theSHFT is a default-on, post-quantum encrypted messenger with no phone number and no data collection — live on the App Store. We're a small founding team building the communications platform privacy actually deserves. Come build it with us.
Privacy is a fundamental right, not a feature. What you ship protects real people who have something to lose.
Post-quantum cryptography, zero-PII identity, encrypted real-time audio/video. No fake work.
You own surfaces end-to-end and shape the product, the culture, and where this goes. Meaningful equity.
Small team, no bureaucracy, async and remote. We move at startup speed because the mission demands it.
Own the encrypted client end-to-end — messaging, calls, voice rooms, native modules (CallKit, crypto, mesh). You care about performance, reliability, and getting the details right on a security product.
Own the server, the data model, and the security posture — including the post-quantum hybrid encryption stack. You think in threat models and treat correctness as non-negotiable.
Own the funnel — short-form content, App Store optimization, paid, and the privacy/crypto go-to-market. You've grown a consumer product before and you find the channel that breaks out.
Build and run the partner program — recruit crypto community admins and creators, close community buy-ins, and turn the affiliate engine into a growth machine.
If you're exceptional and you believe in private communication, pitch us anyway.
