About Our Client
Picture this: a New York-based entrepreneur with a vision to create a minimalist meditation app that helps people find zen in their crazy-busy lives. With early market validation and a compelling concept, they're seeking a skilled developer to transform this idea into a killer MVP. This isn't just a job — it's a chance to be a founding team member and help shape a product that could change how people manage stress and find inner calm.
Role Overview
As our React Native Developer, you'll be the technical mastermind behind a meditation mobile app, working hand-in-hand with a non-technical founder to bring their vision to life. You'll be responsible for the entire MVP journey — from initial prototype to final deployment — and play a pivotal role in defining the app's future.
This is a part-time freelance gig with serious potential to evolve into a full-time role once we nail the MVP and prove market fit.

- Set up the technical architecture, development roadmap, and deployment strategy.
- Implement core features such as audio playback, user onboarding, daily reminders, and progress tracking.
- Provide input on UI/UX best practices and mobile usability.
- Ensure the app is performance-optimized and maintainable for future iterations.
- Set up basic analytics and usage tracking.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in mobile development, with a strong focus on React Native.
- Proven experience building and launching apps from scratch.
- Comfortable working independently and making technical decisions.
- Ability to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders.
- Familiarity with app deployment (App Store, Google Play).
- Experience with Firebase or other backend-as-a-service platforms is a plus.
- Passion for wellness, meditation, or personal development is a plus.
Hiring Process
- Online Technical Test – A short coding challenge to evaluate your core skills.
- Behavioral Interview & Portfolio Review – Get to know you better and review past projects.
- Interview with the Founder – Final conversation to align on vision, expectations, and working style.
