About Us
At Tavus, we're building the human layer of AI. Our mission is to make human-AI interaction as natural as face-to-face interaction, enabling the human touch where it has been previously unscalable. We achieve this through pioneering research in multi-modal AI models for human perception and understanding, combined with state-of-the-art human avatar rendering and communication models. Our models power everything from text-to-video AI avatars to real-time conversational video experiences across industries like healthcare, recruiting, sales, education, and more. By enabling AI to see, hear, and communicate with human-like authenticity, we're creating the foundation for the next generation of AI employees, assistants, and companions.
We're a Series A company backed by top investors, including Sequoia, Y Combinator, and Scale VC. Join us in driving the future of human-AI interaction. Check it out for yourself 😎
The Role
We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer (Frontend/Mobile) to be the technical driver of our new mobile experience. This is a very hands-on role focused primarily on React Native, with occasional work in React for web. You’ll take the lead on building our mobile app from the ground up, while also contributing to web-based interfaces and internal tools when needed.
This isn’t your first mobile product launch - you’ve done this before, you have strong opinions about architecture and design, and you know how to ship polished, high-performing apps. You'll work closely with design, product, and engineering leadership to build intuitive and beautiful experiences, fast.
What You'll Do
Own the development and delivery of our mobile app using React Native, from ideation to launch
Jump into our existing React codebase when needed - especially on shared components and internal tools
Partner closely with the design team to bring elegant interfaces to life and uphold a high UX bar
Shape the direction of our mobile architecture, patterns, and development process
Contribute across the full product stack as needed (especially if you lean toward full-stack experience)
Drive key projects, such as:

Brings a senior mindset: sets direction, owns decisions, and gets things over the finish line
Thrives in startup environments where they can be autonomous, opinionated, and fast-moving
Nice-to-Haves
Experience with native iOS/Android modules
Exposure to LLMs, avatars, video, or AI/ML-powered products
Familiarity with backend APIs, RAG pipelines, or GraphQL
