- Adapt to Needs: Contribute to web development during periods when web priorities temporarily exceed mobile demands.
Here’s What You’ll Need To Be Successful:
- React Native Expertise: Proven experience building, optimizing, and shipping production mobile apps across iOS and Android.
- Strong React.js Skills: Deep understanding of modern frontend development, state management, and UI performance.
- Backend Awareness: Familiarity with Django/Python environments and experience interacting with APIs.
- Database Knowledge: Experience working with PostgreSQL or MySQL databases.
- Version Control Mastery: Comfort with Git/GitHub/GitLab and collaborative development workflows.
- Testing Proficiency: Experience with automated testing frameworks for both React Native and React.js.
- Problem-Solving Strength: Ability to troubleshoot complex issues and write clean, maintainable code.
- Effective Communication: Strong collaboration skills in an agile, fast-moving environment.
