Job description

Overview

We are looking for a Senior Product Engineer to join our growing engineering team to define, build and iterate on features for our consumer-facing product. You will work closely with Product, Operations, Customer Support, Growth and other functions to design and build a reliable, intuitive, and simple experience for our users. As an early member of the team, we hope you will also have a lot of impact on our team culture, processes and norms.

Taptap Send is a cross-platform mobile app developed with React Native and TypeScript, which talks to a backend service written in Kotlin and backed by a PostgreSQL database, all of which runs on AWS and is managed via Terraform and Ansible. This is a frontend-focused role, but you will have plenty of opportunities to work on all parts of our tech stack.

We’re an encouraging environment that values both teamwork and autonomy, and have many exciting upcoming challenges, including: scaling up to handle increased volume and complexity, improving UI and UX to drive growth and retention, building internal tools for our customer support and acquisition efforts, and much more!

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of development of mobile application products
• Build experiences across the stack using React Native and Spring
• Write well-tested, high quality code, with an eye towards generics and re-use
• Work closely with design and product teams to regularly ship working features
• Participate in release planning and deployment of released build
• Mentor and advise team members
• Evaluate and deliver timeline estimates for projects

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience building consumer facing applications
• Experience owning user-facing features end-to-end, from conception to launch
• Experience developing software in a collaborative, multi-functional, and fast-paced environment
• Expertise building, maintaining, or working with a shared component library
• Proficiency with React or React Native
• Experience working on systems that have real-world performance and reliability constraints
• Strong communication and ability to manage conflicting priorities, setting expectations with stakeholders and be a driving force

Ideally

• Experience with TypeScript
• Experience working with a design system
• Experience working on a multi-platform mobile app with a significant volume of traffic
• High personal code/development standards (code review, unit testing, documentation, etc.)

Taptap Values

• Impact first
• Team next
• Accept reality
• Propose solutions
• Win with grit
• Be proactively candid, with yourself and others
• Love the particular
• Own it
• Create positive energy
• Maybe, even have fun
