About The Company

Built In One is a revolutionary technology startup on a mission to unify, simplify, and build the future of the gig economy. We are disrupting the traditional industry by creating a seamless, app-based marketplace that connects customers with reliable, on-demand gig worker professionals. We are fast-paced, data-driven, and people-first.

About The Team

The Engineering team is the backbone of Built In One. We build and maintain the technology that powers our two-sided marketplace, ensuring seamless experiences for both gig seekers and clients. We are collaborative problem solvers who take ownership of our code, ship frequently, and iterate based on real user feedback.

About the Role

Time Commitment & Engagement :  This is a part-time contractor role, expected to average 10–15 hours per week.

Work will be milestone-driven with clearly scoped deliverables.

This role is ideal for an experienced mobile developer who can work independently and ship incrementally without requiring daily oversight.

As a React Native Mobile Developer, you will be responsible for building our native mobile application from the ground up. Your primary mission is to bring the full Built In One marketplace experience to iOS and Android, enabling gig workers and clients to connect, communicate, and transact from anywhere. You will work with our existing Supabase backend and Stripe Connect payment infrastructure, focusing on delivering a polished, performant, and intuitive mobile experience.

Note : A fully functional web application already exists, which you can reference for features, user flows, and design patterns.

What You'll Do

• Build the Mobile App : Build a production-ready React Native application for iOS and Android, prioritizing core marketplace features with phased parity to the existing web platform.
• Implement Core Marketplace Features : Build screens and flows for user authentication, gig browsing / posting, application management, real-time messaging, and payment processing.
• Integrate with Existing Backend : Connect to our Supabase backend (PostgreSQL, Auth, Edge Functions) and Stripe Connect payment infrastructure using their React Native SDKs.
• Push Notifications : Implement push notification system for real-time alerts on new messages, gig applications, payment updates, and work status changes.
• Camera & Media Upload : Enable users to capture and upload profile photos, work samples, and documentation directly from their devices.
• Location Services : Implement location-based features for finding local gigs and enabling geographic matching between clients and providers.
• Deep Linking & OAuth : Handle OAuth callbacks (Google Sign-In, Stripe Connect onboarding) via deep linking, ensuring smooth authentication flows that return users to the app.
• App Store Deployment : Prepare and submit the application to both Apple App Store and Google Play Store, managing the review process and ensuring compliance with platform guidelines.
• Performance Optimization : Ensure smooth animations, fast load times, and efficient memory usage across a wide range of devices.
• Code Quality : Write clean, maintainable code with proper error handling and testing coverage.
