MANUAL is a digital personal development and mental wellness platform designed to inspire young men to become the best versions of themselves. Today, male students are far less likely to be enrolled, retained, and graduate from higher education institutions, and this is especially true for young men of color. Their mental health outcomes are rapidly worsening, with young men dying by suicide and overdose at alarming rates.

MANUAL works with high schools, universities, and fraternities across the country – including the University of Mississippi, Morgan State University, and MSU-Denver – to solve this challenge, bringing high-quality men’s success and mental health programming to tens of thousands of students. MANUAL has raised capital from Expanse Venture Partners, 12-48, the Inner Foundation, and angel investors from companies like Maven Clinic, McKinsey & Company, Eleanor Health, and more. MANUAL’s evidence- based approach has been proven to enroll young men who are not currently being reached by existing services, and users report significant levels of trust towards the service.

Are you passionate about crafting beautiful and efficient mobile and web applications? Do you want to use your skills to help thousands of young men around the country? If you’re enthusiastic about React and React Native, and love the thrill of a startup, we’d love to talk to you!

Who We’re Looking For:

• React Enthusiasts: You have a solid understanding of React and React Native, and have worked on a React Native app in the iOS and Android app stores.
• Problem Solvers: You enjoy solving complex problems and have a knack for finding creative solutions. You understand that at an early-stage startup, the ‘good enough’ solution that ships a feature to users is better than the ‘perfect’ solution that is never quite ready for production.
• Team Players: You’ll be working closely with our small team, where your voice matters. We’re looking for engineers with humility, who love helping out other developers when they’re stuck.
• Lifelong Learners: If you’re always open to learn new things, and you appreciate that everyone has something to teach you, you’ll fit right in! No know-it-alls here.

What You Won’t Need:

• A specific number of years of experience. What matters is what you’ve learned and how you can apply your skills to solve new problems. If you have 1 year of experience, awesome! If you have 15 years of experience, that’s great too!
• A formal education in computer science. We value diverse educational backgrounds and learning paths (our head of engineering doesn’t have a computer science degree).

What You’ll Do:

• Work on our greenfield React Native web/mobile app, with the potential to lead development of the project
• Participate in feedback sessions to learn from our users and customers
• Participate in the hiring process for future engineering hires
• Play a key role in shaping the engineering process and culture
• Collaborate with our head of engineering on our other backend and frontend projects

Important Details

• Job Type: Full-time, remote work environment with occasional optional travel for team get-togethers.
• Compensation structure: We are considering engineers with a range of experience and skill for this role, and will make cash offers of $115k-$140k per year. A competitive equity plan will be provided.
• Benefits: Fully covered (no employee contribution) Health, Dental, and Vision insurance. Unlimited PTO.
