Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Senior Full-Stack Mobile Engineer with strong expertise in React Native (using Expo) and a solid foundation in TypeScript. In this role, you will play a key role in building, testing, and shipping mobile applications as part of our R&D team. You will collaborate closely with designers, product managers, and backend engineers to create high-performing, user-friendly applications.

While your primary focus will be mobile development, you will also contribute to React web projects when needed. Since React Native is a subset of React, familiarity with React web development will be a significant advantage. Additionally, mid-level backend experience in TypeScript and Node.js is preferred.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement UI components that align with design specifications and UX expectations.
• Manage app deployments and updates across iOS and Android app stores.
• Work on React web applications when mobile workload is light.
• Own key features from conception to production, ensuring seamless user experiences.
• Write clean, reusable, and testable code that adheres to industry best practices.
• Troubleshoot performance and usability issues and implement effective solutions.
• Stay updated on the latest mobile development trends and best practices.

Requirements

• 5+ years of total software development experience.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with React Native in production applications.
• Strong expertise with Expo for rapid mobile development.
• Experience handling app store deployments for both iOS and Android.
• Proficiency in TypeScript and familiarity with React web development.
• Strong UI/UX intuition with a focus on responsive and accessible design.
• Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of projects.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Node.js, NestJS, or other backend technologies.
• Familiarity with design systems and component libraries (e.g., TailwindCSS, ShadcnUI).
• Exposure to tools like Figma, Storybook, or React Testing Library.
• Previous experience working in fast-paced SaaS or product environments.
