## About the role
This is an equity-only role. As a pre-revenue, pre-funding startup we are not able to offer a salary at this stage, but we're building something real, and early team members will be rewarded for it.
We're looking for a student, recent grad, or early career with a Computer Science background who wants to get their hands dirty building a real product from the ground up. You'll work directly alongside our technical lead — who has worked for companies like Zalando — on the frontend and mobile experience of the app.
This isn't a "fix tickets" role. We want someone who has opinions about what great social products look like and wants to help shape one.
## What you'll do
- Implement UI/UX changes in React Native based on our Figma designs
- Collaborate with our technical lead on new features and feature optimization
- Bring your own ideas on how to make LEMO the go-to social app for students globally
## What we're looking for
- Computer Science degree (in progress or completed)
- Experience with React Native
- An eye for good design and product thinking
- Someone who uses social apps critically, you notice what works and what doesn't
## What we offer
- Equity stake via VSOP (vesting over time)
- Part-time and flexible — fits around studies or other commitments
- Remote-friendly, with a presence in Zürich if you're local
- Real ownership and influence over a product with a global vision
## About the company
LEMO is the verified social media app built exclusively for university students. We're creating the social layer that campus life has been missing, a space where students can connect, share, and actually belong to their university community. We're launching at two of Switzerland's top universities in September 2026, reaching a combined student population of nearly 40,000, and expanding across the DACH region with a vision to take LEMO global.
