Imagine you want to redesign your home and have been searching for new tiles for your kitchen, or a new rug for your living room. Simply upload a picture of your room using your mobile phone, and slide the rug under your coffee table: You are an experienced mobile engineer who cares deeply about building exceptional consumer products. You are energized by 0-to-1 product development and the opportunity to turn an idea into a product used by real customers.

You bring an entrepreneurial mindset to engineering: you move quickly, take ownership beyond your immediate technical responsibilities, challenge assumptions, and focus relentlessly on building something users love. This role will have the autonomy and ownership of an early-stage product team, backed by the technology, resources, and reach of an established company. You are excited by the opportunity to help build a recent product and team from the ground up and to have an outsized influence on both its technical direction and its success in the market.

You enjoy solving ambiguous problems and making foundational technical decisions. You are comfortable starting with a blank slate, establishing patterns and standards, and helping grow a team around the architecture you create. You lead through technical judgment and execution.

You are willing to get deeply involved in implementation while also mentoring others, shaping engineering practices, and working closely with Product and Design to create a world-class consumer experience. We are currently leaning toward React Native and Expo because of their development velocity, cross-platform capabilities, and alignment with our existing React and TypeScript expertise. We are open to building parts of the application—or the application itself—using native Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin/Jetpack Compose if that produces a meaningfully better product.

TypeScript, React,



Next.js Python, Django PostgreSQL AWS Computer vision and generative AI systems Lead the architecture and development of a greenfield iOS and Android consumer application from its earliest stages through launch and scale. Operate with a high degree of autonomy, rapidly prototyping ideas, validating technical approaches, making pragmatic tradeoffs, and turning ambiguous product opportunities into shipped experiences. Help make foundational technology decisions, including the appropriate balance between React Native/Expo and native Swift/Kotlin development.

Build a polished, responsive, and highly intuitive consumer experience with a strong focus on performance, usability, interaction design, and attention to detail. Contribute beyond implementation by helping shape product direction, identifying opportunities, challenging assumptions, and using customer feedback and real-world usage to improve the product. Establish mobile engineering standards, architecture patterns, development workflows, testing strategies, observability, and release processes.

Design and implement core mobile capabilities, including camera and photo library interactions, image-heavy experiences, gestures, animations, sharing, notifications, deep linking, and application lifecycle management. Identify areas where native platform APIs or implementations provide meaningful advantages and build or guide the development of native modules where appropriate. Own application performance, reliability, startup time, memory usage, rendering performance, and behaviour across a wide range of iOS and Android devices.

Work closely with backend, computer vision, and AI teams to integrate Leap Tools' existing capabilities into a seamless consumer experience. Provide technical leadership through architecture reviews, code reviews, prototyping, and hands-on development. Mentor engineers and help build out a high-performing mobile engineering team as the product grows.
