React Native Developer

Our Mission
Fuel customer growth through meaningful, intelligent, and safe user-to-user (and now, user-to-agent) engagement.
CometChat Overview
CometChat is a full-stack conversational platform built to unify every layer of interaction — bringing together real-time conversations (chat, messaging, voice, and video), AI Agents, moderation, notifications, and analytics in one modular, developer-first solution.
Our company has seen rapid growth, thanks to several market validations — including our participation in Techstars Boulder Accelerator in 2019, followed by investments from experienced investors such as iSeed Ventures, Range Ventures, Silicon Badia, and Matchstick Ventures. CometChat raised a Series A round from Signal Peak Ventures, bringing our total funding to $16M.
We believe the interface of the future is conversation — not clicks. Every app will soon have an AI layer that's as native as text messaging today. That's why we're building the infrastructure for the world's AI-powered conversations — from human-to-human, to human-to-agent, to multi-party collaboration with AI in the mix.
From AI onboarding assistants that get users productive in minutes, to copilots that perform complex workflows in-app, to intelligent moderators that protect and guide communities in real time — our AI Agent platform makes it all possible.
With CometChat's ready-to-use UI kits, powerful SDKs, and our Full Stack AI Agent Platform, product teams across startups and enterprises can launch safe, scalable, and smart in-app interactions faster than ever.
