Senior Mobile Developer – React Native (with Product Ownership)

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

Ready to build a truly unique app experience?

Qpaws dog tracking app is looking for a product-minded React Native developer to help shape, scale, and elevate a platform already loved by thousands of dog owners in the Nordics and beyond.

You’ll join early and go deep — coding, testing, designing, iterating — and pushing the product forward in ways that actually matter to users (and their dogs).

You’ll be trusted with autonomy, encouraged to ship quickly, iterate smartly, and constantly explore new ideas — while staying connected closely to a tight-knit team as we're gearing up for rapid growth.


You might be the one if you...

  • Care about UX and UI. Like, really care. You want every screen to feel snappy, clear and joyful to use.

  • Know React Native inside out, and stay sharp on the latest stacks and practices. You may also have experience with native iOS and/or Android.

  • Have helped ship real apps with commercial success — and know what it takes to get there.

  • Are fluent in TypeScript and know how to keep code clean, typed, and maintainable.

  • Knows some (or all?) of these keywords: TanStack, Zod, tRPC, Bun, Postgres, Docker, Figma, Drizzle, Expo, Monorepo, LocalFirst. (Mention which ones when applying!)

  • Love using tools like Copilot, Cursor or Windsurf to speed up the grunt work — and focus on real logic.

  • Are pragmatic: you know when to go deep, and when to ship and move on.

  • Are not afraid of legacy — you respect the past, but you’re here to build the future.

  • Want real influence, and maybe even a co-founder role.

Don’t tick every box? That’s okay. We care more about mindset than checklists.


Why join us now?

  • Real momentum. We’ve got a passionate user base, a live product, and strong financial backing.

  • Creative ownership. You’ll shape how the app looks, feels and functions — with real impact.

  • Startup energy. No fluff, no silos, no gatekeepers. Just a small, smart team making things happen.

  • A meaningful mission. We’re building something that matters — for users, for dogs, for teams and communities around the world.

  • Co-founder potential: A clear path to grow into a key leadership role (if that's something you want) as the company scales.

Qpaws – Dog Activity App

Qpaws is a cutting-edge digital platform transforming how dog owners manage and enhance their pets' well-being. Our startup is solving several critical challenges dog owners face, especially in today's fast-paced world where dogs often struggle with insufficient exercise, poor nutrition, and irregular health monitoring. The problem is more urgent than ever, with studies indicating that over 70% of dogs are overweight, leading to a wide range of health issues that affect their quality of life. Qpaws started by focusing on the highly demanding dog sport of mushing, where monitoring dogs' activity and health is crucial. However, we quickly realized that the problems we were solving for mushers—like optimizing training, tracking feeding, and improving overall dog care—are problems all dog owners face. Whether it's the daily walker, the outdoor enthusiast, or the professional trainer, every dog owner wants to provide the best for their furry companions. This realization led us to expand the app's features to appeal to all dog owners, creating a more inclusive platform that anyone can use, regardless of their activity level or how many dogs they care for. We solve a wide range of dog care challenges through smart, intuitive technology. At its core, Qpaws tracks activity, ensuring that dogs get enough exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle. But it doesn't stop there. We also provide tools for health monitoring—keeping track of vaccinations, vet visits, and other medical needs. On top of that, the app offers personalized nutrition advice, guiding owners on the best diet for their dog based on breed, age, and activity levels. One of the unique aspects of Qpaws is its open approach to hardware integration. Most dog tech platforms are closed ecosystems, requiring expensive, specialized devices that limit their accessibility. Qpaws flips the script by being hardware-agnostic. You can use it with any wearable you choose, or none at all, making it an affordable and scalable solution that meets the needs of dog owners around the world. This accessibility, combined with the app's social networking features, allows dog owners to connect with a global community, sharing tips, experiences, and inspiration, making dog care more enjoyable and rewarding. As the global pet tech industry booms, Qpaws is perfectly positioned to grow rapidly. We already have a solid user base of over 14,000 active members and 32,000 dogs tracked on the platform. But this is just the beginning. Our goal is to transition from a niche product for extreme sports enthusiasts to a widely used app for all dog owners. With 350 million dog owners worldwide, the total addressable market is vast. We're gearing up for international expansion, with a particular focus on the UK and US markets, where pet ownership and interest for pet care are at all-time highs. In summary, Qpaws is not just an app for tracking your dog's walks—it's a comprehensive tool designed to improve every aspect of dog care. From exercise and nutrition to health monitoring and community engagement, Qpaws addresses the key challenges dog owners face today and provides innovative solutions to ensure their dogs live longer, healthier, and happier lives. With our vision, technology, and market potential, Qpaws is poised to lead the digital transformation in the pet care industry globally. Are you a developer and want to be part of our exciting journey, get in touch at sigmund@qpaws.com Your passion for dogs is optional—your passion for building world-class software is what truly matters.
