About the job
Founding mobile hire at a fast-growing, well-funded startup - no mobile team yet, you'd be it. You decide what gets built on mobile and you ship it, working directly alongside the founders. Backed by an oversubscribed seed round from top-tier VCs, already deployed with some of the largest players in a large, underserved legacy market, gearing up for a Series A.
What you'll do
- own mobile end to end across iOS and Android, from architecture to app store releases on both platforms
- build production-grade React Native + TypeScript, dropping into native Swift/Kotlin when needed
- design for offline‑first use in real‑world field conditions - unreliable connectivity, local persistence, sync
- sit directly with users to decide what should exist, then build and ship it yourself
Requirements
- comfortable in native iOS and Android fundamentals, including Swift/Kotlin
- have shipped a mobile app end‑to‑end through App Store / Google Play release
- offline‑first or sync‑heavy mobile experience is a strong plus
- forward‑deployed or solutions‑engineering background is a strong plus
What's on offer
- London, in‑office (some flexibility)
- up to £160K base + meaningful equity
- full visa sponsorship and relocation including flights
- all meals provided in‑office, free gym membership
- small, sharp team - engineers with backgrounds at top global tech companies, commercial leadership from elite strategy consulting
