Intro
Why this role?
- Create a product that will improve the health of millions of people: Ferly is rooted in science drawing on mindfulness cognitive based therapy and we work with leading practitioners across the field of human sexuality. You will bring this content & research alive in the app, making it accessible to anyone with a smart phone.
- Work with passionate, creative and ambitious folk: The team at Ferly care deeply about building something useful for the world because the world needs more entrepreneurs working to solve big societal problems instead of useless tech like this. They've spent their careers championing this idea though Ted talks, PHD's & multiple side hustles. They all love a healthy debate, beautiful design, pictionary and chocolate.
- Use super young and cutting edge technologies: Ferly's Tech Lead always has his finger on the pulse, he's obsessed with finding the best technology for the problem even if it means experimenting with something new and exciting.
- Find your flow through maximum flexibility: We're a fully distributed team, currently in four countries across the globe. We come together online once a day but beyond that we work in a way that allows us to thrive, free of distractions and in support of our well-being. Inspired by Ray Dalio, we practice radical transparency which creates a high degree of trust across the team.
About this role
With one engineer we built a React Native iOS and Android app that supports a community of over 30,000 and growing, been featured as App of The Day on the App Store, implemented a comprehensive tech and data stack that allows us to test, measure and learn very quickly and hosted a number of mentoring evenings for womxn in tech. Just imagine what we could do with two...
You'll stay busy at Ferly working on the following:
- Shipping new features and product improvements weekly across the iOS and Android apps
- Improving the performance and stability of our apps e.g. improving the audio play time so our community don't have to wait even a second for the content they want
- Working closely with the whole product team to suggest and implement optimisations that will improve our focus metrics e.g. WAU's, #mins content consumed etc
- If design is your thing, you'll also have the autonomy to pull together quick prototypes of visual amendments, suggest UI enhancements e.g. animations and work closely with our designer to add moments of delight to the product
- If data is more your thing, you'll work closely with our Product Marketer and PM to monitor and analyse product metrics so that you can recommend quick and scrappy experiments
Your first 6 & 12 months
- Six months: Improve the stability and performance of both apps so we're ready to scale and ship payments - this is where the app will go from free to paid and the quality needs to be there to justify it.
