Qwoted is transforming how the media and the communications world connect. Every day, thousands of journalists and PR professionals rely on Qwoted to surface the right expert, at the right moment, with the right insight. We’re scaling fast - enriching millions of articles, building powerful vector-based matching engines, and delivering AI-driven tools that help both media and communicators do their jobs better. As we expand our engineering team, we’re looking for a senior technical leader who wants to sit at the heart of this transformation.

We are looking for a frontend specialist to lead the transformation of our product into a modern, JavaScript-heavy, cross-platform experience. We’ve already built a solid foundation of APIs (Postgres + Rails + Supabase), and our backend team is in place. Now we need someone to own and architect the frontend layer: rewrite our web application, create our first cross-platform mobile app, and deliver polished, consumer-ready interfaces.

This is not a backend or full-stack role. If your passion is databases or Rails, this isn’t for you. We want a frontend-first developer who thrives in React, loves building beautiful interfaces, and knows how to bring web technologies to mobile through Capacitor.

Our inspiration is the LinkedIn + LinkedIn Mobile App experience - but laser-focused on the media industry. This is your chance to help define the user-facing side of an enterprise social network from the ground up. We need someone with passion and a vision for the future of Qwoted.
