Founded in 2015, Headway helps entrepreneurs and corporate innovators build businesses, not just apps, by working holistically with clients as an extension of their product team.

As a Senior Developer at Headway, you will be client and user-focused, diligently developing features and functionality guided by Headway's process.

Requirements

3+ years of paid, professional mobile development experience, including 1–2+ years with React Native
Experience with or willingness to learn native iOS and Android
Experience submitting and deploying apps to the App Store and Play Store
Excellent communication skills (verbal and written)
The ability to present your work and stand firm for the right reasons
Actively use AI to plan, build, and test software — and can explain what you delegated, what you verified, and why
Can work effectively with AI pair-programming tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Tidewave, and similar agentic/code-assisted workflows
Can turn product intent into high-signal prompts/artifacts (user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, architecture notes) that an AI-assisted workflow can execute against — including reviewing existing docs/code before kicking off the work
Comfortable planning/chatting in Claude Code (or equivalent) as a starting point for feature work; may also use project management tooling if helpful
Treat AI outputs as drafts: validate correctness (tests, types, runtime checks), security/privacy implications, accessibility, and performance
Can set up and maintain an AI-assisted feedback loop: Scaffolding changes rapidly, Generating test cases (unit, integration, E2E) and translating them into real tests, Running CI locally, Debugging with logs/traces, Feeding errors/logs/plans back into AI to continue the loop, Iterating with small diffs and frequent commits
Have good judgment about where AI helps vs. hurts (e.g., critical logic, security boundaries, unfamiliar codepaths) and can articulate tradeoffs
Can operate within real client constraints: IP/privacy boundaries, regulated data, and “bring your own model/tooling” limitations
