About the role
Whiskey Social is a mobile app for whiskey fans. I'm hiring one senior React Native engineer: contract, remote within the US, starting in October. Direct contract with you only. No agencies, C2C or subcontracting. You'd be the only engineer, working directly with the founders, Adam Bancroft and Jerry Corley, and me (Aaron McElroy, Chief Product Officer).
What you'll do:
- Read the code first, then tell me what you'd fix first and why
- Own the technical decisions across the React Native app and the serverless AWS backend
- Help implement ai vision and personal intelligence features
- Work from tickets written against the code itself, and push back when one is wrong
- Ship to both app stores
- What you bring
- You've shipped React Native and Expo to both stores
- You've run serverless AWS in production: AppSync, DynamoDB, Lambda, Cognito
- You use AI coding tools every day and check what they hand back before it ships
- You've inherited a codebase before and left it better
- You don't need to know whiskey. We do.
How to apply:
Apply through LinkedIn only. Please include a link to a production app you shipped and your GitHub profile. Our process: a short live video call (camera on) with ID verification, then a small paid trial project. We never ask for payment, recorded video submissions, or remote-desktop access.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
