Job Description

Role Description

We are looking for a senior, hands-on engineer to audit and stabilize a consumer mobile product and its internal admin tool, HomeBase. The current system spans React Native, TypeScript, backend APIs, database-driven booking and payment workflows, notifications, and Metabase reporting. This is not a greenfield build. We need someone who can quickly understand an existing codebase, identify architectural and execution risks, separate real problems from noise, and produce a practical recovery plan.

  • Audit the React Native and TypeScript mobile app and the related HomeBase admin flows
  • Review backend and API structure, database models, and the business logic around bookings, guests, cancellations, refunds, credits, and notifications
  • Identify technical debt, broken workflows, security risks, stale code, and missing tests
  • Review Linear and project artifacts, and compare planned work against actual implementation
  • Produce a prioritized technical recovery plan
  • Ship or supervise one small but meaningful stabilization fix during the engagement
  • Recommend the exact team needed to continue: mobile, backend, data, QA, design, or fractional CTO

Qualifications

  • Senior or staff-level experience with React Native and TypeScript
  • Strong backend experience with APIs and relational databases
  • Experience with payments, refunds, booking systems, marketplaces, memberships, or operational and admin tooling
  • The ability to read messy code and make judgment calls quickly
  • Strong written communication: you can explain risks clearly to a non-technical founder or operator
  • Comfort working without perfect specs

Requirements

  • Experience with Metabase or analytics cleanup (Nice to Have)
  • Experience migrating away from NativeBase, NativeWind, or inconsistent styling systems (Nice to Have)
  • Experience with mobile release pipelines, QA automation, push notifications, and email workflows (Nice to Have)
  • Prior startup rescue, code audit, or fractional CTO experience (Nice to Have)

First Deliverables

  • Within 5 business days:
    • Codebase map: frontend, backend, database, integrations
    • Top 10 technical and product risks
    • What is broken versus merely messy
    • Estimate to stabilize HomeBase
    • Hiring plan for the next 30 to 60 days
  • Within 2 to 4 weeks:
    • Recovery roadmap
    • Technical debt triage
    • Recommended architecture changes
    • Test and QA priorities
    • One shipped stabilization improvement, or a verified implementation plan

Details

  • Type: Contract (2 to 4 weeks, option to extend)
  • Location: Remote, US
  • Compensation: Candidate-proposed hourly or weekly rate
  • Eligibility: Eligible to work in the US
