Job description

As our first dedicated Senior Mobile hire, you will bridge the gap between design and engineering. You will:

  • Ship to Production: Take full ownership of the lifecycle for both iOS and Android platforms.
  • Elevate the Frontend: Use your expert knowledge of React Native and CSS-in-JS to build beautiful, responsive, and accessible interfaces.
  • Architect for Growth: Introduce best practices, coding standards, and design patterns that will allow us to scale the team and the codebase.
  • Automate Everything: Maintain and improve our CI/CD pipelines within Azure DevOps to ensure seamless, automated deployments.
  • Collaborate: Work within a loose Agile/Sprint framework, contributing to storyboarding, and regular sprint planning meetings.
  • Code Quality: Ensuring high code quality through unit/UI testing, code reviews, and static analysis tools.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

You are a senior-level developer who is “hands-on” by nature, you don’t want to sit in architectural meetings all day; you want to build great products., * Experience: Multiple years of commercial experience building and shipping production mobile applications.

  • Core: React Native (iOS & Android), TypeScript.
  • State & Styling: Your preferred modern styling stack.
  • DevOps: Azure DevOps (Pipelines & Boards).
  • Testing: Jest, React Native Testing Library.

  • Comms: Exposure to REST structured application interfaces, and real-time features (WebSockets, push notifications, etc).
  • Accessibility: Internationalisation, theming, and adaptive layouts.
  • Mentoring: Experience mentoring or leading small mobile teams / features.

Requirements

Do you have experience in iOS?, We have a proven concept and a solid foundation, now, we need a seasoned Senior Mobile Engineer to take our React Native proof-of-concept and evolve it into a polished, production-ready application.

You won’t just be writing code; you’ll be the architect of our mobile user experience. We are looking for a “Product Engineer”-someone who cares as much about the user experience and the UI storyboard as they do about clean, scalable architecture. You should have deep hands-on experience shipping commercial apps in both stores (App Store / Google Play), and comfort working in both native and cross-platform environments., * React Native Expert: You have a track record of shipping production-grade apps and understand the nuances of the bridge, native modules, and performance tuning.

  • Design-Led: You have a keen eye for UX/UI. You understand storyboards and can realise Figma designs into production-ready components.
  • Tooling Savvy: You are comfortable with Azure DevOps, including managing pipelines, boards, and releases.
  • Pragmatic Mentor: You enjoy helping others. You’re happy to peer-review code and set the standard for future junior developers.
  • Agile Mindset: You’re comfortable with the iterative nature of a growing product and can thrive in a sprint-based environment.
