@ TaPal
About this role As a founding Senior Mobile Engineer at Overtone, you will build and own the mobile experience at the heart of a new kind of dating service—one centered on real-time voice, AI-driven insight, and trust. You'll be an early engineering hire with significant responsibility for mobile architecture, performance, and direction as we take our product from early to production-grade and beyond. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You'll work closely with product, design, and engineering to ship a polished, voice-first consumer app on iOS. What You'll Do Core mobile infrastructure: Own and evolve the foundational mobile architecture for a consumer voice-first product in React Native (with native iOS code where applicable), with a focus on performance, reliability, and long-term flexibility. Production readiness & release pipeline: Drive the work that gets us to and through App Store review—push notifications, TestFlight workflows, submission processes, and the operational discipline of maintaining a production mobile app. Component quality & polish: Set a high bar for component architecture, animation, and interaction detail. Partner closely with our incoming designer to establish a shared design language and ensure the app feels native, intentional, and alive. Voice & real-time experiences: Build smooth, low-latency voice interaction flows and integrate streaming audio capabilities into a seamless native-feeling experience on iOS. AI feature integration: Bring AI-powered features to life on the client—integrating with our FastAPI backend and LLM systems to create personalized, context-aware experiences that feel intelligent without feeling robotic. Experimentation & A/B testing: Build and own the event instrumentation and experimentation infrastructure that lets us run structured tests, measure what's working, and move with confidence. Platform quality & performance: Own the mobile experience end-to-end—app state management, offline handling, and the polish that makes a consumer app feel trustworthy and alive. Security & privacy by design: Build with user data protection and privacy as first-class concerns, especially in a product where people share deeply personal information. Technical ownership: Help set mobile engineering standards, make architectural tradeoffs, and establish a culture of pragmatic, high-quality engineering
