React Native Engineer

Are you a Senior React Native Engineer who genuinely cares about product quality and user experience?

Do you notice when an animation feels slightly off?

Do you spend time thinking about performance, interactions, and the small details that make an app feel polished?

If so, this could be worth a look

I’m currently working with a well-funded consumer technology business that is reimagining how customers discover and purchase premium products online.

Operating within a market that has traditionally been slow to innovate, they’ve built a membership-led platform that combines technology, commerce and curated customer experiences into a single digital product.

Whilst still relatively early in their engineering journey, the wider business already has significant commercial backing, an established customer base, and ambitious plans for growth over the coming years.

As they continue investing heavily in their technology platform, they’re now looking to hire a Senior React Native Engineer to play a key role in shaping the future of their mobile experience.

This isn’t a role for someone who simply wants to build screens from designs. Instead, you’ll be trusted to own major parts of the mobile experience, working closely with Product and Design to create something customers genuinely enjoy using.

What you’ll be doing

Building and evolving a React Native application across both iOS and Android

Owning and extending a cross-platform design system

Creating smooth, responsive user experiences through thoughtful animations, gestures and interactions

Delivering seamless checkout and payment experiences

️ Contributing to architectural decisions across the mobile platform

Working closely with Product and Design to balance technical excellence with user needs

Mentoring other engineers and helping to raise the bar across the team

Strong commercial React Native experience

Experience shipping production applications across both iOS and Android

A strong understanding of mobile architecture and application performance

Experience building consumer-facing products

Experience working closely with Product and Design teams

Engineers who care about code quality, maintainability and user experience in equal measure

Comfortable operating in a high-ownership environment where you’ll be trusted to make decisions

Significant ownership and influence from day one

Join a business with strong commercial traction and ambitious growth plans

Small, highly collaborative engineering team

Opportunity to shape both the product and technical direction

Work on a product where user experience genuinely matters

Salary: £65,000 - £90,000 DOE

Working setup: Hybrid London (3 days per week)

They’re looking for engineers who take real pride in their craft and care about building products the right way, not just shipping features as quickly as possible.
