Frontend Engineer (react native + expo experience required)

We are a team of 5 incredibly driven and talented core members. We are looking for a frontend engineer who can keep up with us, and has the right energy and excitement to build a Unicorn with us. You must have 0-1/startup experience owning all of frontend development, deep expo + react native experience, and an insatiable drive to succeed and build. Our product is very design-heavy so if you have a keen eye and infatuation with pixel-perfect, clean UI development, you're in the right place. We are looking for a contractor to work on a retainer (full time hours for a couple months, as decided through further conversation together), with the potential to extend a full time founding frontend engineer offer by the end.

What is ARI: We are building the next-gen clothing shopping experience. We built an AI-driven virtual avatar named ARI who shops for fashion items across the internet, personalized to users' style. ARI leverages our proprietary recommendation system that detects nuanced personal style through numerous variables as well as conducting sentiment analysis over chat-bot conversations. ARI returns personalized clothing product recommendations sourced across the entire internet through vector search for users.

Partnered with industry giants William Morris Endeavor and IMG Models and backed by early investors such as Bloomberg Beta, 1517 VC, Z Fellows, co-founder of Venmo, CEO of Miss Universe, ex-CPO of Hinge, CS faculty @Stanford, AI/ML lead @ Apple, CTO of Linktree, ex-CMO of Bella Hadid’s Kin, @andrewyeung among others, we are positioned to win. We currently have an MVP built and are onboarding + collecting feedback from a small subset of our growing waitlist.

Founder: Lior Cole dropped out of Cornell CS to build full-time, she is also a worldwide IMG Model. See her TedxCornell talk with a very early ARI chat demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCRcIbdaCDk
