## Job Description

## The Day to Day

- Lead the development of high-quality, scalable React Native applications. Push for rigorous testing, solid CI practices, and high standards across the codebase.
- Collaborate on and own decision making on forward-thinking architectural decisions. Align technical choices with company goals, and be pragmatic enough to choose the faster path when the business demands it. Watch for what is coming down the pike in React Native development.
- Mentor and elevate the team: guide engineers through tricky bugs, design decisions, and architectural trade-offs. Coach, teach, and create space for others to grow.
- Drive code quality through PR reviews, pushing work toward completion in an encouraging way. Your critical feedback motivates authors to improve their work and reach approval.
- Champion AI-assisted development. You’ve used AI tools extensively in your own workflow and actively mentor others to adopt them. You see AI as a multiplier for the team's velocity and quality.
- Collaborate across the organization: work closely with Product, Design, and business stakeholders. Translate complex technical concepts into clear language for non-technical audiences.
- Willing to blur the lines: you are willing to step outside your defined role when the work demands it. Whether it's jumping into an unfamiliar part of the stack or pitching in on cross-platform efforts, you are flexible to help where needed.

## Qualifications

- Deep expertise in **JavaScript**, **TypeScript**, and modern front-end technologies including **Expo**.
- Experience integrating with **RESTful APIs**, **GraphQL**, and third-party services.
- Familiarity with state management libraries (e.g., **Redux**) and asynchronous programming.
- Proven experience in building and maintaining complex, high-performance mobile applications.
- Strong knowledge of mobile design principles, patterns, and best practices.
- Experience owning projects end-to-end from initial prototypes to customer roll out.
- Cross-functional experience collaborating closely with designers and product managers.
- Track record of mentoring engineers and raising team-wide code quality.
- Experience with feature flagging, release management, and observability tools (**Datadog**, **Crashlytics**, etc.).
- Comfort with **AI-assisted development** workflows and a desire to push what's possible.
