Role Overview
We are looking for a Frontend Engineer (React Native) who goes beyond just implementing designs. This role is for someone who can own the frontend experience end-to-end, actively drive product requirements, and collaborate closely with customers, operations teams, and founders.

Customer-facing apps
Delivery/driver applications
Work directly with founders, product, and business teams to:

Experience with
State management (Redux, Zustand, or similar)
REST APIs and async data handling
Responsive and mobile-first design
Practical understanding of Android and iOS app lifecycle (build → release → monitoring → iteration), with the ability to proactively handle production readiness and debug real-world issues
Ability to work in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
Strong ownership mindset — you don’t wait for instructions
Good communication skills and ability to work with cross-functional stakeholders
Product thinking: you care about why something is built, not just how
Nice to Have
Experience building consumer-facing or logistics apps
Familiarity with performance optimization and frontend architecture
Experience working in early-stage startups
Basic understanding of backend systems / APIs
What Sets This Role Apart
Work directly with founders — no layers
High ownership: you will shape the product, not just code it
Opportunity to lead the frontend for both customer and driver apps
Fast learning curve and real impact from day one
Who This Role Is NOT For
Someone who waits for detailed specs before starting
Someone who prefers strictly defined tasks with no ambiguity
Someone who is only interested in coding, not product
Why Join Us
Build something from 0 → 1 in quick commerce
High ownership, high impact role
- Opportunity to grow into a frontend/product leader
