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 ## Related Videos - [Building Better Apps with React Native](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1466-building-better-apps-with-react-native) - [Challenges of building React and React Native apps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/448-challenges-of-building-react-and-react-native-apps) - [Let's Talk Quality! - Lilia Gargouri](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1815-let-s-talk-quality-lilia-gargouri) - [Xcode development redefAIned](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100195-xcode-development-redefained) - [There's an app for that - on the role of cross platform development in the app development ecosystem](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/278-there-s-an-app-for-that-on-the-role-of-cross-platform-development-in-the-app-development-ecosystem) - [Hands-on React Native: From Zero to Hero](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/277-hands-on-react-native-from-zero-to-hero) ## Related Articles - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [React Developer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/198-react-developer-salary-2023) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 103 - Superb Owl Trafficking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/388-dev-digest-103-superb-owl-trafficking) - [Cross Platform Mobile Development Frameworks to Use in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/404-cross-platform-mobile-development-frameworks-to-use-in-2025)
