About the role

We are looking for a Mobile Engineer to join our team and help build the next generation of AI-powered creative tools on iOS and Android. You will own key product surfaces in our React Native app, from generative video workflows and an AI assistant chat experience, to real-time media playback, ad/storyboard creation tools, and character interactions powered by LiveKit.

Responsibilities

  • Build and ship product features in a React Native app that puts cutting-edge generative AI video models directly in users' hands
  • Own features through their full lifecycle: instrument analytics, manage feature-flag rollouts, monitor stability and usability post-launch, and surface learnings that inform next steps
  • Help keep the mobile app up to date with the latest AI capabilities and contribute to a continuous stream of experiments aimed at improving retention and engagement
  • Own complex, media-rich UI surfaces: video playback and cropping, asset galleries, multi-step storyboard/ad-builder workflows, and interactive prompt interfaces
  • Bring strong UX taste to every feature, ensuring interactions feel polished, intuitive, and native to each platform
  • Develop and maintain an AI-powered chat assistant experience with streaming responses, tool-use handlers, and rich message rendering
  • Integrate real-time audio/video features using LiveKit for character call experiences
  • Collaborate with backend and web engineers to design and consume APIs that power generative AI tools, asset management, billing, and in-app purchases
  • Improve app performance, startup time, animation smoothness, and reliability across iOS and Android
  • Participate in release engineering, managing EAS builds, OTA updates, and App Store / Play Store submissions

Requirements

  • 5+ years of industry experience in mobile engineering, with production experience on React Native (TypeScript), iOS (Swift/UIKit or SwiftUI) or Android (Kotlin)
  • A high-ownership mindset: you care about what happens after code merges, from rollout and monitoring to measuring impact and iterating
  • A keen eye for UX quality and attention to detail in interactions, animations, and visual polish
  • Experience with mobile navigation patterns, complex state management, and performance optimization on resource-constrained devices
  • Familiarity with media handling on mobile: video playback, image manipulation, camera, or audio
  • Experience shipping apps through the App Store and/or Google Play, including familiarity with build tooling, code signing, and OTA update mechanisms
  • Comfort working with RESTful APIs and integrating third-party SDKs (analytics, auth, payments)
  • Ability to rapidly prototype solutions and iterate under tight product deadlines

Qualifications

  • Nice to have: Experience building AI-powered or LLM-integrated mobile experiences
  • Nice to have: Background in in-app purchases (StoreKit / Google Play Billing)
