Senior Mobile App Developer Needed for Service Marketplace MVP

I’m looking for an experienced mobile app developer or small development team to build the MVP of a two-sided service marketplace application for iOS and Android. The platform will allow users to submit service requests and connect with independent service providers who can accept, complete, and track those requests. The full business model and proprietary features will be shared after an NDA is signed. Initial MVP Scope The application will likely include: * Customer and service-provider account creation * Simple request submission process * Provider request acceptance and management * Location-based matching * Real-time status updates and basic tracking * In-app messaging * Push notifications * Payment processing * Ratings and reviews * User profiles and request history * Basic administrative dashboard The interface should be modern, extremely simple, and easy to use. The goal is to avoid an overly complicated marketplace experience. Preferred Technology I am open to recommendations, but Flutter or React Native is preferred so the application can be developed efficiently for both iOS and Android. The developer should also be comfortable with: * Firebase, Supabase, or a similar backend * Secure payment integrations * Maps and location services * Push notifications * Scalable database architecture * App Store and Google Play deployment Who I’m Looking For The ideal candidate has: * Experience building marketplace, delivery, gig-economy, or on-demand service apps * Strong mobile UI/UX judgment * Experience developing both customer-facing and provider-facing workflows * Clear written and verbal communication * The ability to recommend cost-effective MVP solutions * A willingness to sign an NDA before receiving detailed business information I am currently focused on building a functional and visually polished MVP—not an unnecessarily large or expensive first version. ### When Applying, Please Include 1.
