<p>acemate is building an AI learning &#x26; teaching platform for higher and further education institutions. We have strong traction, secured funding and are entering an exciting growth phase. We're looking for a passionate <strong>Mobile App Developer (React Native)</strong> to drive our product forward and help us scale.</p>
<p><strong>About acemate</strong></p>
<p>Founded in 2024, acemate has quickly become the leading AI learning platform for higher and further education, trusted by top-tier institutions across four countries, including <strong>University of Cologne</strong>, <strong>WHU</strong> and the <strong>German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (IHKs)</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Our Mission:</strong> Democratizing access to personalized learning. We don’t believe that AI will replace educators. Instead, we empower them to design and deliver personalized learning experiences at scale.</li>
<li><strong>Our Growth:</strong> We've raised pre-seed funding and are growing rapidly. While we focus on higher and further education in the DACH area today, we're already expanding into new regions and markets.</li>
<li><strong>Our Culture:</strong> We’re a young, driven team passionate about tackling the toughest challenges in education. We embrace builder culture and minimize scheduled meetings for ad-hoc discussions and maximized focus on coding and creating.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<p><strong>What You'll Do</strong></p>
<p>Working as a <strong>Mobile Software Developer</strong> and a crucial early member of the team, you will act as a primary product owner holding substantial sway over our user experience and mobile architecture. You will assume complete end-to-end responsibility for the technical infrastructure driving our mobile capabilities, covering all aspects from UI architecture and state management to API integration and performance monitoring.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Develop the core product, going further than just the UI:</strong> You will assume absolute accountability for every feature you create. This entails crafting seamless user journeys, handling intricate local state, and guaranteeing exceptional, native-like performance. You are expected to construct, deploy, and perpetually iterate on your work.</li>
<li><strong>Design for intelligence and scalability:</strong> You will blueprint immensely scalable mobile architectures (utilizing contemporary paradigms such as MVVM or TCA) that seamlessly connect with our Effect-based backend and AI systems. You will navigate the intricacies of real-time synchronization, offline-first logic, and streaming AI responses.</li>
<li><strong>Drive technical excellence:</strong> You will preemptively spot and resolve performance constraints—such as render cycles and app startup time—while concurrently elevating the standards for maintainability, type safety, and UX consistency throughout the whole codebase.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<p><strong>What We're Looking For</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Strong experience</strong> with TypeScript &#x26; React Native.</li>
<li><strong>End-to-End Ownership:</strong> You don’t throw things over the wall. You own your features until they are running successfully in production and used by real learners.</li>
<li><strong>Startup experience</strong>: You’re comfortable in fast-paced, evolving environments</li>
<li><strong>Balanced AI approach:</strong> You knew how to code before Cursor and Claude Code, but understand how to leverage them effectively</li>
<li><strong>Product passion:</strong> High identification with our mission to transform education</li>
