Build with us: React Native, Typescript Developer

Interested in film photography? Want to work in a startup environment, on a product with real-world users? We're trying to find great developers to form the future of our engineering team.

Flashback is was started by 2 best mates with a goal to bring back the wonder of the small moments. We create a digital camera that feels just like a vintage film camera. The only catch: the photos develop after 24 hours in an app on your phone, and come out with a vintage look. No instant gratification or social media highlight reels here.

This app is where we need help right now. It has been built out very quickly, and we have lots of features to build and bugs to fix.

The app connects to the user's camera (hardware) and shows its current status, and allows the user to transfer photos to be developed in the Lab. Then, they move to the Gallery for the user to view and share with their friends.
