Software Engineer, Applications

We’re hiring a Software Engineer, Applications to build and own the mobile and web software that powers Mecka’s operations.

This is a mobile-first engineering role with full stack scope. You’ll build and maintain our React Native and Swift-based mobile apps, as well as the internal and external web applications they connect to. Our mobile apps aren’t standalone - they’re deeply integrated with web tooling, control planes, and operational workflows that run our business.

This role is ideal for someone who thinks in mobile first, understands the complexity of recording-heavy mobile systems, and can move across the full stack with confidence., * Own and build features in our React Native and Swift mobile apps, used daily by a large and growing user base

• Implement and maintain mobile recording systems - audio, video, sensor, and data capture flows
• Optimize for performance, reliability, and battery/bandwidth efficiency at scale
• Manage device-specific constraints across iOS and Android environments, * Build and maintain internal and external web applications that link with and extend our mobile tooling
• Own end-to-end features across frontend and backend - from UI to APIs to data layer
• Build control planes, dashboards, and operator tooling that integrate with mobile apps

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Collaborate closely with people ops, hardware, device, logistics, and data teams to build software that fits real operational workflows
• Translate messy, real-world operational requirements into clean, scalable software
• Support onboarding, device workflows, and field operations tooling, * Build software that performs at scale with hundreds of thousands of daily users
• Implement robust error handling, logging, and observability for mobile and web systems
• Ship fast without compromising reliability in production-critical systems

Do you have experience in Web applications?, * 3+ years of software engineering experience with a strong mobile foundation

• Proficiency in Swift and/or Kotlin - you understand native mobile deeply
• Experience building and shipping React Native mobile apps in production
• Deep understanding of mobile recording systems - camera, audio, sensor pipelines, buffering, and performance constraints
• Full stack competence - comfortable building APIs, backend services, and web UIs

Strong Signals

• You think mobile-first - web is an extension of mobile, not the other way around
• Experience with high-throughput, data-capture-heavy applications
• Experience in startup or operationally complex environments
• Familiarity with field-facing or worker-facing internal tooling
• Experience building software that coordinates across hardware, devices, or physical workflows, * A strong individual contributor who can own features end-to-end
• Comfortable with operational complexity and building for real-world workflows
• Pragmatic - you ship clean, reliable software and don’t over-engineer
• A clear communicator who works well across engineering and non-engineering teams
• Energized by systems that matter - software used by real people doing real work, every day

• Own mobile and web software that runs at scale across a global user base
• Build software that sits at the core of Mecka’s operations - not peripheral tooling
• Work with hardware, data, and operational teams on genuinely hard coordination problems
• High ownership role with direct product impact from day one

Compensation Range: $150K - $185K

Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI. We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI and robotics teams. Our work sits at the intersection of software, operations, and real-world execution - where reliability, speed, and quality all matter.

Our applications are used by hundreds of thousands of users every day - internally and externally - and sit at the center of a complex coordination layer spanning people ops, hardware, devices, logistics, and data.
