Senior Software Engineer - Mobile/React Native
$230k - $300k USD
A Foundational Company
Rilla builds the world’s leading conversation intelligence software for offline commerce.
By recording, analyzing, and indexing conversations, our platform supplies unparalleled alpha to the critical, physical businesses that constitute the backbone of our economy.
Our purpose is to bring the technology of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the rest of the economy.
As a side effect of this mission, we’ve become one of the fastest growing companies in history. In numbers, that means 0→$40M in 3.5 years, growing 15% MoM, Net Revenue Retention above 170%, an NPS higher than the iPhone’s, and profitability.
The Role
Rilla engineers architect and ship features across the stack at lightning speed. On a daily basis, you will build end-to-end workflows, take them to production, and solve real world problems across an out-sized scale.
As the first fully dedicated mobile engineer, you will clear today’s velocity bottlenecks and take full ownership of our mobile codebase, crafting a lightning‑fast, real‑time experience for field users. Your work will establish a unified mobile layer that captures and surfaces billions of conversation events—setting the quality bar for every release to come.
Do you describe yourself as "obsessive"? Do you aspire to be a founder or a leader in applying AI to the physical world? We believe Rilla is the best place — with the best peers — to learn how.
Technologies We Use
Different languages and frameworks, including React, React Native, Typescript and Python
Open-source technologies like Node.js, PostgreSQL, Turborepo, Lodash, and Zod
Industry-standard build tooling, including GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Spacelift
What We Value
An infinite learner. Someone who is relentless in their curiosity.
A customer obsessive. Someone who deeply care about delighting customers and solving real pains, not vanity metrics.
A winning attitude. You thrive with extreme accountability, learning as a team, and both giving and receiving rapid feedback.
Extreme empathy. Our customers are not tech companies. They live and work in the real world. Empathy is critical to arriving at correct solutions.
Unafraid of failure. You take risks. You see failure as an opportunity to learn, grow, and be better the next time. In a weird way, you trick your brain into being excited when you fail, because it means you got a new opportunity to learn more.
What We Require
Strong coding skills with demonstrated proficiency in programming languages, such as Javascript, C++, Python, Rust, or similar languages.
Strong mobile engineering prowess (~5+ years), ideally developed at start-ups.
Familiarity with storage and data processing systems, cloud infrastructure, and other technical tools.
Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to iterate quickly with teammates, incorporating feedback and holding a high bar for quality.
