At Plume, we’re on a mission to radically transform healthcare access for the transgender and gender-nonconforming communities. As a trans-founded company, we're proud to be building a virtual care home that makes a difference in countless lives. Are you ready to be part of our growing team in the healthtech industry?
Available to over 1 million transgender individuals across 45 states, we're growing fast and need passionate, talented individuals like you to join our journey and help us to increase access to life-saving Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy and improve the lives of trans folks. If you have a heart-forward approach and resonate with our values, we'd love to hear from you!
Our Core Values:
? We Are Authentic: We opt for honest and direct conversations. We strive to be vulnerable and connect authentically.
? We Are Accountable: We follow up and commit to each other within the community and to ourselves.
? We Are Growth-Oriented: We take the initiative, we’re proactive learners, and we tackle new challenges.
? We Are Inclusive: We’re considerate of working across diverse experiences. Every voice is valuable in serving our vision. We have an unusual bias for seeking input.
? We Are Collaborative: We put “we” before I, we stay engaged and communicative when we disagree, and we can commit even if we’re not in complete agreement.
? We Are Trans-Informed: We ask “why?” and distrust the status quo. We honor awkwardness & experimentation over polish and how things have always been done.
If our mission and values speak to you, you're an experienced Mobile App Developer with React Native experience, and you have a deep understanding of the trans experience, we can't wait to meet you!
About the role:
Our next Mobile App Developer will help us transition from a lightly customizable, off-the-shelf application to fully integrated and customized native applications. This role is central to our commitment to bridging the gap between our current capabilities and our patients' needs, achieved by adopting a headless architecture where our front-end application interacts with our platforms via APIs. Our aim is to fully integrate various platforms into our application and prioritize depth of experience in mobile app development rather than expertise in specific technologies. You embody exceptional communication skills, analytical acuity, and the ability to adapt within a dynamic environment, maintaining high standards of personal and team performance.
You will shape the future of our mobile app capabilities, starting with iOS and extending to Android platforms. You’re a crucial partner in selecting the optimal tech stack/framework to support our development needs and will be involved in defining the application architecture and guiding a team of contributors. Your ability to effectively translate complex mobile app development concepts to those with less experience is key to our team's growth and success. As a beacon of knowledge and a proponent of continuous learning, your role will be essential in fostering a supportive environment that encourages curiosity, innovation, and professional development.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the creation of high-performing native Android and iOS applications, defining their structure and ensuring the code is efficient and scalable
- Mentor and guide a team of developers, sharing knowledge and providing constructive feedback to maintain a positive and collaborative work environment
- Ensure the efficient performance of our applications through debugging, troubleshooting, and optimization to ensure smooth functionality across various devices and platforms
- Design and implement an automated test suite, including unit tests and integration tests, to ensure high-quality tech performance and functionality
- In the first 30 days, design the architecture for a mobile app, including the selection of tools and technologies to be used
- In the first 30 days, implement the infrastructure for the mobile app, including setting up the skeleton of the project and establishing CI/CD pipelines
- In the first 30 days, in coordination with the product team, generate a roadmap outlining major milestones for mobile app development, associated delivery timelines, all the way up to the release of the mobile app into production and availability on appropriate app stores
- Establish coding standards, best practices, and coding guidelines, providing feedback on pull requests (PRs)
- Collaborate effectively with product owners, UX/UI designers, and other internal stakeholders to continually improve the apps, adding features based on feedback and business needs. Translate these improvements into individual user stories and tasks for other developers, ensuring clear and suitable acceptance criteria for each task
- Due to the nature of startups, this role is expected to be dynamic and may evolve to encompass additional duties and ad hoc projects as needed
Must Haves:
- 2+ years of experience in Node.js, with a preference for 3+ years
- 7+ years of experience as a Tech Lead, including defining the architecture, mentoring, coding guidelines, and PR feedback with a preference for 10+ years
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- 3+ years of experience leading teams in building native Android/iOS applications, with a preference for 7+ years
- Proven track record of defining architecture and building projects from scratch, not just iterating on existing codebases
- Understanding of app store submission, update management, and compliance process
- Ability to generate local development environments suitable for creating appropriate artifacts
- Experience with Swift, React/Native, and Flutter (less emphasis on the frameworks we are using, more emphasis on their experience building mobile apps)
- 1+ years of experience in Python, with a preference for 2-4+ years
