Role
Who you are
- This isn’t your first mobile product launch - you’ve done this before, you have strong opinions about architecture and design, and you know how to ship polished, high-performing apps
- Has deep experience with React Native, including end-to-end mobile app development and launch
- Is highly hands-on and can move quickly across both mobile and web
- Has worked on multiple consumer-facing products, ideally from scratch
- Cares deeply about design and user experience - has strong taste and the confidence to defend it
- Brings a senior mindset: sets direction, owns decisions, and gets things over the finish line
- Thrives in startup environments where they can be autonomous, opinionated, and fast-moving
Desirable
- Experience with native iOS/Android modules
- Exposure to LLMs, avatars, video, or AI/ML-powered products
- Familiarity with backend APIs, RAG pipelines, or GraphQL
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer (Frontend/Mobile) to be the technical driver of our new mobile experience
- This is a very hands-on role focused primarily on React Native, with occasional work in React for web
- You’ll take the lead on building our mobile app from the ground up, while also contributing to web-based interfaces and internal tools when needed
- You'll work closely with design, product, and engineering leadership to build intuitive and beautiful experiences, fast
- Own the development and delivery of our mobile app using React Native, from ideation to launch
- Jump into our existing React codebase when needed - especially on shared components and internal tools
- Partner closely with the design team to bring elegant interfaces to life and uphold a high UX bar
- Shape the direction of our mobile architecture, patterns, and development process
- Contribute across the full product stack as needed (especially if you lean toward full-stack experience)
- Drive key projects, such as:
- Building and launching core pages of the consumer app as part of a 0→1 product experience
- Redesigning our internal developer portal to support AI-powered RAG workflows and new data integrations
Our take
Tavus is an AI video cloning tool that uses synthetic media, more popularly known as ‘deepfakes’, for companies to produce customizable and scalable content. The platform enables businesses to create videos for marketing, outreach, sales, recruiting and more while tailoring them to specific individuals.
Other players in the field include Loom and Vidyard, both of which have proven the value of personalised videos for businesses, but whose services take time. Tavus is scalable as its platform can generate thousands of personalised videos in the time it would take to record just one. The videos generated currently come with imperfections, notably the lip-syncing and video-cloning, which Tavus tenuously claims create more engaging content.
Synthetic media was called upon heavily during the pandemic, as companies created AI-copilots that could host conferences and pitches remotely, so it will be interesting to see how this industry continues to grow as time goes on. Tavus is young, but is expanding quickly with new products like its Phoenix-3 and Raven-0 models, having been backed by Sequoia and Y Combinator, amongst other top firms. Off the back of 2024 Series A funding, it has the means to accelerate development and growth.
