Founding Engineer

Build consumer mobile apps and market them yourself — both halves, one person.

EngineeringLisbon or remote$30/hour trial → $30k–$60k/yrNo CV

Alongside DansUGC we build consumer mobile apps and grow them ourselves. We're looking for someone who already does both: you've vibe-coded an app, put it in front of strangers, and marketed it to real revenue on your own.

What you'll do

  • Build consumer mobile apps end to end with Claude Code, Codex and whatever else makes you fastest.
  • Ship to the App Store and Play Store: builds, review, releases, crash triage.
  • Market what you build — organic short-form, paid, App Store optimization — and own the revenue it makes.
  • Wire up the load-bearing parts: auth, payments (RevenueCat / Stripe), analytics, paywalls.
  • Move fast. First version in days or weeks, not quarters.

What we're looking for

  • You've built a mobile app with vibe-coding tools and it has (or had) at least $1k MRR.
  • You got it there by marketing it yourself — no agency, no budget you didn't earn.
  • You can build and market at the same time, and you enjoy both.
  • You'd rather cut scope than miss a launch.

The deal

First two weeks

$30/hour, paid per task. Real work, not a take-home test — and you keep the money either way.

After that

A full-time salary of $30,000–$60,000 a year, if you're fast and the work is good.
