01 · The Product

The film arrives before the farewell dinner.

Guests on superyacht charters and polar expeditions upload their trip while it is still happening. LINX turns it into a cinematic film and the record of who was there.

Shot on real LINX expeditions

A mobile browser is forbidden the three things this moment needs: background upload, resumable transfer over satellite internet, and a push notification when the film is ready. The app is not a port of our website. It is the version of the product that can finally do what the product is for.

The moment to build: photos leave a guest's pocket over Starlink mid-trip, and the film lands back on it, by push, before the goodbye.
02 · The Role

Founding engineer. Not a ticket queue.

THE BUILD

iOS and Android, from a real plan

Expo, TypeScript, NativeWind, Reanimated against an existing Kotlin/Spring API. A complete, adversarially reviewed migration plan with tickets already written.

THE HARD PARTS

Native problems worth solving

Background-resumable media upload that survives satellite dropouts. Push-delivered film arrival that plays in under a second. Universal links. A camera-roll experience worthy of the trips.

HOW WE WORK

AI-accelerated, human-owned

Agents generate volume. You own architecture, quality, and the ship decision, working directly with the founder and our backend lead.

03 · The Timeline

First release in six weeks. On a real expedition.

Start now. The first milestone is the guest experience live in TestFlight, field-tested on a real trip this season. The full app follows this winter. This is a sprint with a real deadline attached to a real voyage.

The position is intended to be long-term for the right person: founding engineer, growing with the company, your name on the shipped app.

04 · Who We Are

A live product, in the field, on real trips.

LINX is the trust layer for luxury experiential travel. Our founding operators lead the expedition industry, and the founder built this because he lived it: one hundred expeditions on all seven continents. The web product is live at linxexperience.com. The app is the next chapter, and you would write it.
