We're Hiring: Full Stack developer (Full-Time, Equity Only)

📍 Location: Remote or Stockholm

🕐 Start: ASAP

💸 Compensation: Equity only until we raise (planned for early next year)

We're building something important — and we need a developer who wants to be early, not just employed.

About Trustyou

We're creating a paradigm shift in digital parenting. Instead of restrictive parental controls, we're building a proactive AI-powered assistant that helps parents understand their children's digital behavior and emotional well-being before issues escalate into long-term mental health problems.

Our cross-platform app leverages Apple's FamilyControls and ManagedSettings frameworks on iOS and Android's UsageStatsManager APIs to provide real-time insights while maintaining privacy and trust between families.

What this role means

This is not a salaried role (yet). We're bootstrapped and will raise our first round early next year. Until then, we're offering equity. If that's a deal-breaker, no hard feelings. But if you're looking for real ownership in building something meaningful from the ground up, keep reading.

Who you are

Technical Foundation:

• Strong experience with React Native and Expo for cross-platform development

• Comfortable with iOS development patterns and Apple's native frameworks

• Experience with Android development and platform-specific APIs

• Experience with Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Functions)

• Understanding of real-time data synchronization and mobile performance optimization

What we're really looking for:

• You can architect scalable solutions, not just implement features

• You think about user experience, not just functionality

• You're excited about integrating AI/ML capabilities that can genuinely strengthen families

• You can work independently but know when to collaborate

• You move fast but don't break things (much)

• You're curious about the intersection of technology, psychology, and family dynamics

Bonus points:

• Experience with Apple's Screen Time/Family Controls APIs and Android's UsageStats/DevicePolicyManager

• Background in privacy-focused app development

• Previous work with AI/GPT integrations

• Understanding of EU data protection regulations

• Experience with gamification systems

• Cross-platform optimization and platform-specific feature implementation

What you'll do

Technical ownership:

• Build and ship core features across the entire React Native/Expo stack for both iOS and Android

• Integrate complex platform-specific frameworks (iOS FamilyControls, Android UsageStats) with React Native

• Design and implement real-time data architecture with Firebase

• Build AI-powered features for parenting guidance and behavioral insights

• Optimize performance for real-time screen monitoring and data processing across platforms

Product collaboration:

• Work directly with founders to define technical architecture

• Contribute to product decisions based on technical feasibility and user experience

• Help shape our approach to privacy-first development

• Build foundations that will scale as we grow

Our Stack

Current:

• Frontend: Expo (React Native) with iOS and Android platform-specific native modules

• Backend: Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions)

• Real-time monitoring: Apple FamilyControls & ManagedSettings APIs (iOS), UsageStatsManager (Android)

• AI Integration: GPT-4 API for parenting guidance

What we're building toward:

• Advanced behavioral analytics and pattern recognition

• Sophisticated gamification and reward systems

• Enhanced privacy controls and data encryption

• Scalable notification and feedback systems

What we care about

• Technical excellence without over-engineering

• User privacy as a core principle, not an afterthought

• Rapid iteration balanced with code quality

• Product intuition - understanding what parents and kids actually need

• Being human - we're building for families, for children

Why join now?

You'll be the third technical person on the team, meaning:

• Direct impact on technical architecture and product direction

• Opportunity to build something from scratch with modern best practices

• Early equity in a space that's ready for disruption

• Working on technology that genuinely helps families

What to include with the application:

• Something you've built that you're proud of (especially mobile/React Native)

• Why you're interested in this problem space

• Your approach to building privacy-first applications

  
  

We won't waste your time. If it's a fit, we'll move fast.
