Hire a Mobile Developer.
Ship native-feeling iOS and Android apps — on React Native, Flutter, or platform-native code.
Pre-vetted, full-time dedicated, with HR & payroll handled.
Overview
What a Mobile Developer actually does.
Mobile developers we place work on the apps your users touch every day. We vet for platform fluency (lifecycles, permissions, store policies) and for the discipline to handle offline, flaky network, and battery — the unglamorous part of mobile work.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain iOS / Android apps
- Own release pipelines to the App Store and Play Store
- Handle offline state, caching, and flaky-network edge cases
- Instrument crash reporting and analytics
- Pair with designers on motion and native feel

How We Vet This Role
Role-scoped, not one-size-fits-all.
Mobile candidates ship a small feature against a sample RN or Flutter repo and walk us through how they'd handle offline, flaky network, and store review.
