Mobile App Engineer (React Native)

Start Date: Mai 1, 2026

acemate is building an AI learning & teaching platform for higher and further education institutions. We have strong traction, secured funding and are entering an exciting growth phase. We're looking for a passionate Mobile App Developer (React Native) to drive our product forward and help us scale.

About acemate

Founded in 2024, acemate has quickly become the leading AI learning platform for higher and further education, trusted by top-tier institutions across four countries, including University of Cologne, WHU and the German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (IHKs).

• Our Mission: Democratizing access to personalized learning. We don’t believe that AI will replace educators. Instead, we empower them to design and deliver personalized learning experiences at scale.
• Our Growth: We've raised pre-seed funding and are growing rapidly. While we focus on higher and further education in the DACH area today, we're already expanding into new regions and markets.
• Our Culture: We’re a young, driven team passionate about tackling the toughest challenges in education. We embrace builder culture and minimize scheduled meetings for ad-hoc discussions and maximized focus on coding and creating.

Tasks

What You'll Do

Operating as a Mobile Software Developer and foundational team member, you will act as a primary product owner wielding substantial impact over our user experience and mobile architecture. You will assume complete end-to-end responsibility for the underlying systems driving our mobile capabilities, ranging from state management and UI architecture to performance monitoring and API integration.

• Develop the core product, beyond just the UI: You will assume absolute accountability for every feature you create. This involves crafting seamless user flows, handling complex local state, and guaranteeing a highly responsive, native-feeling performance. You construct it, deploy it, and iterate upon it.
• Engineer for intelligence and scalability: You will blueprint highly scalable mobile architectures (utilizing contemporary paradigms such as MVVM or TCA) that connect seamlessly with our Effect-based backend and AI systems. You will navigate the intricacies associated with real-time synchronization, offline-first logic, and streaming AI responses.
• Champion technical excellence: You will actively seek out and resolve performance bottlenecks—such as render cycles and app startup time—while simultaneously elevating standards for maintainability, type safety, and UX consistency throughout the complete codebase.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience with TypeScript & React Native.
• End-to-End Ownership: You don’t throw things over the wall. You own your features until they are running successfully in production and used by real learners.
• Startup experience: You’re comfortable in fast-paced, evolving environments
• Balanced AI approach: You knew how to code before Cursor and Claude Code, but understand how to leverage them effectively
• Product passion: High identification with our mission to transform education
