Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2023)

We are a social media company dedicated to delivering users an engaging and censorship-free experience. We believe users should be able to freely express themselves and engage with a rich diversity of viewpoints on a progressive, accessible platform. If you are interested in joining a company that is fast-paced, rapidly growing, and committed to free speech, please get in touch.

Our first product is Truth Social, a social media application which launched on 20 February 2022 to become #1 in the Apple App Store. We are expanding to other platforms (Web launched, Android native coming soon) and adding functionality, plus working on follow-on products (SVOD, Infrastructure). Our product is currently available in the US, Canada, the UK, and a few others, and is expanding throughout the world over the upcoming months.

We're looking for a variety of roles in engineering for these products. Our current team is small and technically excellent, making extensive use of open source software and operating our own infrastructure to remain independent of third party control. We are particularly interested in hiring people from the established social media giants and large SAAS applications who were directly involved in creating software and infrastructure for scaling to hundreds of millions of users and beyond, and who want to do it again in an environment which values freedom of speech and expression.

One system we're particularly proud of is an internally-developed ML moderation system which flags policies in violation of ToS and assists human moderators in keeping the site in compliance with our terms of service while respecting free speech. We are working on open sourcing elements of these tools.

We recently deployed direct messaging for users and are working on security and privacy improvements, as well as other expansions of the core Truth Social product. Some of these tools will be released as open source.

We shipped tens of thousands of tests last year and are on track to ship 2M+ this year.

At Uplause, we want to be the de-facto platform for creators to develop multiple monetisation streams.

We are looking for a React Native Engineer to join our mobile team to work on our suite of products; the Uplause Creator + Fan Apps (a total of 4). We've built our current portfolio of mobile apps with just a lean team of 3. We're pre-seed at this stage, so you'll be an influential part of our team, culture and direction.

Our architecture:

- Our backend uses Node.js, with detailed API docs for all interactions with the client

- Mobile apps (Creator + Fan apps for both iOS and Android) are made using React Native to optimise our velocity of shipping features. You can find them on both the App/Play Store

- We make heavy use of TypeScript to eliminate whole classes of bugs all around our codebases.

Due to the high degree of autonomy and responsibility of this role, we will not be able to consider applicants without prior experience with React Native.

You'll be working closely with our design team to build new features, work on optimising UX and have a high degree of autonomy in whatever you do. You can find more details here: https://rentry.co/uplause-me
