- Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested TypeScript code with strong attention to performance and user experience.
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, including crashes, regressions, and platform-specific edge cases.
Mobile Architecture & Technical Design
- Contribute to scalable mobile architecture decisions, including state management, navigation, API and tool integrations, and feature modularization.
- Improve codebase maintainability by reducing technical debt and promoting reusable, well-structured components.
- Apply performance, accessibility, and platform best practices to deliver smooth, consistent user experiences.
Developer Experience & Reliability
- Improve team-level mobile workflows, testing practices, and release processes.
- Instrument applications with meaningful logging, monitoring, and crash reporting.
- Participate in incident response and contribute to root cause analysis and preventative improvements.
Collaboration & Technical Leadership
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through thoughtful code reviews and design discussions.
- Partner closely with Product and Design to translate requirements into scalable mobile solutions.
- Identify technical risks early and communicate clear tradeoffs between speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.
What You Bring
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 3+ years of hands-on React Native mobile development.
- Experience working in retail or marketplace platforms with real-time inventory, store-level operations, and high-volume, rapidly changing data.
- Strong expertise in TypeScript and modern React patterns.
- Deep experience shipping production React Native apps across iOS and Android.
- Experience with state management libraries (e.g., React Query, Zustand or similar).
- Proficiency in working within the Expo ecosystem
- Experience in building and integrating custom native modules.
- Proven ability to optimize mobile performance (rendering, memory usage, startup time).
- Experience with mobile CI/CD pipelines, app store release processes, and crash monitoring and observability tools.
- Strong understanding of UI/UX best practices, mobile security fundamentals, error handling, logging, and data persistence.
- Demonstrated mentorship experience and strong communication skills.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Kotlin, Compose Multi Platform
- Experience contributing to web frontends (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript).
