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.
