React Native Engineer - Founding Mobile Hire

React Native Engineer - Founding Mobile Hire (London) - Backed by top-tier VCs - up to £160K base + equity

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

• strong production React Native + TypeScript experience
• 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

If you'd rather own mobile from day one than inherit someone else's roadmap, apply and I'll be in touch. We'd love to hear from you!
