Akra Field is a mobile app that digitizes field operations for commercial construction — daily reports, safety forms, T&M tickets, coordination, messaging. It replaces the paper that foremen fill out by hand every day.
It's not an idea. It's live in production on the App Store and Google Play, with real subcontractors and a general contractor using it daily on a $150M hospital project. It was built by a working general foreman with 10+ years in the field, which is why it actually fits how job sites run instead of how an office imagines they run.
We're small (founder + one developer) and growing. This role is a contract position to start, with a clear path to founding engineer for the right person as we lock in paying pilots.
What you'd work on
- New features across the app: analytics dashboards, blueprint markup, inventory tracking, a custom form builder
- Real-time data and offline sync that has to hold up on a job site with bad signal
- Push notifications, PDF generation, photo handling
- Keeping a live pilot stable while we ship — real users, zero tolerance for breaking their day
What we're looking for
- Strong React Native + Expo experience (EAS Build, EAS Update / OTA)
- Solid Firebase: Firestore, Cloud Functions, Auth, Storage
- TypeScript
- Someone who ships, tests on real devices, and can own a feature end to end with light direction
How we work
- Remote, async-friendly. We move fast but we test before anything touches pilot users.
- Feature branches → preview build → tested on physical devices → production. No cowboy pushes to live.
- Contract / hourly to start. If it's a fit, we talk about bringing you on as a founding engineer with equity.
To apply: Send a short note on what you've shipped in React Native + Firebase, ideally something live we can look at.
