This is an opportunity to have a significant impact on a product that's central to our future growth, helping move users from web-first experiences to an app-first ecosystem.

You'll work closely with Product, Design and Engineering teammates and play an important role in shaping both the product and how the team builds it.

  • Collaborate across disciplines: Partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering teams to transform ideas into intuitive, user-centric mobile experiences while contributing to technical discussions and architectural decisions.
  • Champion app quality and reliability: Monitor application health using Crashlytics, proactively troubleshoot issues, and continuously improve app performance, stability, and release quality.
  • Drive the growth of our mobile platform: Help establish React Native best practices, support other engineers as mobile development expands, and contribute to the technical direction of the app across squads.

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years of software development experience, including 3+ years building mobile apps with React Native.
  • Strong expertise with React, Expo, EAS, and TypeScript.
  • Deep knowledge of iOS development, Apple Human Interface Guidelines, and app distribution via TestFlight.

  • Preferred:
