and meaningful problems Flexible working style, open to fractional, freelance-to-perm, or full-time depending on fit

How to Apply

Tell us a bit about your background and why this kind of role excites you. We'd love to see examples of past work (GitHub, projects, architecture docs, war stories, etc.).
