Location: Remote (UK preferred)
Type: Full-time or part-time (open to fractional/contract to start)
Start date: ASAP
Salary/Rate: Competitive, based on experience
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.).
