**Company:** [GovWell](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/govwell)
**Location:** New York, NY
**Role:** Mobile Engineering
**Salary:** $195k – $260k/yr

> Build and scale native mobile apps for government staff/field workers and residents at GovWell, focusing on offline-first, high-reliability experiences for permitting and licensing on iOS and Android. Requires production mobile shipping experience, strong product instincts, and comfort with ambiguity in a fast-growing startup.

## Job Description

## What you’ll do
- Build the field experience GovWell staff actually want to use — fast, reliable, and built for real conditions, not a scaled-down version of the web product.
- Make sure the work doesn't stop just because the signal does. Field staff should never lose progress or have to re-do something because they lost connectivity.
- Put permitting and licensing directly in residents' hands — simple enough that checking a permit status or submitting an application feels as easy as anything else on their phone.
- Help define what native mobile craft looks like at GovWell — this is a young product, and the standard you set now is the standard the product grows into.
- Shape what's next as mobile matures: new workflows, new capabilities, and how the staff and citizen experiences evolve relative to each other.

## Who you are
- Real experience shipping production mobile apps on iOS and/or Android.
- Comfortable owning ambiguous, early-stage decisions on a product that's growing quickly.
- You think about speed and friction obsessively — tap counts, load times, and the assumption your user might be standing outside, one-handed, in a hurry.
- Product instincts: you can help decide what to build next and why, not just execute a fully-specified ticket.
- You align closely with our Core Values.

## Our tech stack
- Native iOS (Swift, SwiftUI) and Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose)
- React, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, RedwoodJS, AWS (core platform, for API/backend context)
- OpenAI API

## Compensation and benefits
- Competitive base salary within $195,000 - $260,000.
- Equity / stock options.
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
- 401(k) program.
- Flexible PTO.
