• Work closely with design and product to improve UX and deliver seamless onboarding.
• Participate in code reviews, contribute to best practices, and help improve our technical processes.
• Troubleshoot bugs and deliver quick fixes to maintain a high-quality user experience.
• Deploy updates to the App Store and manage release cycles.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of mobile engineering experience with a strong track record of shipping apps.
• Expertise with React Native and Expo.
• Strong understanding of mobile UX and design principles.
• Familiarity with integrating APIs and third-party SDKs (e.g., Firebase, Twilio, Stripe).
• Experience with state management, navigation libraries, and offline data handling.
• Solid understanding of debugging, testing, and performance optimization.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment where priorities evolve quickly.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Nice to Have

Why Join Us?

• Work on a real-world problem that impacts urban living and smart cities.
• Competitive salary of $120,000 CAD per year plus equity in a fast-growing startup.
• Flexible remote-first environment (with Vancouver roots).
• Opportunity to shape the direction of a product used by thousands of residents.
