About Liftoff
Our Mission: Making the world a healthier place by gamifying fitness. Liftoff is the Duolingo of fitness, empowering anyone to start and stay at the gym so they develop healthier, more powerful habits.We’re a mission-driven team that moves fast, owns the details, and does the work. We’re fully bootstrapped, profitable, and built from zero to $10M+ ARR in under three years.About The Team
You’ll join the Product team and work closely with the Head of Product, collaborating with Engineering, Design, and Growth. Our product is the engine behind everything: retention, monetization, and ultimately revenue. This role is for someone who wants end-to-end ownership over backend reliability and experiment velocity, and loves shipping.About The Role
We’re hiring a Full-Stack Engineer to ship product features and experiments end-to-end. Your core focus areas:Feature delivery across the stack in TypeScript, from React Native screens to Supabase dataPolished, correct UI, shipped to the standard of the design, not an approximation of itExperiment infrastructure and instrumentationClean, performant API and data accessCross-functional shipping with Product, Design, and GrowthWhat Success Looks Like
Features and experiments that go out end-to-end without stalling on handoffsUI that ships pixel-correct and feels right;
spacing, states, edge cases, and transitions handled without needing a review pass to catch themA high-velocity experiment pipeline: clean instrumentation → fast implementation → reliable measurement → iterationA product that stays fast and stable as usage grows;
schema changes land safely, queries stay efficientShipped improvements that compound (reusable experiment patterns, better event tracking, faster deploys, fewer incidents)Strong operating cadence with crisp communication on what's shipping, why, and what it didWhat You’ll Do
Ship features end-to-end
Build the front end in TypeScript with React Native (Expo);
typed, readable, and maintainable by the next personImplement designs faithfully: correct spacing and type, all states (loading, empty, error), and the edge cases the mock doesn't showWrite and run migrations and deploy schema changes safely;
keep the data model clean as the product growsStay conscious of load and performance – catch the slow query or the runaway request pattern before users do
Ship experiments and instrumentation
Partner with Product/Growth to implement A/B tests and feature flags via StatsigEnsure every experiment has clean event tracking and reliable dataBuild reusable patterns that reduce experiment cycle time
Use data to drive decisions
Instrument events properly so the team can trust experiment resultsSpot measurement issues (leaky cohorts, misconfigured flags, underpowered tests) before they corrupt decisions
Collaborate cross-functionally
Work with Product and Growth to align experiment implementation with the roadmapWork with Design to turn Figma into shipped UI in React Native / ExpoContribute to prioritization by bringing technical feasibility and effort estimates
You’ll Likely Succeed If You Have
Professional full-stack experience shipping to productionStrong TypeScript — it's the language of the whole stack here, front end includedComfort on both sides: modern front-end (React / React Native or similar) and Node.Js against a relational database (Postgres preferred)A real eye for detail;
noticing unwanted 4px gaps, missing empty states, animation stutters, and fixing it without being askedWorking knowledge of schema design, migrations, and query performance, enough to make changes safely without needing a specialistHands-on experience with experimentation infrastructure: feature flags, A/B tests, event trackingDemonstrated ability to ship autonomously in a fast-paced, low-structure environmentClear written communication;
can document decisions,write specs, and share learningsBonus Attributes
