FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEER
Mobile Development
Same full-stack foundation as our core FDE role, with genuine depth in mobile — bringing AI-enabled deployments to the device in a client's or their customer's hand, not just a browser tab.

The Role
What you'll actually do
- Design and build mobile-facing interfaces for AI-enabled deployments — member apps, field-service tools, citizen-facing applications, wherever a client's real users are on a phone rather than a desktop
- Work alongside the rest of the FDE team on the backend and orchestration layer, then carry the same deployment through to a genuinely usable mobile experience
- Translate the same real-world, often ambiguous client workflows the wider team handles into a mobile-native build, not a shrunk-down web page
- Own performance, offline behavior, and platform-specific quirks — the things that separate a working demo from something a client's actual customers use daily
What You'll Need
The bar we're actually hiring against
- Real, shipped experience in React Native or native iOS/Android development — not a side project, a production app you can walk us through
- The same core full-stack foundation as our other FDE roles: comfort with TypeScript/Node.js and Python, and hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Direct experience integrating LLM-backed features into a mobile app — handling latency, streaming responses, and graceful failure in ways a web app doesn't have to worry about
- Comfort working under client direction while owning your build independently, and communicating clearly with non-technical stakeholders about what a mobile constraint actually means for their idea
Strong Nice-to-Haves
What separates a strong application
- Experience shipping to both iOS and Android from a single codebase, and knowing when that's the right call versus going native
- Familiarity with modern AI-agentic build tools (e.g. Emergent, Lovable) as a way to move quickly on new mobile builds
- A track record of designing mobile interfaces that hold up under real, messy field conditions — poor connectivity, older devices, non-technical end users
If your first instinct for any new feature is "how does this feel in someone's hand," this is your role.
Send us a shipped app you've built — App Store or Play Store link, or a build we can install and try.
