### What You'll Do

* Develop product loops that encourage people to return to the app.
* Use product data and user conversations to evaluate features and improve the experience.
* Stay involved with the product after launch and refine what is not working.

### What We're Looking For

* Experience shipping mobile apps used by real people, with work that can be reviewed in an app store or similar setting.
* Experience designing visual and interaction details and implementing the resulting product code.
* Hands-on experience with Flutter, Swift, or Kotlin for mobile development.
* Familiarity with Firebase and TypeScript.
* Strong attention to detail, initiative in an open-ended environment, and the ability to use AI tools while understanding the code you ship.
