Hi all - I’m looking for an experienced mobile app developer to join me as a Technical Partner / Founding Developer for an early-stage startup I’m building called ReturnEase.

To be very clear upfront: this is not a paid freelance role. We are pre-revenue, so this would be a sweat equity / equity-only opportunity for someone who wants to help build something meaningful from the ground up and potentially become a genuine long-term business partner.

What ReturnEase is

ReturnEase is a mobile-first returns and logistics app designed to make product returns much easier for consumers.

Today, returns are still far more annoying than they should be. People often have to:

• dig through emails to find return labels or QR codes
• print labels or sort packaging themselves
• make separate trips to parcel shops
• juggle multiple retailer returns one by one
• fit everything around courier drop-off times and their own schedule

ReturnEase is built to make that process much more convenient by giving people a simpler, more joined-up returns experience through a mobile app.

The vision is not just “another returns company” - it’s a better consumer experience around returns logistics, built around convenience, simplicity, and time-saving.

Why I’m building it

I’ve already done a lot of work on the idea:

• extensive consumer validation, interviews, and feedback
• clear product flows and business thinking
• clickable Figma prototype already in progress
• company already set up, name secured, and serious groundwork underway

I’m not looking for someone to “come up with something from scratch.”
I’m looking for someone strong on the technical/mobile product side who can help me turn a clear vision into a well-built product.

About me

I’m 31, based in London, and currently work at Senior Vice President level in paid media at Omnicom.

I bring the commercial thinking, customer understanding, product vision, market positioning, and business drive. I’m highly entrepreneurial and very serious about building something with real scale potential.

Who I’m looking for

I’m specifically looking for someone who:

• has strong experience building mobile apps
• has built real products before, not just websites
• can think beyond just coding and contribute technically at a high level
• is interested in being a genuine early-stage partner, not just a contractor
• is reliable, thoughtful, entrepreneurial, and good to build with
• is on a similar timezone to London / the UK, ideally UK or Europe

Because this is a mobile app business, mobile product experience is the biggest requirement. That is the core of what I need.

Ideally, you’re already established in your career and may even already have a full-time role, but you want to build something ambitious on the side with the potential for it to become much bigger over time.

Important

Please only reach out if:

• you understand this is equity-only for now
• you have genuine mobile app build experience
• you’re based in a similar timezone and can collaborate closely

If that sounds like you, feel free to comment or DM me.

Background: I've built a system that navigates county tax, assessor, recorder, and court websites the way a title examiner does — collecting deeds, mortgages, liens, judgments, and lis pendens, with screenshots and source URLs attached to every data point. An AI layer then reasons over the records and flags inconsistencies or risks. Output is a structured title intelligence report.

I'm a developer at faang working on AI .

I run a profitable subscription service in the proptech space - so i know how to get the job done end to end , not just start. 

What I'm missing is someone who has actually done this ( title insurance ) .

Looking for: a former title examiner, escrow officer, or underwriter — someone who spent years doing manual title searches and knows exactly where the bodies are buried (figuratively). You understand what makes a chain of title clean or problematic. You know what a lender, investor, or real estate attorney actually needs to see, and how they make decisions based on it.

I need a cofounder who can tell me when the output is wrong, help shape what it becomes, and open doors I can't knock on cold.

If you've worked inside title and quietly thought "AI should be able to do most of this" — let's talk.

DM me.
