Job description

Junior Software Developer - React Native

Build the mobile experiences that bring India's live entertainment to fans' fingertips

Why This Role Exists

From ticket discovery to the final encore, build the tech that makes it all happen

At thumpN, our mobile app is how thousands of fans discover events, buy tickets, and stay connected with live entertainment across India. As we build new features and push into new markets, we need developers who are eager to learn, write quality code, and grow alongside the product.

This role is for someone with a solid foundation in React Native who wants real, hands‑on experience building and shipping consumer applications that people actually use.

What You'll Actually Do

Real responsibilities, not a wish list

Product development

• Build and maintain features in React Native for both iOS and Android.
• Translate designs into responsive, user-friendly mobile interfaces.
• Integrate REST APIs and implement product features with guidance from senior developers.

Performance and engineering quality

• Debug issues, fix bugs, and improve app performance under supervision.
• Write clean, reusable, and maintainable code.
• Participate in code reviews and adopt engineering best practices.

Collaboration and growth

• Work with Product, Design, Backend, and QA to deliver features.
• Learn from senior engineers and contribute to technical discussions.
• Stay current with React Native best practices and bring that knowledge to the team.

What You Bring

Specific experience, not vague credentials

Required

• 1 to 2 years of experience building applications with React Native.
• Solid understanding of JavaScript and TypeScript, React, and React Native fundamentals.
• Experience integrating REST APIs in a mobile app context.
• Familiarity with Git and modern development workflows.
• Strong problem-solving instincts and a genuine willingness to learn.
• Ownership mindset. You take responsibility for your work and ask questions when you need to.

Preferred

• Experience publishing or contributing to apps on iOS or Android.
• Familiarity with state management libraries such as Redux, Zustand, or Context API.
• Exposure to Firebase, push notifications, or analytics tools.
• Interest in consumer apps, live entertainment, or event‑tech products.

Non-Negotiables

How we know this is the right fit

• You write code you'd want to maintain two years later. Long-term scalability matters here. The app is growing, the technical decisions you make now will shape what we build next.
• You take features all the way. From development to release, you own the outcome. Handoff culture doesn't work at this stage.
• You care about how it feels, not just whether it works. Performance and reliability matter to fans. A laggy checkout or broken animation is a broken experience.
• You communicate clearly across teams. Product and Design need to understand your constraints. Backend needs to understand your requests. You bridge that gap without friction.
• You thrive when priorities shift. Live entertainment doesn't follow a predictable roadmap. You adapt without losing momentum.
