Equity Only - Frontend / Mobile Engineer (React Native + AI-Assisted Dev)

About Us

We’re an early-stage startup building a care network platform for neurodivergent individuals. Our focus is on creating meaningful, safe, and scalable user experiences powered by modern technologies and AI-assisted development.

This is an equity-only founding team / early engineer role, ideal for someone excited to build from 0→1 and shape both product and engineering culture.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Frontend / Mobile Engineer to lead the development of our mobile and web applications using React Native and React.js, backed by Firebase, and accelerated through AI-assisted tools like Cursor.AI.

You will work closely with product and design to rapidly prototype, build, and iterate on user-facing features, owning the end-to-end frontend experience.

What You’ll Do

Product & UI Development

• Collaborate closely with product and design teams to translate wireframes, mockups, and ideas into high-quality, functional UI components
• Rapidly prototype and iterate based on user feedback and evolving product direction
• Build intuitive, accessible, and responsive user experiences across mobile and web

Frontend & Mobile Engineering

• Develop cross-platform mobile applications using React Native
• Build web experiences using React.js (optionally with modern frameworks like Next.js)
• Leverage modern frontend tooling (e.g., Tailwind CSS, Vite) to deliver performant applications

End-to-End Feature Ownership

• Design, build, and ship core product features from concept to production
• Integrate APIs and backend services (primarily Firebase)
• Ensure consistent UI/UX behavior across devices and platforms

AI-Assisted Development

• Use tools like Cursor.AI to accelerate development, debugging, and refactoring
• Continuously explore ways to improve engineering velocity using AI-assisted workflows

Performance, Security & Deployment

• Optimize application performance (load time, responsiveness, scalability)
• Implement frontend security best practices
• Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines for seamless build and deployment processes
• Ensure reliability and quality through testing and monitoring

Tech Stack

• Mobile: React Native
• Web: React.js
• Backend / Infra: Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Functions, Hosting – AWS)
• Styling: Tailwind CSS (or similar)
• Tooling: Cursor.AI, Git, CI/CD pipelines

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience with React Native and/or React.js
• Ability to build and ship products independently in a fast-moving environment
• Experience integrating APIs and working with cloud backends (Firebase preferred)
• Solid understanding of UI/UX principles and responsive design
• Comfort with ambiguity and rapid iteration in an early-stage startup
• Interest in leveraging AI tools to enhance development productivity

Nice to Have

• Experience with Firebase ecosystem (Auth, Firestore, Functions)
• Prior startup or 0→1 product experience
• Experience building accessible or community-driven platforms
• Familiarity with performance profiling and optimization

Compensation

• Equity-only (founding / early-stage equity)
• Significant upside tied to company growth and impact
• Opportunity to transition to salary as we raise funding

Why Join Us

• Build a meaningful product with real-world impact
• Work directly with founders on core product decisions
• Shape the engineering culture and architecture from the ground up
• Leverage cutting-edge AI-assisted development workflows
