Job description

We are building a native mobile application and need a talented, passionate developer who lives and breathes vibe coding. You will receive a working base version of our app built on Replit, take ownership of third‑party service integrations, and drive the full deployment pipeline from Replit through Xcode to the Apple App Store.

This is NOT a traditional software engineering role. We want someone who moves fast, embraces AI‑assisted development, and has proven hands‑on experience getting real apps shipped to the app stores.

What You'll Do

• Receive our base Replit app and take full ownership of the codebase
• Integrate third‑party APIs and services (payments, auth, notifications, analytics, etc.)
• Configure native build pipelines — Xcode for iOS, Android Studio if applicable
• Handle code signing, provisioning profiles, entitlements, and App Store Connect submissions
• Troubleshoot build, runtime, and Apple review rejection issues
• Use AI tools (Cursor, Replit AI, Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) aggressively to ship faster
• Document your deployment process so our team can maintain the app going forward

You Are

• A true vibe coder — you ship fast, iterate constantly, and prompt your way through problems
• Experienced deploying React Native, Flutter, Capacitor, or similar apps to native iOS/Android
• Comfortable working in Replit and exporting to native environments
• Fluent in Xcode — provisioning, certificates, TestFlight, and App Store submissions are second nature
• A self‑starter who works independently, communicates clearly, and meets deadlines

Required Skills

• 2+ successful App Store submissions from end to end
• Xcode: signing certificates, provisioning profiles, build settings, App Store Connect
• Replit — comfortable working in and exporting from Replit projects
• React Native, Expo, Flutter, or Capacitor — at least one deeply
• Daily use of AI coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude, etc.)
• Portfolio or GitHub showing real shipped apps — links required

Third‑Party Integrations We May Need

• Stripe or RevenueCat (payments/subscriptions)
• Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Push Notifications)
• Analytics (Amplitude, Mixpanel, or Segment)
• Messaging (Twilio, SendGrid, or similar)

Nice to Have

• CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Bitrise, or EAS Build
• Startup or fast‑moving product environment experience

How to Apply

Send us a message with:

• Links to 2+ live apps you personally deployed to the App Store
• A brief description of your vibe coding workflow and AI tools you use daily
• Your availability and rough timeline estimate
• Your hourly rate or project‑based quote
