Start Date: Mai 1, 2026

acemate is building an AI learning & teaching platform for higher and further education institutions. We have strong traction, secured funding and are entering an exciting growth phase. We're looking for a passionate Mobile App Developer (React Native) to drive our product forward and help us scale.

About acemate

Founded in 2024, acemate has quickly become the leading AI learning platform for higher and further education, trusted by top-tier institutions across four countries, including University of Cologne, WHU and the German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (IHKs).

• Our Mission: Democratizing access to personalized learning. We don’t believe that AI will replace educators. Instead, we empower them to design and deliver personalized learning experiences at scale.
• Our Growth: We've raised pre-seed funding and are growing rapidly. While we focus on higher and further education in the DACH area today, we're already expanding into new regions and markets.
• Our Culture: We’re a young, driven team passionate about tackling the toughest challenges in education. We embrace builder culture and minimize scheduled meetings for ad-hoc discussions and maximized focus on coding and creating.

Tasks

What You'll Do

As a Mobile Software Developer and a key early team member, you'll take strong ownership over our mobile architecture and user experience. You'll own the technical infrastructure behind our mobile app from start to finish, managing everything from UI architecture and state management to API integration and performance monitoring.

• Build the core product beyond the UI: You'll own every feature you ship. This means building smooth user journeys, managing complex local state, and ensuring top-tier, native-like performance. We expect you to build, deploy, and continuously improve what you deliver.
• Architect for scale and intelligence: You'll design scalable mobile architectures using modern patterns like MVVM or TCA, integrating them tightly with our Effect-based backend and AI systems. You'll tackle tough engineering challenges involving real-time synchronization, offline-first logic, and streaming AI responses.
• Push technical excellence: You'll identify and fix performance bottlenecks—like slow render cycles and app startup time—before they become problems. At the same time, you'll raise the bar for maintainability, type safety, and UX consistency across the entire codebase.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience with TypeScript & React Native.
• End-to-End Ownership: You don’t throw things over the wall. You own your features until they are running successfully in production and used by real learners.
• Startup experience: You’re comfortable in fast-paced, evolving environments
• Balanced AI approach: You knew how to code before Cursor and Claude Code, but understand how to leverage them effectively
• Product passion: High identification with our mission to transform education
