Full-Stack Founding Engineer

Every solopreneur delivering a human-led service today is duct-taping five tools together just to get paid. Xuman.AI is replacing all of them. One AI-native operating system where content becomes discovery, discovery becomes booking, and booking becomes a relationship that compounds. We are live on both app stores with a real product, real architecture, and hard problems left to solve. If you are looking for a place where you can build fast, use AI as a force multiplier, and see your work in production within days - keep reading.

What you will own: - The mobile experience of a live consumer product on both app stores (Expo / React Native, TypeScript) - End-to-end feature delivery - you build the screen AND extend the API when needed (NestJS backend) - UX quality: animations, transitions, loading states, error handling, responsiveness - Real-time features: live video, WebSocket, push notifications - Performance across iOS and Android - Collaboration with the frontend lead to scale and improve 80+ existing screens

What we are looking for: - 1-5 years of experience with React Native or Expo and TypeScript - You have shipped at least one mobile app to production (App Store or Play Store) - Comfortable extending backend services, not just consuming APIs - Experience with native navigation patterns and complex list rendering - Understanding of mobile performance: virtualized lists, image optimization, lazy loading - Experience with real-time features (WebSocket, push notifications, live updates) - You use AI tools (Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT) daily to write, debug, and ship faster. Not optional - this is how we work. - Active builder - you maintain side projects, contribute to open source, or ship things outside of work - Strong product instinct and attention to interface detail

Why join Xuman.AI: You are joining at the foundation. You will shape the product experience for thousands of solopreneurs and the people they serve. Equity discussion starts at 90 days based on impact - and at this stage, equity actually means something. The kind of ownership and breadth that only exists before a company scales.

How to apply: We do not review resumes. We review how you think. Record a 5-7 minute video (YouTube unlisted or Google Drive) and email the link to Vishal@xuman.ai with subject "Full-Stack Engineer - [Your Name]". Part A (2 min): Who are you? What is the best thing you have built with React Native? Show it if you can. What do you care about when building mobile apps that most engineers ignore? Part B (3-5 min): Download the app (App Store / Google Play) and explore xuman.ai. Then answer on camera: (1) What is one thing about the UX you would improve immediately and why? (2) How would you approach building a new feature from scratch - walk us through your thinking. (3) How do you handle unclear designs when the founder is busy? Also include: a link to your GitHub profile or a mobile app you have built (App Store / Play Store link or repo). No video = no review. We review every submission personally within 48 hours.
