The posting

About Base Base is a platform for in-real-life social connection and community. Our Members are accomplished people who have built careers, families, and reputations. They come to Base for what their calendars are missing: regular, in-person time with peers they actually want to know. The gathering is the product.

The systems that make it possible are what this role exists to protect.

Engagement Contract: 4 to 6 week paid audit, with the option to extend into implementation.

About the Role We're looking for a senior, hands-on engineer to audit and stabilize a consumer mobile product and its internal admin tool, HomeBase. This is a 4-week paid trial: come in, understand the system fast, separate the real problems from the noise, and ship. It's a stabilization engagement, not a net-new feature role. The long-term build-and-own seat is a separate Tech Lead position.

The system spans a React Native + Expo mobile app, a TypeScript monorepo, two backend APIs on AWS (a member-facing API and an admin/back-office API) that run the Stripe payment, subscription, and refund integrations, a Supabase Postgres database with hundreds of migrations, an automation and data-integration layer (n8n-style workflows plus reverse-ETL into downstream tools), and Metabase reporting. Parts of it are mid-migration and lightly tested.

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 ship fixes that hold.

What You'll Do

- Audit the React Native + Expo mobile app and the HomeBase admin flows.

- Review the backend and API structure, the Postgres data models, and the business logic around bookings, guests, cancellations, refunds, credits, and notifications.

- Trace the payment path (Stripe) and the automation / data-integration layer (n8n-style workflows and reverse-ETL) for fragility and silent-failure points.

- Identify technical debt, broken workflows, security gaps, stale code, and missing tests.

- Review Linear and project artifacts, and compare planned work against what actually shipped.

- Produce a prioritized technical recovery plan.

- Ship or supervise one small but meaningful stabilization fix during the trial.

- Recommend the exact team needed to continue: mobile, backend, data, QA, or design.

Must Have

- Senior or staff-level full-stack experience shipping production React Native + TypeScript apps.

- Strong backend experience building and operating GraphQL APIs on a relational database (Postgres or similar), deployed on a cloud provider. We run AWS + Supabase.

- Hands-on Stripe across subscriptions, refunds, invoices, webhooks, and reconciliation, integrated into backend services (ours run on AWS).

- You've worked inside messy, partially-migrated, lightly-tested systems and brought order without freezing delivery.

- You make fast, pragmatic judgment calls in unfamiliar code and explain them clearly to a non-technical founder.

- Comfort working without perfect specs.

Nice to Have

- Experience with Metabase or analytics cleanup

- Experience migrating away from NativeBase, NativeWind, or inconsistent styling systems

- Experience with mobile release pipelines, QA automation, push notifications, and email workflows

- Prior startup rescue, code audit, or fractional CTO experience

- Expo and EAS builds in production, with manual store submission (no OTA).

- Apollo Client and GraphQL on the front end.

- Supabase specifically (Auth, Postgres, Storage).

- Automation glue and reverse-ETL: n8n, Hightouch, Airflow, or similar.

- Stripe in a booking, marketplace, or membership context.

- Mobile observability and E2E testing: Sentry, PostHog, Maestro.

- Metabase or analytics cleanup.

- Migrating away from NativeBase, NativeWind, or inconsistent styling systems.

- Untangling a codebase mid-rewrite (legacy and new trees coexisting in production).

- Prior startup rescue or code-audit experience.

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 4 to 6 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 (4 to 6 weeks, option to extend) Location: Remote, US Compensation: Candidate-proposed hourly or weekly rate Eligibility: Eligible to work in the US

How to Apply Apply through the link below. You'll be asked to share work samples, relevant experience, your availability, and to answer one short screening question:

Describe a production system you inherited that had a single point of failure: a sole owner, a fragile integration, no monitoring, or no tests. What did you stabilize first, and why that one?

Alongside your answer, upload a visual representation of that work: a system map, architecture diagram, data-flow sketch, or whiteboard photo of the system you describe. It can be rough. We want to see how you picture a system, not only how you write about it.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
