Senior Mobile Engineer at Forerunner-backed AI matchmaking startup
We are building the future of human connection by replacing the swipe-heavy culture of legacy dating apps with deep, AI-driven voice conversations. Backed by Forerunner Ventures (their first dating investment) and approaching a 9-figure Series A, we have already achieved an 80% success rate in our beta. This is a rare opportunity for a Senior Mobile Engineer to join an elite team—including former leaders from Apple and Tesla—in San Francisco. You will own the core mobile experience, applying everything you know about social dynamics and dating to build a product that finally solves ghosting and decision fatigue.
