About LG NOVA
LG NOVA is the North American Innovation Center for LG Electronics, based in Santa Clara, CA. Our mission is to build AI-first ventures that solve real-world problems — collaborating with entrepreneurs, engineers, and domain experts to create new businesses from the ground up.
The Role
We're looking for a contract React Native Developer to own the front-end of a new AI-powered B2B SaaS product currently in active development. This is a 3-month full-time contract with potential for extension based on project success.
You'll be embedded in a small founding team, working closely with back-end engineers and an AI/ML lead. This isn't a feature-factory role — you'll have real influence over the UX, component architecture, and mobile experience from the ground up.
We expect you to use AI tools aggressively in your own workflow — Cursor, Claude, whatever ships faster. That said, you own every line that goes to production: code should be clean, readable, and something your teammates can maintain without you."
What You'll Do
- Build and own the React Native (Expo) front-end across iOS and Android from early-stage through pilot launch
- Implement AI-driven conversational UI flows, onboarding experiences, and data-rich dashboards
- Integrate with a Node.js/Supabase back-end via REST and real-time subscriptions
- Collaborate with design to translate Figma prototypes into polished, performant mobile screens
- Instrument product analytics and contribute to a culture of fast, data-informed iteration
- Participate in lightweight code review and maintain clean, well-structured component libraries
Must-Haves
- Deep, hands-on experience with React Native and Expo — you've shipped Expo-managed workflow apps to the App Store and Google Play
- Strong command of TypeScript, React hooks, and state management (Zustand, Jotai, or similar)
- You've built production UIs that consume LLM APIs — you understand streaming, token latency, error handling, and how to design interactions that don't fall apart when the AI is slow or wrong
- Comfort working across the stack — you can read Supabase queries, understand API contracts, and debug end-to-end without hand-holding
- AI-accelerated workflow — you actively use tools like Cursor or GitHub Copilot and can demonstrate meaningfully faster output because of it
- A portfolio of real shipped products, not just side projects
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with PostHog for product analytics and feature flags
- Founder or early-stage startup experience — you know what it means to make decisions with incomplete information and move fast
- Familiarity with Supabase real-time subscriptions or Row-Level Security (RLS)
- Eye for UX detail — you've pushed back on designs because you knew the implementation would hurt the user
Tech Stack
React Native · Expo · TypeScript · Node.js · Supabase (Postgres + Auth) · OpenAI/Anthropic APIs · PostHog · Figma · Cursor
Compensation & Terms
- Hourly pay rate of around $75–95/hr, depending on demonstrated experience and portfolio quality
- Expectation is for a 3-month contract duration (around 35 hrs/week); extension based on project success
- Remote-friendly; preference for SF Bay Area candidates who can meet in person periodically
Why Join
- Work on a product that's live with real users by the end of your contract
- Tight team, fast decisions, minimal bureaucracy
- Backed by LG NOVA's innovation engine with enterprise distribution potential
