About Take In

Take In is a food delivery platform on a mission to make food delivery fairer — for customers and for restaurants. We launched in January 2025 in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and are live in production, processing real orders daily. We're hiring across product, engineering, and operations to scale what we've built.

We're hiring a Senior Mobile Engineer to help us scale Take In's mobile app as our backend team grows and the product gets more complex. You'll work on real production systems used by real customers, ship features that move the business, and own things end-to-end.

• Build and ship features across the React Native app: payments, real-time tracking, group orders, the upcoming in-house delivery management system
• Work directly on the production app, not internal tools or throwaway projects
• Investigate and resolve issues across payment flows, real-time tracking, and app performance
• Tackle technical debt and contribute to the upcoming refactor of the codebase
• Carry on-call shifts. When production breaks at 11pm, you triage, fix, or escalate. You don't freeze
• Have honest, direct technical conversations with the tech lead, product, and ops, including pushback when something doesn't make sense
• Bring problems to the team early and propose a path forward, not just a flag

• 4+ years building React Native apps that have lived in production with real users and real traffic
• Strong handle on state management (Zustand is our default) and React Query
• Real payment integration experience: apps where money actually moves
• Real-time features built and shipped:
  Web Sockets, listeners, live tracking
• API gateway experience and clean understanding of how mobile and backend talk to each other
• Solid testing habits across unit and end-to-end (frameworks that interact with the app like a real user)
• Hands-on experience with monitoring or observability tools (Sentry preferred). If you've never used one, this isn't the role
• Awareness of mobile security basics, including SSL pinning
• Comfortable working under pressure and during incidents. You've broken production at some point and you have a clear story about what you did next
• You communicate directly and welcome direct feedback in return

• Bridging JavaScript with native code (Kotlin or Objective-C)
• Saudi payment gateway experience (Moyasar, Hyper Pay)
• Tookan or similar delivery/logistics platform experience
• Analytics tooling (Mixpanel or equivalent)
• Background in food delivery, fintech, or other transaction-heavy apps
• Saudi market experience, or hands-on with Dukan

A few things worth knowing before you apply:

Interviews are conducted in English, and over video — camera on is required. We use an AI notetaker during interviews to help us stay focused on the conversation.
