Mobile Engineer - On-site; Internships too

About Besimple AI

Besimple AI is building the audio data and evaluation infrastructure for real‑world voice AI deployment. We help AI teams collect, evaluate, and improve voice models across languages, accents, environments, and complex human interactions. The founders are ex‑Meta product and engineering leaders from MIT and Brown. We are a small, high‑ownership team working directly with frontier AI labs and fast‑moving AI companies to push the state of the art in audio models, voice agents, and human‑in‑the‑loop evaluation.

We are looking for a full‑time Mobile Engineer lead to own the mobile experience for our contributor data collection platforms. This is a high‑ownership role at the intersection of mobile engineering, audio recording, user experience, product, and AI data quality. You will own the mobile experiences that allow people around the world to record, review, submit, and improve audio data used to train and evaluate frontier voice AI systems.

This is not a generic app development role. You will work on real production workflows where mobile UX directly affects audio quality, contributor throughput, customer delivery, and model performance.

• Build and maintain a mobile platform that will be used by tens of thousands of users for onboarding, audio recording, and live conversations.
• Own mobile features from product requirements through implementation, release, monitoring, and iteration.
• Work closely with founders, product, design, backend, and operations to turn messy real‑world workflows into simple mobile experiences.
• Improve audio capture quality, upload reliability, offline behavior, latency, permissions, device compatibility, and error recovery.
• Build contributor‑facing flows for recording tasks, auditions, metadata collection, QA feedback, payments, and project instructions.
• Instrument mobile workflows so we can understand conversion, task completion, audio quality, rework, and drop‑off.
• Partner with backend engineering to design APIs, data models, and upload pipelines for mobile‑first audio collection.
• Debug production issues across devices, OS versions, network conditions, and audio hardware.
• Help define the mobile architecture, release process, testing strategy, and engineering standards as the product scales.

• Strong experience building and shipping production mobile apps.
• Experience with React Native, Swift/iOS, Kotlin/Android.
• Strong product sense and care for clean, fast, intuitive user experiences.
• Comfort owning features end to end, from ambiguous problem to shipped product.
• Experience working with background uploads, low bandwidth network, crash reporting/analytics pipelines, push notifications, and app store releases.
• Strong debugging ability across frontend, backend, device, network, and user‑behavior issues.
• Ability to write clean, maintainable code and make pragmatic architecture decisions.
• Comfortable working in ambiguity and building from scratch in a fast‑moving startup.
• High ownership, low ego, and willingness to get hands‑on with details that affect real users.

• Opinionated about approaches in React Native, Expo, audio kits, streaming, WebRTC, speech, voice agents, ASR, TTS, or media‑heavy mobile apps.
• Experience building contributor, marketplace, creator, gig‑work, education, language‑learning, or field‑data‑collection apps.
• Experience with offline‑first workflows, resumable uploads, large file handling, or poor‑network environments.
• Experience with mobile QA automation, device testing, performance profiling, or crash‑rate reduction.
• Experience building internal tools or operational workflows, not just consumer‑facing app surfaces.
• Experience in an early‑stage startup or small, high‑ownership engineering team.

• Building the mobile first experience for a new audio collection project in a priority language.
• Improving upload reliability for long audio files on unstable mobile networks.
• Designing a contributor onboarding flow that tests microphone quality, accent fit, task comprehension, and recording environment.
• Building AI native mobile QA feedback loops so contributors can understand and fix…
