<p><h4>Description</h4>
<p>Mindrift is looking for skilled mobile app developers (React Native, Flutter, Swift, or Kotlin) to join the Tendem project and build native and cross-platform mobile applications within our hybrid AI + human environment. In this role, as an AI Pilot – that's how we refer to this position at Mindrift – you'll collaborate with Tendem agents that handle repetitive tasks, while you provide mobile engineering expertise, platform-specific judgment, and quality control to ensure apps are stable, performant, and ready for real users on real devices. This part-time remote opportunity is ideal for professionals with hands-on experience shipping iOS and/or Android apps, working with platform APIs, and handling the full mobile development lifecycle.</p>
<h4>What we do</h4>
<p>The Mindrift platform connects specialists with AI projects from major tech innovators. Our mission is to unlock the potential of generative AI by tapping into real-world expertise from across the globe.</p>
<h4>About the role</h4>
<p>This is a freelance role for a Tendem project. As a mobile app developer, you'll design, build, and refine mobile applications across categories such as utilities, fitness/wellness, games, productivity, delivery, and content apps — for iOS, Android, or both, using native or cross-platform frameworks.</p>
<h4>Key responsibilities</h4>
<ul>
<li>Build mobile applications using React Native, Flutter, Swift (iOS), or Kotlin (Android).</li>
<li>Implement responsive mobile UIs that follow platform conventions (iOS HIG, Material Design).</li>
<li>Integrate native device features (camera, push notifications, location, storage, biometrics).</li>
<li>Connect apps to backend APIs, handle offline state, caching, and synchronization.</li>
<li>Implement monetization features where required (in-app purchases, ads, subscriptions).</li>
<li>Evaluate AI-generated mobile code and refactor it for correctness, performance, battery use, and maintainability.</li>
<li>Debug platform-specific issues and prepare builds for distribution (TestFlight, Play Console).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements and benefits</h4>
<ul>
<li>At least 3 years of relevant experience in mobile app development (required).</li>
<li>Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, engineering, information technology, or related technical fields is a plus.</li>
<li>Candidates should have a strong foundation in mobile application development, platform-specific UI/UX patterns, and building stable, high-quality mobile experiences for iOS and Android. We are looking for specialists who can confidently work with native or cross-platform frameworks, integrate device APIs and backend services, and refine AI-assisted output into production-ready mobile applications. Strong attention to detail, performance awareness, and the ability to work independently are essential.</li>
<li>Hands-on experience with at least one of: React Native, Flutter, Swift/SwiftUI (iOS), or Kotlin/Jetpack Compose (Android).</li>
<li>Solid understanding of mobile UI patterns, navigation, state management, and platform guidelines.</li>
<li>Experience integrating REST APIs, handling async data, and managing local storage.</li>
<li>Familiarity with native device APIs (notifications, camera, location, storage, biometrics).</li>
<li>Experience with mobile build tools, code signing, and submission to App Store and Google Play.</li>
<li>Experience implementing in-app purchases, ads, or subscriptions is a plus.</li>
<li>Familiarity with backend services such as Firebase, Supabase, or similar is a plus.</li>
<li>Strong attention to detail and commitment to performance, stability, and platform polish.</li>
<li>Self-directed work ethic with the ability to ship complete mobile features independently.</li>
<li>Portfolio of shipped mobile apps (required, with App Store and Google Play links preferred).</li>
<li>English proficiency: Upper-intermediate (B2) or above (required).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Project time expectations</h4>
<p>For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active.</p>
<h4>Compensation</h4>
<p>On this project, contributors can earn up to $35 per hour equivalent, depending on their level and pace of contribution. Compensation varies across projects depending on scope, complexity, and required expertise. Please note that other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels based on their requirements.</p>
<h4>Why this freelance opportunity might be a great fit for you?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Work fully remote on your own schedule with just a laptop and stable internet connection.</li>
<li>Gain hands-on experience in a unique hybrid environment where human expertise and AI agents collaborate seamlessly — a distinctive skill set in a rapidly growing field.</li>
<li>Participate in performance-based bonus programs that reward high-quality work and consistent delivery.</li>

The project aims at supporting gender-responsive job creation and help generating economic opportunities for women-led micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across various productive sectors with high growth potential. Through this objective the project will be fostering the economic security, stability and prosperity of women entrepreneurs and women-led MSMEs in Lebanon. The project includes 3 main components: Component 1: Ensuring that government institutions are more responsive to women s needs through processes that are more conducive to doing business, Component 2: Ensuring that women-led MSMEs have access to the financial resources to grow and remain sustainable, Component 3: Ensuring that women-led MSMEs receive the needed technical support to increase their access to local and international markets. The project was developed in response to the multiple crises that have hit Lebanon, in particular the financial crisis which have hindered the ability of MSMEs in general and women-led MSMEs to access the needed financing to grow. With the collapse of the banking system and the resulting depletion of all sources of financing, access to finance is considered as one of the biggest impediments for MSMEs and particularly women MSMEs to develop and take their business to the next level. This has compounded to the already existing barriers women entrepreneurs have been facing namely stringent collateral requirements, high interest rates, complex documentation processes, sub-optimal financial literacy, absence of market information, etc. In light of the current situation and the ongoing conflict, and based on consultations held with WEE project beneficiaries, MSMEs are currently facing significant cash flow constraints and growing financial pressures that are affecting their ability to sustain operations, retain workers, and plan for the short and medium term. Many businesses are operating in an increasingly uncertain environment, with limited capacity to assess risks, respond to disruptions, and adopt practical financial strategies to maintain stability during crises.</p><p>This Terms of Reference (TOR) outlines the scope of work, qualifications, and expected deliverables for the Senior Trade Specialist who will be responsible.</p><p>The expert will ensure</p><p><strong>SCOPE OF WORK, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ANALYTICAL WORK</strong></p><p>UNDP is seeking the services of a Short-Term Individual Consultant (Senior Trade Specialist) to improve the business environment for SMEs through regulatory reform, trade facilitation, SME data centralization, and strengthening institutional mechanisms for protecting national production.
