Senior UI Engineer

Location: This position is remote within Colombia

At Huge, technology is more than a delivery mechanism; it’s a canvas for experimentation. We don’t just build products; we architect and scale the future of how people connect with digital environments. Our technologists are makers and visionaries who bridge the gap between "what if" and "here it is," ensuring that every line of code pushes the boundaries of craft and utility.

Huge is looking for a Senior React Native UI Engineer to lead the development of high-performance, cross-platform mobile experiences. This isn't just a coding role; you are a technical pillar for our teams and a translator for our clients. You will own the engineering lifecycle for complex iOS and Android applications, ensuring that our mobile solutions are not only visually stunning but architecturally sound, scalable, and seamlessly integrated into the broader service ecosystem. 

Technical Execution & Craft

• Native Excellence: Drive the engineering of robust mobile applications for both iOS and Android, ensuring high-fidelity performance and native-level fluidity.
• Service Layer Integration: Lead the integration of the mobile front-end with BFF (Backend-for-Frontend) and API service layers, optimizing data flow and app responsiveness.
• Engineering Standards: Establish and drive coding standards, lead rigorous code reviews, and implement common design patterns across multiple workstreams.
• Rapid Prototyping: Transition seamlessly from Proof of Concept (POC) to production-ready code, using experimental insights to build stable, scalable systems.

Leadership & Problem Solving

• Technical Roadmapping: Quickly identify architectural roadblocks and gaps in capability, providing alternate technical approaches to keep the project on track.
• Collaboration: Partner with Strategy, Creative, and Client leads to translate complex business requirements into elegant, executable technical features.
• Mentorship: Act as a lead mentor for the engineering team, fostering a culture of continuous learning and adherence to mobile best practices.
• Innovation: Stay at the forefront of the React Native ecosystem, advocating for the adoption of modern tools and frameworks that enhance productivity and app quality.

• 6+ years of professional engineering: A deep background in mobile development with a mastery of React Native, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
• Cross-Platform Expertise: Extensive experience deploying and supporting native applications on both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.
• Modern Tooling: Strong experience with bare React Native workflows including Metro bundler and Babel configuration, alongside state management with Redux Toolkit and RTK Query.
• Advanced Integration: Proven experience with BFF architectures and integrating complex API layers; bonus points for experience with Airship (push notifications) and Commerce/Payment integrations (Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay).
• Styling & UI: Experience building themed, high-fidelity UIs using modern systems like Nativewind or Tamagui.
• DevOps & CI/CD: Proficiency with mobile CI/CD pipelines using Fastlane, GitHub Actions, TestFlight, and Firebase App Distribution.
• Testing & Profiling: Skilled in mobile testing frameworks (Jest, Detox) and performance profiling to ensure a jank-free user experience.
• Design Sensitivity: A strong appreciation for UX and UI design, with the ability to advocate for the technical requirements that make a design feel "world-class."
• Communication: The ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders with clarity and empathy.
