Responsibilities
Build new experiences that delight customers
Own architecture and day-to-day development of our React Native / Expo mobile application
Partner closely with our API engineers, not as a downstream consumer, but as a co-author of requirements and contracts
Work side-by-side with the web engineering team to ship cohesive, parallel experiences across platforms; coordinate shared patterns, shared concerns, and shared deadlines
Collaborate daily with product, design, and QA to translate ambiguous customer problems into clean, shippable solutions
Set the technical bar for the mobile codebase through architecture, code review, testing strategy, performance work, accessibility, and release engineering
Mentor and uplevel other engineers and act as a force multiplier rather than a single point of throughput
Drive technical decisions with a relentless customer focus: what we ship has to work, in the real world, on real devices, for real users
Qualification
Required
10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with substantial recent experience in React Native development
Deep, demonstrated expertise with React Native across both iOS and Android, including the practical realities of cross-platform development (platform differences, native modules, performance, app store release processes)
Hands-on experience using Expo as a development platform - managed workflow, EAS Build / Submit / Update, and the tradeoffs involved
Ability to write and maintain native bridges - comfort dropping into Swift/Objective-C and Kotlin/Java when needed
A strong customer focus, with a track record of building customer-facing enterprise applications that real people depend on
Experience working with an API, helping define requirements, shape contracts, and contribute to implementation decisions
Demonstrated technical leadership as a senior IC: setting architectural direction, raising code quality through review and example, and helping less-senior engineers grow through pairing and technical guidance
Excellent collaboration skills with cross-functional partners in product, design, QA, and adjacent engineering teams
Strong written and verbal communication; comfort operating autonomously in a fully remote environment
Preferred
Experience integrating with a WordPress backend
Experience with user management and subscription / paywall platforms such as Piano
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and mobile-specific delivery (TestFlight, Play Console, OTA updates via EAS)
Experience working with consent management systems
Experience shipping in a media, news, or content-heavy product environment
