Must Have:

  • 3+ years of production React Native development experience.
  • Strong TypeScript proficiency.
  • Strong experience with modern React, including hooks and component-based architecture.
  • Practical experience with Expo, or strong React Native experience with the ability to work effectively in an Expo codebase.

  • Excellent attention to:
