Software Engineer, Applications
About The Position
Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI. They design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI and robotics teams. Their work sits at the intersection of software, operations, and real-world execution — where reliability, speed, and quality all matter. Their applications are used by hundreds of thousands of users every day — internally and externally — and sit at the center of a complex coordination layer spanning people ops, hardware, devices, logistics, and data. This role is for a Software Engineer, Applications to build and own the mobile and web software that powers Mecka's operations. This is a mobile-first engineering role with full stack scope. The engineer will build and maintain React Native and Swift-based mobile apps, as well as the internal and external web applications they connect to. The mobile apps are deeply integrated with web tooling, control planes, and operational workflows that run the business. This role is ideal for someone who thinks in mobile first, understands the complexity of recording-heavy mobile systems, and can move across the full stack with confidence.
Requirements
- 3+ years of software engineering experience with a strong mobile foundation
- Proficiency in Swift and/or Kotlin — you understand native mobile deeply
- Experience building and shipping React Native mobile apps in production
- Deep understanding of mobile recording systems — camera, audio, sensor pipelines, buffering, and performance constraints
- Full stack competence — comfortable building APIs, backend services, and web UIs
- A strong individual contributor who can own features end-to-end
- Comfortable with operational complexity and building for real-world workflows
- Pragmatic — you ship clean, reliable software and don't over-engineer
- A clear communicator who works well across engineering and non-engineering teams
- Energized by systems that matter — software used by real people doing real work, every day
Nice To Haves
- You think mobile-first — web is an extension of mobile, not the other way around
- Experience with high-throughput, data-capture-heavy applications
- Experience in startup or operationally complex environments
- Familiarity with field-facing or worker-facing internal tooling
- Experience building software that coordinates across hardware, devices, or physical workflows
Responsibilities
- Own and build features in our React Native and Swift mobile apps, used daily by a large and growing user base
- Implement and maintain mobile recording systems — audio, video, sensor, and data capture flows
- Optimize for performance, reliability, and battery/bandwidth efficiency at scale
- Manage device-specific constraints across iOS and Android environments
- Build and maintain internal and external web applications that link with and extend our mobile tooling
- Own end-to-end features across frontend and backend — from UI to APIs to data layer
- Build control planes, dashboards, and operator tooling that integrate with mobile apps
- Collaborate closely with people ops, hardware, device, logistics, and data teams to build software that fits real operational workflows
- Translate messy, real-world operational requirements into clean, scalable software
- Support onboarding, device workflows, and field operations tooling
- Build software that performs at scale with hundreds of thousands of daily users
- Implement robust error handling, logging, and observability for mobile and web systems
- Ship fast without compromising reliability in production-critical systems
