Requirements
The ideal candidate can launch a first version of an app from idea to production in approximately 3 days, with an additional 2 days for App Store review and fixes. They should have experience building and launching several apps, possess personal working repositories for reuse, and have a strong design sense for producing tasteful UI independently. A good understanding of frontend, backend, state management, authentication, database structure, and basic security discipline is required, along with strong prompt engineering skills for AI coding agents and the ability to debug and refactor AI-generated code. Practical understanding of App Store review, TestFlight, IAP/RevenueCat, analytics, and crash reporting is a strong plus.
Description
About The RoleWe are building a consumer app studio focused on launching and testing new AI-native app ideas quickly.We are looking for an AI Product Builder — someone who can take a rough product idea and turn it into a real, usable, production-ready app within days.This is not a traditional software engineering role where detailed product specs, wireframes, and tickets are prepared in advance. The ideal candidate should be comfortable working from incomplete ideas, making product and UI decisions independently, and using AI coding tools to accelerate development.Internally, we call this role a Vibe Coder — but the real requirement is simple:Can you shipWhat You Will DoYou will operate as the Mini-CTO within a 3-person app cell unit, working alongside a Product Lead and a GTM Lead to build and launch new consumer apps from idea to production.Responsibilities IncludeTurn rough app ideas into working MVPs quicklyBuild first versions of mobile / web apps within short sprint cyclesUse AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, v0, Replit, or similarMake practical product decisions without waiting for full specificationsDesign clean, modern, usable interfaces without needing every screen to be fully designed by someone elseSet up basic backend, authentication, database, payments, analytics, and deploymentPrepare apps for TestFlight / App Store submissionMaintain reusable app frameworks and repositories for future launchesRefactor and clean up AI-generated code after fast buildsWork closely with GTM / content teammates to test real user demandWhat We Are Looking ForThe Ideal Candidate Should HaveAbility to launch a first version of an app from idea to production in around 3 days, with another 2 days reserved for App Store review / fixesExperience building and launching several apps alreadyPersonal working repositories that can be reused as references for future appsStrong design sense and ability to produce tasteful UI independentlyGood understanding of frontend, backend, state management, authentication, and database structureBasic security discipline, including no hardcoded secrets, no exposed keys, proper environment variable usage, and reasonable access controlStrong prompt engineering ability for AI coding agentsAbility to debug, refactor, and improve AI-generated codePractical understanding of App Store review, TestFlight, IAP / RevenueCat, analytics, and crash reporting is a strong plusImportant MindsetWe are not looking for someone who only knows how to ask AI to write code.We Are Looking For Someone Who CanThink like a product personBuild like an engineerDesign like a modern consumer app creatorShip like an indie hackerClean up like a responsible developerYou Should Be Able To Say Things LikeThis feature is too heavy for v1.This onboarding flow has too much friction.We can fake this first to test demand.This needs to be moved to the backend for security.This repo can become reusable for the next app.Suggested Tech StackExperience With Some Of The Following Is PreferredReact / Next.jsReact Native / Expo / CapacitorSupabase / FirebaseRevenueCat / StripeVercel / App Store Connect / TestFlightCursor / Claude Code / Lovable / v0Sentry / PostHog / Firebase AnalyticsWhy This Role Is DifferentThis role sits between product, design, and engineering.A normal developer waits for tickets.A product designer waits for a brief.A Vibe Coder turns a raw idea into something users can touch.If you have already built apps yourself, keep reusable repositories, and enjoy shipping fast with AI tools, this role may fit you very well.How to ApplyInterested Candidates Can DM WithApps you have builtGitHub / portfolio / demo linksAI coding tools you use
