Founding Growth & Customer LeadFishtown, Philadelphia

This role sits between sales, marketing, product, and support. The job is to bring in advertisers, attract the right users, keep both sides moving, and turn every conversation into a better operating playbook.

First hireGrowthAdvertiser acquisitionUser support

What You Will Own

  • Find, pitch, and close early advertisers who want proof that people watched.
  • Build repeatable growth loops that attract users, keep them active, and turn their feedback into product decisions.
  • Run customer service across advertisers and users, then convert recurring questions into better onboarding, docs, and workflows.
  • Create simple operating systems for outreach, follow-up, support, reporting, and launch experiments.
  • Work directly with the founder on positioning, pricing, partnerships, and the first scalable sales motion.

What We Are Looking For

  • You have sold, supported, or grown an early product before.
  • You are comfortable doing unglamorous work: cold outreach, live chat, spreadsheets, follow-ups, and writing clear replies.
  • You can talk to advertisers about outcomes and to users about what is confusing or broken.
  • You move quickly, tell the truth about what is working, and improve the system every week.

Founding Product Engineer, Android/iOS/Web/CloudFishtown, Philadelphia

This is not a pure mobile job. It is Android, iOS, web, cloud, admin tools, backend APIs, and shared Kotlin code.

Strong KotlinAndroidiOSWebCloudBackend + admin

What You Will Own

  • Write Kotlin every week: shared client code, Ktor endpoints, Exposed/Postgres queries, jobs, and tests.
  • Build Android screens in Compose and fix lifecycle, push, deep-link, camera, and playback bugs.
  • Work in SwiftUI when iOS needs it.
  • Build Electron Admin App for users, checkins, fraud review, heatmaps, promotions, payments, and notifications.
  • Own cloud infrastructure work across AWS Lambda, SQS, S3, deployments, logs, and production configuration.
  • Handle production work: broken uploads, payment edge cases, bad database states, logs, deploys, and weird device behavior.

What We Are Looking For

  • Kotlin needs to be a real strength. You do not need to be perfect at every platform.
  • You have shipped production mobile, web, or backend work.
  • You can read unfamiliar code and make focused fixes without rewriting everything.
  • You are okay with UI, backend, admin tools, and debugging all landing in the same week.
  • You leave notes when something is confusing, brittle, or half-fixed.

  • iOS: Swift, SwiftUI, CocoaPods, Kotlin Multiplatform Shared framework, MediaPipe/TFLite model work
  • Web/admin: React, Vike, Vite, admin dashboards, fraud review, users, notifications, heatmaps, promotions, payments
