Job Description
Founded in 2022, EQWIN is a fast-growing startup reimagining the horse racing experience. Our app bridges the real and digital worlds, allowing users to create and manage their own virtual racing stables built from real racehorses whose value evolves with live performance.
With over 25,000 users in France and a recent acquisition by a U.S. investment fund (April 2025), we’re now preparing for international expansion.
Our mission: make horse racing modern, fun, and accessible to a new generation of fans.
Our mobile app is built with React Native / TypeScript. A web client is being developed in parallel with React 19, with maximum reuse of components, business logic and design system between mobile and web. The backend exposes a GraphQL API and REST.
