React Native Engineer

San Francisco, CA (onsite)

Up to $230K Equity

My client is a VC backed AI start up building the next generation of dating App. They are one of the few truly consumer AI companies right now — Known raised a $9.7M seed from top-tier investors (Forerunner, NFX, Pear VC) and is sprinting toward a Series A in the fall. You'd be joining at the ground floor of a Rocketship.

We are looking for exceptional product builders to continue to elevate the our mobile app. Building is an exercise in design. We strive to be the Apple of dating and our engineers are artisans who steward quality. We are a product-led, user-obsessed company. Our goal is to craft a product that feels intentional and distinctly human.

You might be a fit if you:

• Primarily work as a React Native engineer
• Build products centered around complex audio and voice features
• Want to design intelligence that leads to 1 million marriages
• Are highly detail oriented

Requirements:

• 8 years of experience in React Native product engineering, ideally with a backend focus

• Built and shipped React Native mobile apps in production

• Consumer app experience (not enterprise/B2B)

• Early- stage company experience (< 50 employees)

• Strong backend experience

• Co- founded or was early engineer at a startup

• Strong production- grade React Native expertise

• Good product taste - works with CPO/co- founder; must have design sensibility.

Why join?

• Featured by OpenAI and likely Anthropic — Known was highlighted in OpenAI's features campaign for novel uses of their tooling and is benchmarking both OpenAI and Anthropic models on the frontier domain of matchmaking.

• 70% mutual acceptance rate — The product is already working. With 10k users in SF and two more markets launching before the fall, you'd be scaling something that's already validated, not building from zero.

• Work directly with elite ML leadership — You'd pair with Chen Peng (former head of ML at Uber Eats and Faire) and another senior ML lead who was pre-IPO at Airbnb. The caliber of people you'd learn from and build alongside is exceptional for a 15-person team, and the team prides itself on a flat structure.
