• Influence product direction at the ground floor within a small, elite engineering team composed of former Uber, Cash App, and Afterpay leads.

What you will do:

• Architect and own the primary conversational AI interface and profile generation systems that facilitate deep user discovery.
• Implement high-fidelity mobile features for match introductions and seamless date scheduling using modern mobile frameworks.
