About the Role
On Me is revolutionizing gifting for the mobile and Instagram era, making it easy to send personalized, media-rich gifts that are spendable across brands and fit someone's hobbies. We are rebuilding gifting for the mobile era and are looking for engineers to help build world-class iOS and Android apps that people love, offering meaningful ownership, clear consumer product impact, and the chance to set engineering standards early.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and ship native iOS and/or Android features using Swift and Kotlin.
- Build high-quality, fluid mobile UIs with attention to polish, animation, responsiveness, loading, and error states.
- Architect and evolve mobile codebases for maintainability, testability, and performance.
- Integrate with backend APIs and collaborate on API design to support mobile use cases.
- Collaborate with product, design, and the rest of the team to translate fuzzy goals into concrete flows and shipped features.
- Drive mobile architectural decisions to support scaling to hundreds of thousands of users.
- Set up and evolve crash reporting, performance monitoring, and release tooling for mobile apps.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience building and shipping native mobile apps.
- Proficiency in Swift (iOS) and/or Kotlin (Android), with strong experience in at least one and working knowledge of the other.
- Strong product and UX mindset: think from the user's point of view and care about end‑to‑end flows, not just screens.
- Deep understanding of mobile platform conventions, lifecycle management, and performance optimization.
- Experience with mobile CI/CD, automated testing, and release management (TestFlight, Play Console).
- Solid understanding of API integration, data modeling, and how systems fail in practice.
- Ability to take ownership of projects from vague problem → design → implementation → launch and iteration.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills in a fast-paced startup environment.
