Founding Engineer, Full-stack
The Opportunity
As a senior web & mobile frontend engineer at Seekeasy, you’ll shape the experience our users have. You’ll lead development on our Expo mobile and web apps, work with product and design to craft seamless and beautiful user experiences, and help define the way we build consumer applications that scale to millions.
Build for the new internet era: Generative AI is transforming how people discover and engage with content. Seekeasy is creating the technology to make these recommendations trustworthy, delightful, and personal.
Shape the product experience: As the lead on our mobile and web frontends, you’ll own the architecture, performance, and user experience of our apps.
Join a veteran team: We are seasoned startup operators and engineers. You’ll have the support of a battle-tested, low-ego team that knows how to move fast and build right.
Define our technical DNA: Your decisions will guide Seekeasy’s product development for years to come.
Solve real-world challenges: Your work will directly impact how people discover places and engage with digital content in their daily lives.
What you’ll do
Build our consumer apps: Lead development of our Expo-based mobile and web apps, integrating design, backend APIs, and AI-powered recommendation services.
Collaborate with design & product: Translate Figma designs and product specs into fluid, performant mobile experiences that delight users.
Ensure quality & reliability: Implement automated tests, CI/CD, logging, and monitoring to deliver rock-solid mobile releases.
Shape developer experience: Improve build pipelines, release processes, and shared component libraries across applications.
Lead and mentor: Guide the growth of our engineering team as we scale. Your experience will be invaluable in nurturing talent and fostering a culture of innovation.
Who you are
You are a builder: You love to build, ship, get feedback, and iterate - because that’s the only way to know what’s working and what’s not.
You are an owner: You take pride in your work and can operate autonomously to drive your work forward. Seekeasy is not the right fit for people who default to waiting for instructions.
You are a team player: You see yourself as part of the team, not just as someone working on the same project. Whatever it takes for the team to succeed, you want to be a part of it.
You are user-obsessed: You sweat the details that make a product feel smooth, intuitive, and “just right.”
