About The Position

As a mobile engineer at General Medicine, you'll help build and scale a healthcare store that makes it delightfully simple to shop for any type of care. We provide upfront cash and insurance prices for virtual and in-person visits, prescriptions, labs, imaging, and more. What we're looking for We're looking for a mobile engineer to build our first native mobile app using React Native. This is a foundational hire — you'll be responsible for helping to stand up the mobile app from scratch, making key architectural decisions, and setting the patterns that the rest of the team builds on top of. Our ideal candidate has shipped and maintained React Native apps in production, and deeply understands the boundaries between React Native and native iOS/Android. You should be comfortable dropping into Swift or Kotlin when needed — e.g. for HealthKit integrations, push notifications, or video calling SDKs — but spend most of your time in TypeScript and React. You should also be willing to work on our Next.js web frontend; we think of mobile and web as one surface area, not two separate teams. Beyond mobile expertise, we're looking for someone who cares deeply about technical excellence but is also comfortable moving quickly. We are constantly navigating tradeoffs between engineering velocity and quality. Our ideal candidate is hungry, high-agency, and aspires to be a generalist. Our engineers frequently write product requirements documents, write SQL to understand how features are performing, and own QA — no task is beneath us or outside of the scope of the role if it helps us to deliver a great product. We're looking for someone who can operate in an environment of significant ambiguity, and who is comfortable working closely with design, operations, and clinical stakeholders. We don't expect you to have a healthcare background (though it's great if you do!). However, you should be excited by the prospect of digging into the messy complexities of the American healthcare system (integrating with EHRs, revenue cycle management, etc). Please note that this role is based in either our SF office (near Market and Spear St) or our Boston office (Central Square, Cambridge). We expect our team to work from the office a minimum of 3 days per week, and ideally 4 or 5. Why join us We're an experienced team that has built a company in this space before, our product has clear product-market fit, and we've raised money from top investors. We have an ambitious and distinctive vision for what can be built in consumer healthcare. We believe LLMs and price transparency legislation have opened up several massive opportunities. If you're an ambitious and entrepreneurial mobile engineer and this resonates, please apply.

Requirements

3+ years of experience building mobile apps, with meaningful production experience in React Native
Strong understanding of native iOS and/or Android development (Swift, Kotlin) — you don't need to be an expert in both, but you should be comfortable with either
Experience with Expo, including build tooling, OTA updates, and native module configuration
Proficiency with TypeScript and React

Nice To Haves

Experience architecting shared code between mobile and web codebases (or a strong opinion on how to do it well)
Familiarity with modern backend frameworks is a plus — we use Ruby on Rails and Postgres
