Founding Full‑Stack Product Engineer (B2C iOS)
Location: London, Victoria
Hybrid working, 3 days in the office
Salary: Competitive
Zera is an AI personal podcast host that interviews world class experts, generating personalized 2-min podcasts to help people level up faster, anytime. We’re after a high‑agency builder who’s shipped iOS apps end‑to‑end, loves React Native + TypeScript, and treats growth experiments as core product work.
Why Zera feels different
This isn’t your typical full stack engineer role. The founder is the Managing Director & board member of a multi‑billion‑dollar MENA media company he took public last year; he’s now focused on Zera. You’ll partner with him, our tech lead, and a squad already shipping—ex‑Twitter and McKinsey team members. You’ll also jam with our product advisor, Tinder’s former CPO. Momentum is live; you’ll push the curve steeper.
About Us
* Our product aims to deliver a truly ambitious vision: supporting individuals to achieve a fulfilling life and unlock their immense potential through a uniquely personalized AI podcast experience.
* As we prepare for the full release of our recently launched private beta (already at Sean Ellis results of 60%+ and quickly rising), we are poised to transform the $67bn+ personal development market and improve the lives of hundreds of millions globally.
* We are looking for a dynamic Full Stack Product Engineer to join our team and help us elevate our product’s potential..
What you’ll tackle
* Lead the React Native iOS surface while diving into backend (Node/TypeScript, Python AI pipelines), and growth loops whenever it moves the metric.
* Prototype → Ship → Measure → Kill / Scale in days.
* Craft delightful mobile UX: micro‑animations, offline resilience, p95 performance.
* Jam with design & data—icon placement and retention funnels in the same sitting.
* Treat experiments as code: instrument, A/B, iterate, double‑down or delete.
You’ll thrive here if you…
* Have 3‑8 yrs building & shipping B2C iOS products, ideally at an early‑stage startup.
* Been through a 0→1 startup—even if it failed; battle scars welcome.
* You are scrappy and resourceful, willing to ship fast and iterate quickly.
* You exhibit good judgment and can make on-the-fly decisions about what “good” looks like.
* Think like a product engineer—balance design fidelity, technical trade‑offs, and user value in the same sentence.
* Spin up prototypes fast and delete half your code a week later without ego.
* Know React Native + TypeScript deeply; comfortable dropping to Swift/Obj‑C when needed.
* Navigate backend/infra enough to unblock yourself (Python, Google Cloud, Airflow).
Our Stack
* React Native + TypeScript · Python (AI) · Node/TypeScript · Postgres · GCP · Terraform · Google Cloud
What you get
* Competitive salary and benefits
* Immersion sprints in Silicon Valley — breathe the same air as the founders and investors pushing consumer AI forward.
* Direct mentorship from founder, tech lead, and Tinder’s ex CPO.
* Opportunity to grow into more—if you prove yourself, your responsibilities (and opportunities) will expand fast.
* Flexible work structure, including 3 days in person based in Victoria.
* Zero bureaucracy—only impact.
