Lead Front-End Engineer (B2C mobile)

Location: London, Victoria

Hybrid working, 3 days in the office

Salary: Competitive

Why Zera feels different

This isn’t your typical full stack engineer role. The founder is the Managing Director & board member of a multi‑billion‑dollar MENA media company he took public last year; he’s now focused on Zera. You’ll partner with him, our tech lead, and a squad already shipping—ex‑Twitter and McKinsey team members. You’ll also jam with our product advisor, Tinder’s former CPO. Momentum is live; you’ll push the curve steeper.

About Us

• Our product aims to deliver a truly ambitious vision: supporting individuals to achieve a fulfilling life and unlock their immense potential through a uniquely personalized AI podcast experience.
• As we prepare for the full release of our recently launched private beta (already at Sean Ellis results of 60%+ and quickly rising), we are poised to transform the $67bn+ personal development market and improve the lives of hundreds of millions globally.
• We are looking for a dynamic Full Stack Product Engineer to join our team and help us elevate our product’s potential..

What you’ll tackle

• Lead the React mobile surface while diving into backend (Node/TypeScript, Python AI pipelines), and growth loops whenever it moves the metric.
• Prototype → Ship → Measure → Kill / Scale in days.
• Craft delightful mobile UX: micro‑animations, offline resilience, p95 performance.
• Jam with design & data—icon placement and retention funnels in the same sitting.
• Treat experiments as code: instrument, A/B, iterate, double‑down or delete.

You’ll thrive here if you…

• Have 3‑8 yrs building & shipping B2C mobile products, ideally at an early‑stage startup.
• Been through a 0→1 startup—even if it failed; battle scars welcome.
• You are scrappy and resourceful, willing to ship fast and iterate quickly.
• You exhibit good judgment and can make on-the-fly decisions about what “good” looks like.
• Think like a product engineer—balance design fidelity, technical trade‑offs, and user value in the same sentence.
• Spin up prototypes fast and delete half your code a week later without ego.
• Know React + TypeScript deeply; comfortable dropping to Swift/Obj‑C when needed.
• Navigate backend/infra enough to unblock yourself (Python, Google Cloud, Airflow).

Our Stack

• React + TypeScript · Python (AI) · Node/TypeScript · Postgres · GCP · Terraform · Google Cloud

What you get

• Competitive salary and benefits
• Immersion sprints in Silicon Valley — breathe the same air as the founders and investors pushing consumer AI forward.
• Direct mentorship from founder, tech lead, and Tinder’s ex CPO.
• Opportunity to grow into more—if you prove yourself, your responsibilities (and opportunities) will expand fast.
• Flexible work structure, including 3 days in person based in Victoria.
• Zero bureaucracy—only impact.

If you're an ambitious full stack product Engineer eager to work on groundbreaking technology and make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.
