A suggestion in the app: a coffee round at a café 330 m away, on the map of Chemnitz, with the button “I’m in”; below it “Start something yourself”

Why we exist.

The best moments are unplanned. Yet today “spontaneous” often means “complicated”: calendars full, friends busy, and you end up at home again. Spontanoo shows what is starting near you right now and brings you together in small groups with people who are free too.

In the storesThe app is in the App Store and on Google Play.
Beta in ChemnitzThe beta is running in Chemnitz. This is where Spontanoo was founded.
Business ManagerHosts like bars, cafés and venues use it to give those meetups a place.

Our mission

The activity’s room: the group chat, a vote and the question from Spontanoo “Are you on your way?” with the button “On my way”

The role

Spontanoo is the app for meeting up in real life on short notice: small groups, today rather than someday. It is in the App Store and on Google Play, and the beta is running in Chemnitz.

What you will do

Develop the mobile app with React Native and Expo, from first sketch to store release.
Build our web surfaces with Next.js and TypeScript, such as the Business Manager for hosts and partners.
Turn designs into screens that load fast and feel right in the hand.
Look after shared components so app and web stay consistent.
Test your own work and ship it to production yourself.

What you bring

Several years of React and TypeScript in products that people actually used.
Hands-on React Native experience, ideally with Expo and releases in both stores.
Experience with Next.js or a comparable web framework.
An eye for detail: spacing, motion, loading states, error cases.
You write clearly and speak up early when something is stuck.

What to expect

An early stage: a lot is still open, and you help decide it.
Real ownership and short lines in a small team.
A live product in the stores that people in Chemnitz already use.
Hybrid work, with Chemnitz as our base.

How we work.

Three lines from our manifesto. They are not hanging on a wall, we work by them.

Output
> Hours.

We don't care when you work or where you are. As long as you deliver, you're free. 9-to-5 is dead.

Radical Truth.

We're honest with each other. Even when it hurts. That's the only way we grow. No “sandwich feedback”, straight talk.

Obsessed with Users.

We don't build for ourselves. We build for the people who want to celebrate life. Every feature has to make real life better, otherwise it doesn't belong in the app.
