The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client.

- Deliver a browser version of an existing mobile app within a few months, reusing current backend services.
- Set team practices for React development, with possible exposure to React Native.
- Take ownership of internal tools and reporting dashboards so the team works more efficiently and decides with better data.
- Collaborate with backend engineers on service interfaces and data structures, and help tune application performance.
- Craft refined, native-feeling interfaces through animation, subtle interactive details and adaptive layouts.

- Skill in turning design mockups into precise, visually polished interfaces with animation.

- Background in live-updating features, payment flows or games aimed at consumers.
- Prior collaboration with backend teams on service and data design.
- No specific degree required.
