Full Stack Mobile Developer

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

Role

One of our internal teams is in the need of a seasoned full stack developer capable of building scalable code and beautiful user experience. You'll be working on the Lowkey application and other customer-facing parts of our services built mainly on React Native.

You’ll be part of a cross-functional team that’s responsible for the full software development life cycle, from conception to deployment. You'll be constantly receiving customer feedback to make sure what is essential to build next. You will have the trust and autonomy to work on what you see fit and essential.

We want to build new features and improve our existing products like Media, Video and Chat. We look for people who pay attention to detail, who have a design sense, and most importantly: have compassion for our users.


What you'll work on daily

  • Work on Lowkey in React Native & NodeJS, but also using TypeScript, Redux and Realm, as well as Express and MongoDB.

  • Build new features across our iOS and Android

  • Architect elegant and maintainable code with a focus on autonomy and support from the team

  • Work on meaningful projects that allow for users to have more delightful conversations

  • Work with your squad to product features across the UX

  • Work with designers to develop delightful interfaces and experiences

  • Using experiments and user research to iterate and learn

Things we look for

  • 2+ years experience writing Javascript (React, TypeScript) and React Native development frameworks and fundamentals. We don't expect everyone to be an expert in all of these, and everyone has their specialties, but the more platforms you're comfortable with (or want to learn!), the faster we can move.

  • 2+ years experience in backend development (we use NodeJS primarily)

  • 2+ years experience in working with AWS

  • Experience building and shipping product features—we do far more than build landing pages.

  • An eye for visuals. Design skills are not required but you can critique and modify existing designs.

  • Experience working with other engineers, and designers and non-engineers.

  • Experience making hard trade-offs between important goals to get the right things built quickly


We offer

  • An opportunity to shape how we communicate with our friends.

  • A collaborative culture where growth from within is encouraged

  • A fast-paced, thrilling working environment.

  • Flexible work hours

  • Trust and autonomy to work on what you see fit and essential.

  • Competitive salary & equity compensation

  • Awesome teammates!

Main page: https://www.notion.so/Lowkey-Team-aeee7a0729744f579db03a8618aa1b0f Lowkey is a fast-growing tech startup in Helsinki, Finland / Los Angeles, USA looking for to take traditional group chatting to the next level. Our mobile application helps students communicate with each other in a modern and exciting way. We are creating a group chat experience that combines fun interactions, security and structurizing group chat features. We will be starting from US markets and currently we are gathering attention among Gen Z all over the nation. We are building Lowkey on two fundamental beliefs: *Fast execution.* We make product decisions together as a team, build them fast and roll them out as soon as possible. This allows us to learn from real users, reiterate and launch quickly again. We aren't afraid of making mistakes. *Autonomous squads.* They have end-to-end responsibility for the system they support, starting with design up to maintenance and operations. Autonomy aims to have faster decisions because they are made locally instead of through management or alignment events.
