About Us

Let’s go on an adventure together!

Hey there, we’re G Adventures. We’re one of the world’s leading small group travel companies, and we’ve always believed that travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how it changes you.

For the last 35 years, we’ve set out to do things differently. No cookie-cutter tours. No giant buses or cruise ships. And not to mention, as few selfie sticks as possible. Just real humans, travelling your heart out across the world with open minds and a non-stop desire to make our planet better, simply by exploring it.

At G Adventures, our DNA (or GNA, if you will) is built on belonging — where bringing your authentic self to work every day isn’t just accepted, it’s downright celebrated. For our office crew — you wanna rock a t-shirt with your dog’s face on it? We say go for it. For our Chief Experience Officers — you wanna hit the road and call some of the most epic places on Earth your home office? We love that — and we’ve got you. Wanna spend your days with people you genuinely like? Us too — and we’re pretty sure you’ll fit right in, wherever that is.

Now about that career of yours — this is the kind of place where you can spread your wings and truly grow into your role. The best part? You get to do it all alongside a passionate, freakishly talented, one-of-a-kind bunch excited to produce top-notch work and spread a ridiculous amount of goodness at the same time.

Feel like this could be the right fit? We think so too, and we’re already way too excited to meet you.

Objective of the Job

The Intermediate Mobile Software Developer (React Native) is responsible for designing, building and maintaining high-quality mobile experiences for Android and iOS, that our travellers and trip guides use before, during, and after their trips.

You’ll join our mobile team in Toronto and help shape the app from early technical design through to release. You’ll deliver high-quality, performance-optimized mobile features and take part in technical discussions and architectural decisions. You’ll be involved across the full development cycle, from technical design and implementation to code reviews and shaping best practices on the team. You’ll help keep our apps testable, maintainable, and scalable, while delivering a smooth experience for people on the road, often with limited connectivity.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

Mobile Development

• Build and ship features for our iOS and Android applications using React Native.
• Work closely with server-side engineers on API integrations and contribute to API design discussions.

• Monitor app performance and support version upgrades, patching and bug fixes.

Continuous Learning

• Stay current with industry trends, tools, and technologies relevant to mobile development.
• Participate in internal learning initiatives or knowledge-sharing sessions to improve team capability.

Skills & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience), with 3+ years of mobile app development experience in React Native.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript, React, and state management tools, plus familiarity with mobile programming languages such as Kotlin & Swift.
• Demonstrated experience in building, maintaining, and managing the full lifecycle of mobile applications, supported by knowledge of native build tools (Xcode, Android Studio, and Gradle).
• Solid understanding of mobile UI/UX principles, design patterns, RESTful APIs, JSON, backend integration, asynchronous request handling, and poor-connectivity scenarios.
• Experience with automated testing frameworks/tools and CI/CD pipelines.
• Some familiarity with AI-assisted and agentic coding.
• Experience with crash/performance monitoring and structured logging tools (e.g., Firebase/Crashlytics, Heap, and Datadog), alongside version control systems (Git-based workflows).
• Ability to debug code, optimize performance, and monitor overall app stability.
• Experience working within Agile or Scrum environments (sprints, standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives).
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and attention-to-detail skills, paired with effective written and verbal communication to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate across teams.

This is a contract position for up to 12 months.
