Job description

Full Stack Developer (React Native & Expo)

Fully remote, UK

A fast-growing sports betting content business is turning its successful, data-rich web platform into a dedicated mobile app.

Most of its audience already uses the platform on mobile, so this is not an experimental side project searching for users. The audience and product already exist. The opportunity is to take an early React Native prototype, decide what is worth keeping and turn it into a properly engineered iOS and Android app.

You’ll become the team’s mobile expert and shape how mobile development is done across the business. That includes the architecture, tooling, performance, testing and release process, as well as solving the real-world problems that only appear once an app reaches different devices and both app stores.

The app needs to make large amounts of sports and betting data clear, fast and easy to navigate on a small screen. You’ll work closely with product, design and experienced engineers, while helping the wider team build its own mobile capability through collaboration, pairing and code reviews.

They need somebody who has:

• Strong commercial React Native and Expo experience
• Experience of data heavy apps and the challenges of how make it user freindly
• Taken iOS and Android mobile apps through the complete development lifecycle
• Released production apps on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store
• AI augmentation experience, with the knowledge to ensure quality code
• The engineering judgement to assess a prototype and shape a production-ready application
• The confidence to lead mobile technically while remaining a hands-on, collaborative member of the engineering team
• Native Swift or Kotlin should React Native not offer enough
• Wider interest in software engineering outside of mobile

This is a rare chance to build something new without the usual early-stage uncertainty. You’ll have an established platform, a substantial audience and a capable team behind you, while still having genuine influence over what the mobile product becomes.
