Staff Full Stack Engineer, Mobile Platform

📋 Job Overview

We built Bubble with a clear mission: to empower everyone to create software. Our AI visual development platform lets anyone, from first-time entrepreneurs to enterprise teams, take an idea from prompt to fully-functional, scalable app across web, iOS, and Android. With over 6 million users in more than 100 countries, Bubble is breaking down the barriers to entrepreneurship and innovation worldwide.

🏢 About Bubble

Bubble is the only fully visual AI app builder that lets you vibe code without the code to go beyond prototypes and launch real apps to real users. Chat with AI when you want speed, edit directly when you want control. Bubble's visual editor lets you fine-tune any detail, from the design to privacy rules and programming logic, so you're never stuck, even if AI hits its limits. Everything you need comes built in: a unified web and native mobile editor, enterprise-grade hosting, security, database management, and automatic scaling that grows with your business.

🎯 The Role

Mobile is one of the most exciting initiatives Bubble is investing in right now. We shipped native iOS and Android support, one of our most requested features ever, and we're just getting started. Our mobile product is live and growing, and we're building fast: In-App Subscriptions, Mobile Plugins, and more have already shipped, with a lot more on the roadmap. We have a small, focused team working on this, and we're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to help take it to the next level, expanding the mobile builder, deepening the React Native runtime, and building the infrastructure that lets millions of Bubble users ship real apps to the App Store and Google Play. This is a full-stack role with a frontend focus — expect ~70% of your work on the frontend, 25% on the backend.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Drive design and implementation of our Mobile application builder.
• Architect deployment pipelines for seamless publishing to the Apple App Store and Google Play, integrating with Bubble’s existing infrastructure.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and support teams to ensure a consistent and high-quality user experience across web and mobile.
• Mentor and coach engineers to improve their technical skills and leadership.
• Partner directly with executive leadership to define roadmaps, inform and commit to priorities, and execute effectively.

📌 Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of industry experience as a software engineer, preferably at high-growth startups
• Proven track record building mobile products and features across the full stack, with strong JavaScript and TypeScript fundamentals and hands-on React Native experience; native iOS or Android exposure is a bonus
• Experience leading projects and designing technical solutions
• Experience with CI/CD, testing automation, and troubleshooting issues across the stack.
• Strong coding skills and the ability to mentor other engineers
• Excellent communication skills
• Alignment with our values: a desire to empower others, a focus on team and user success over individual achievement, and transparency and willingness to admit mistakes and failures

🎁 Benefits

We offer competitive compensation aligned to tier one markets. Our estimated salary for this role at Bubble ranges from $200,000-$259,000. Actual pay is determined by multiple factors such as skills, qualifications, experience and market demand.
