Job Description

**React Native Developer – Must Be Proficient with AI-Assisted Development**

**We're building a mobile app (Expo/React Native) for an established SaaS platform. This is a greenfield build — fresh codebase, modern stack.**

**Here's the deal:** We use AI heavily. Not as a buzzword — as the actual workflow. If you're not using Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, or similar AI coding tools **every single day**, this isn't the gig for you.

**What we expect:**

* You write code **with** AI, not in spite of it. We don't care if AI wrote 80% of your code — we care that it works, it's clean, and you understand every line of it.
* You can take a prompt, a spec, or a Figma screen and ship features fast because you're leveraging AI to move at 3-5x speed.
* You're comfortable with AI-generated code reviews, AI-assisted debugging, and AI-driven architecture decisions.
* You know when AI is giving you garbage and you fix it instead of blindly shipping it.

**Tech stack:** Expo, React Native, TypeScript, tRPC, offline-first sync patterns.

**Non-negotiables:**

* Show us your AI workflow. Screen recording, screenshots, whatever — prove you actually use these tools daily.
* No copy-paste proposals. If your application looks like a generic template you blast to 50 jobs, we're skipping it. Ironically, we'd respect it more if you used AI to write a _good_ personalized proposal.
* Include the word "buildmode" somewhere in your response so we know you read this.
* We will ask you to complete a small paid test task **using AI tools with screen recording**. No exceptions.

**About us:** Real product, real users, real revenue. We're not a startup fishing for free work. We pay fairly and on time. We just refuse to pay someone to mass-produce WordPress-era code like it's 2019.

If you live and breathe AI-assisted development and can prove it, we want to talk. If you think ChatGPT is "that thing my nephew uses," keep scrolling.

Short, aggressive on the AI filtering, and the hidden word + screen recording requirements will weed out 90% of the template-blasters. Want me to tweak anything?

**the app is already built, we had mern stack so now we switched to nextjs for backend using prisma. there are conversions already made we just need someone to check. this is like 10 hours per week MAYBE you can eve nsay how i write most of the code with ai and then we need someone to fine tune and fix and make sur ething work**

**Deciphered tech stack migration and part-time refinement needs**

**He wants me to rewrite the job post with the correct context - existing app being converted, not greenfield. He writes most of the code with AI, needs someone to clean up/fix/verify. Part-time ~10hrs/week.**

**Done**

**Part-Time React Native Dev – AI-Heavy Workflow, Code Review & Fixes (~10 hrs/week)**

**We have an existing React Native (Expo) mobile app that's being converted from a MERN stack backend to Next.js with Prisma/tRPC. The conversions are already in progress — we need a developer to review, fix, fine-tune, and make sure everything actually works.**

**Here's how this works:** I write most of the code myself using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.). I move fast. What I need is someone who can come behind me, review what's there, catch the stuff AI got wrong, fix bugs, clean up edge cases, and make sure the app is solid. Think of it as a QA-minded dev who can also ship fixes.

**You should be comfortable with:**

* Reading and understanding AI-generated code — because that's what you'll be reviewing
* Expo / React Native / TypeScript
* tRPC, Prisma, and general API integration patterns
* Identifying when AI wrote something dumb and knowing how to fix it properly
* Offline-first patterns and mobile-specific gotchas

**This is ~10 hours per week**, maybe less some weeks. Flexible schedule. We're not micromanaging your hours — we care about output.

**Non-negotiables:**

* You must use AI tools yourself. If you're not using Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, or similar daily, this won't be a fit. We don't want someone hand-typing everything at 1x speed when AI can get you to 80% in minutes.
* No generic proposals. If your application reads like you blasted it to 200 jobs, instant skip. Use AI to write a great personalized one — we'd actually respect that.
* Include the word "checkpoint" in your response so we know you actually read this.
* We'll ask for a small paid test task with screen recording showing your AI workflow. No exceptions.

**About us:** This is a real SaaS product with 8+ years of history. Real users, real revenue. We pay on time and we're easy to work with — we just won't tolerate someone billing 10 hours to do what AI can do in 20 minutes.

If you're fast, you use AI constantly, and you're good at catching problems in code you didn't write — let's talk.
