TL;DR:
Have you ever tried to journal? We have too. Do you still journal consistently? Probably not - and you aren’t alone. The world has never been more depressed, and journaling has always been a proven solution, but it’s hard: input friction remains too high with incomplete habit loops leading to low reward. We're building the world's first intelligent journal to provide millions of Millennials and GenZ access to self-directed therapy to live happier and more meaningful lives.
Role:
We are looking for our first iOS Engineer to join our founding team! As a founding member, you’ll be responsible for writing the first lines of code for our mobile application. The building blocks are almost set: you'll be joining experienced founders, a wonderful group of pre-seed investors, and a phenomenal team that includes a product designer, ML research scientist, data scientist and backend engineer.
