Founding Engineer

We’re building the world’s first Portal Network, empowering users to instantly “be anywhere” on the open internet. Unlike traditional VPNs, which focus heavily and exclusively on privacy, our emphasis is on flexibility and unstoppable global access—unlocking geo-restricted content for 1.5bn+ users around the world. We’re proud members of the MegaMafia (the first set of builders in MegaETH’s incubation team—fastest L2 ever) and ambassadors for EigenLayer (pioneering some of the first real-world use cases).

As a founding engineer, you’ll shape the user-facing architecture, own the end-to- end mobile and desktop frontend experience, and help bring our ambitious vision to life alongside the founders. Join us early to build something innovative and impactful from the ground up.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the Frontend & Mobile Experience

  • Lead the development of high-performance cross-platform mobile applications (React Native or Flutter).
  • Implement responsive, visually appealing, and user-friendly interfaces that reflect our product’s mission and brand.

• Collaborate on Architecture & Deployment

  • Work closely with the CTO on backend integration to ensure smooth data flow and seamless deployments to the App Store and Google Play Store.
  • Optimize mobile performance, memory management, and battery efficiency across diverse device types.

• Drive UI/UX Excellence

  • Translate design mockups, wireframes, and prototypes into functional, pixel-perfect implementations.
  • Employ strong UI/UX best practices to deliver an intuitive and engaging user experience.

• Lead Testing & Quality Assurance

  • Utilize mobile testing frameworks (unit, integration, UI) to ensure the app meets high standards of reliability and performance.
  • Oversee release management and maintain efficient mobile deployment pipelines.

• Collaborate & Pivot as Needed

  • Partner with the co-founders in shaping product strategy and roadmaps.
  • Be ready to adapt swiftly to user feedback and evolving market conditions.

• Contribute to the Product Vision

  • Participate in brainstorming sessions to refine feature concepts and identify user needs.
  • Leverage prototyping tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, etc.) to explore rapid design iterations.

Who You Are:

• Proven track record building and deploying apps on React Native or Flutter.
• Deep understanding of mobile performance optimization, memory management, and best practices.
• Keen eye for design details and comfort collaborating with product designers.
• Solid grasp of user experience principles, with the ability to balance aesthetics and usability.
• Believes in the mission of tackling an existing market with a fresh new lens and is excited by the potential impact.
• Thrives in fast-paced, early-stage environments with minimal structure and a high degree of ambiguity.
• Embraces over-communication and transparency—especially when distributed across time zones.
• Comfortable wearing multiple hats—switching from coding new features one moment to brainstorming product-market fit the next.
• Willing to challenge assumptions and pivot quickly based on real-world usage or market insights.
• Enjoys close collaboration and sees feedback as an opportunity for growth.
• Communicates effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
