React Native Engineer

About us

At HelpBnk, we don't just build software; we build infrastructure for a future where everyone has the agency to follow their dreams. Co-founded by Simon Squibb, we are on a mission to Free Humanity from the trap of unfulfilling work and the looming challenges of AI-driven automation.

We are a high-growth startup under the Dream Inc umbrella, creating a social platform and business-starting tools that empower people to take control of their lives. If you are tired of "just a job" and want to fight for something that matters, read on.

Our CultureOwnership.We're small, so there's a lot of open ground. If you spot something broken, you're the one who gets to fix it. That's the good part and the hard part.Openness.Problems get named early, including our own. We'd rather have an uncomfortable conversation on Monday than a bad quarter.AI as a tool. We build with agentic AI (Claude Code, Cursor, and whatever comes next). We're not looking for people who let it write the code unsupervised, or for people who won't touch it. We're looking for people who've worked out where it helps and where it lies to you.Interesting problems. The work here is genuinely unsolved in places. If you like that, you'll like it here. If you'd rather have a well-defined roadmap and a clear spec, we're probably not the right fit for eachother.The ChallengeWe are in a pivotal phase of our journey. HelpBnk is transitioning its mobile experience from a web to a full native React Native application. Simultaneously, we are revamping our UX. As a Senior Engineer, you will have a massive impact on the future of our mobile development as we expand into new countries and verticals.
