Mobile Application Developer

Before You Apply — A Message from Our FounderFor generations, women have navigated systems never built with them in mind. The gaps in leadership, health, wealth, and opportunity were engineered into the world we inherited—and now, for the first time, we have the tools to build something better. AI gives us the chance to design technology that truly partners with the women and organizations working tirelessly to advance women and girls. Being trusted to do this work is both a privilege and a responsibility, and I am looking for people who feel that responsibility as deeply as I do. Uplevyl is not a conventional workplace. We have a distinct culture. We exist to create meaningful impact for society, and we hold ourselves to a standard of moving fast while delivering quality that endures. We partner only with those who share our commitment to doing important work, and we build technology that opens doors, expands opportunity, and enables more people to participate and benefit. We hire only A-players and compensate them accordingly. We do not compromise on talent, and we part ways respectfully when performance does not meet the standards required by our mission. Everyone at Uplevyl wears multiple hats. No task is beneath anyone. Decisions are driven by merit, not hierarchy. We prioritize customers over internal convenience, avoid politics, and maintain zero tolerance for unnecessary bureaucracy. We move with urgency because the mission demands it. When the work calls for it, we stretch beyond traditional hours—not out of obligation, but out of genuine commitment to building something transformative. We look for people energized by bold problems, people who find meaning in momentum and possibility, and who bring a proactive, high-ownership mindset to everything they do. If you thrive in environments where innovation, purpose, and high standards come together, you will feel at home at Uplevyl. About The RoleWe are looking for a Senior React Native Developer who brings in-depth experience across React Native, along with strong proficiency in native Android (Java/Kotlin) and iOS (Objective-C/Swift).
