Senior Mobile Developer (React Native, Expo, iOS)

About Us:

We are the Colombo-based team behind some of Europe's hottest scaleups — engineers who don't just get assigned to a project, they get folded into the team. Same standups, same Slack channels, same "let's ship this by Friday" energy — just based in Sri Lanka instead of Stockholm, Berlin or Denmark.

Think: less "outsourced developer," more "the engineer, the founders in Europe actually know by name."

Client:

They're building a social app that turns "I saw this on TikTok" into "I'm actually here." Someone spots a place online, taps to save it, and AI finds the exact spot, drops a pin, and helps them plan the whole thing. Think: the app you open when you want to go do something with your friends — not scroll about it.

Position:

You're not just writing code — you're crafting how the app feels in someone's hand. Every animation, every haptic buzz, every micro-interaction is yours to obsess over. You'll work directly with the founders and CTO, turning napkin sketches into real, shipped features — fast.

Your Responsibilities:

• Build and ship a polished, native-feeling app and sweat the details: animation, haptics, the small touches that make it delightful

• Take a vague idea, or even a rough napkin sketch, and turn it into a real, working feature

• Explore multiple routes to a solution, always focused on getting it into users' hands

• Step into the user's shoes on every decision, keeping the experience simple and effortless

Your Profile:

• 4+ years building mobile apps, for real

• Deep hands-on experience with React Native and Expo

• A genuine eye for UI and animation

• A feel for haptics — you know what makes an app feel alive

• Obsessive attention to detail, minimal need for hand-holding

• You've taken products from zero to shipped before

• You're already using AI coding tools daily to move faster — not just dabbling

• You convey your ideas effectively, making communication more efficient

Nice to Have:

• You've gotten your hands dirty with native mobile — Swift/Objective-C or Kotlin/Java

• You've built consumer-facing apps before

• You genuinely love travel

What you get:

• Real impact — your work ships, people use it, you see it happen

• A team that's actually good at what they do, and actually cares about doing it well

• Ideas get heard here — good ones win, regardless of who's title is on them

• Room to grow — into your role, into new ones, into whatever's next

• Work from the office, work from home, work from wherever gets you in the zone

• Bring someone great, get rewarded for it

• Thursday snacks that are worth showing up for 🍔

Team events, after-works, and the occasional group activity that has nothing to do with work 🏂🏼
