Job description

We’re hiring a React Native engineer to build a mobile app for a large regulated UK organisation. It’s used at scale, so dependable, accessible mobile matters a lot here.

What you’ll do:

  • Build and ship a cross-platform app in React Native and TypeScript.
  • Deliver for both iOS and Android.
  • Keep accessibility front of mind throughout.
  • Work with backend and design to ship features end to end.

Requirements

  • Strong React Native and TypeScript.
  • Proven experience shipping apps to the App Store and Play Store.
  • Good grasp of mobile accessibility.
  • Solid understanding of mobile performance and testing.
  • Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools like GitHub Copilot as part of your everyday workflow.

Bonus points for financial services or regulated-app experience.
