Mobile Developer

The Role
We're hiring a Mobile Developer to join our Product team and build the mobile app for Gradely's AI Tutor — taking it from the ground up alongside our engineering and design team. This is a foundational role: you won't just be implementing screens against a spec, you'll help shape how the app is architected, how it performs, and how AI-driven tutoring feels in the hands of a student. You'll work closely with our engineering team to ship a fast, reliable, and genuinely well-crafted learning experience. We're open on framework and on seniority — what matters most is that you can build and ship a high-quality mobile product, and make sound calls about how to get there.

What You'll Do
• Build the AI Tutor mobile app: design and develop the mobile application end to end, from architecture decisions through to shipped, polished features.
• Own technical decisions: make informed calls on framework, structure, and tooling in collaboration with the team — we're open on stack (native, React Native, Flutter, or otherwise) and want someone who can help us choose well.
• Integrate AI-driven features: work with backend/AI engineers to bring adaptive, AI-powered tutoring
experiences to life on mobile — handling real-time interactions, personalised content, and performance at scale.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: work closely with Product and Design to translate learning experience
goals into smooth, intuitive mobile interactions, and with Backend Engineering on APIs and data flow.
• Ensure quality and performance: write clean, tested, maintainable code; monitor and improve app
performance, stability, and load times across devices.
• Ship iteratively: work in fast cycles — release, gather feedback (from users and internal team), and
improve continuously, especially through the AI Tutor's early launch phase.
• Contribute to team practices: as an early mobile hire, help set the standards, tooling, and processes the mobile function will run on as we scale.

What We're Looking For
• Solid experience building and shipping mobile applications — we're open to mid-level through senior
candidates; what matters most is demonstrated ability to build and ship real products, not years alone.
• Proficiency in at least one mobile development approach: native (Swift/Kotlin), React Native, Flutter, or equivalent — we're open on stack and interested in your reasoning for what you'd choose for a project like this.
• Experience integrating apps with backend APIs and handling real-time or dynamic content — experience with AI/ML-powered features is a strong plus.
• A track record of shipping apps to the App Store and/or Google Play, including handling the practicalities of release, versioning, and updates.
• Strong understanding of mobile performance, UX best practices, and building for varied devices and
network conditions — relevant given our users span different connectivity environments.
• Comfortable working in a lean, fast-moving startup team — able to work independently, make pragmatic calls, and communicate clearly with non-technical teammates.
• Genuine interest in education/edtech and building products that meaningfully help students learn is a strong plus.
