About the Role

We're looking for a React Native Frontend Engineer who thrives on building beautiful, performant, and reusable mobile components. You'll be translating design handoffs into smooth, pixel-perfect in-app experiences that feel seamless for users.

About Us

At Liftoff, we're reimagining the way people stick to fitness. Our mobile app turns working out into a gamified experience, ranking lifts like a video game and visualizing progress through interactive features such as levels, streaks, quests, and an in-app shop.

We've grown to over 2 million users worldwide with a 4.9 App Store rating, fueled by metrics and community feedback. We move fast, learn even faster, and double down on what works. If shaping the future of fitness excites you, you'll love working with us.

  • Apply dynamic styling (CSS/Tailwind) to ensure fluid and consistent UIs

  • Maintain smooth navigation and transitions across screens

  • Implement Superwall paywalls from PRDs and existing components

  • Always ship performant, polished features while keeping the design language intact

  • Ship new features from PRD + Design → production

  • Collaborate with growth, design, and product to build viral experiences

  • Debug, test, and iterate quickly, we value working code and fast feedback

  • Document systems so your future self (and teammates) will thank you

  • Have strong experience with React Native, Expo, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS

  • Produce lean and scalable code

  • Love building polished UIs

  • Value performance and clean abstractions
