Role Description

At Respond.io, our mobile app puts AI‑powered customer conversations into the hands of businesses in over 127 countries, and we're looking for a detail‑oriented Mobile Developer to help build what's next — joining our Frontend Team as a hands‑on contributor working primarily in React Native and TypeScript, partnering closely with Web Development and Product to ship features that shape the mobile experience, with real ownership on a small, senior team where your code reaches real customers fast.

What You Will Be Doing

• Build & Ship Features: Design and build new features in React Native and TypeScript, working closely with backend developers, designers, and product managers from idea through release.
• Monitor & Optimize: Track how the live app performs in the real world — speed, stability, responsiveness — and act on what you find.
• Fix & Prevent Bugs: Take ownership of bug identification and resolution, and spot patterns that help prevent repeat issues.
• Raise the Bar on Code Quality: Write clean, well‑documented, testable code, contribute to code reviews, and help strengthen our unit testing and CI/CD practices.
• Improve How We Work: Research new tools and patterns, and bring them back to the team to make how we build software better over time.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience with React Native, including the app lifecycle, handling user interactions, and integrating with APIs
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Javascript
• Experience with state management (e.g., Redux, Zustand, or Context API)
• Experience testing with Jest and React Native Testing Library
• Familiarity with native iOS or Android development (Xcode / Android Studio) is a plus for debugging and performance tuning
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and deploying to the App Store or Play Store is a plus
• Strong written and spoken English, with the ability to explain complex ideas clearly
• A nimble, collaborative team player who thrives in a fast‑paced startup environment

What's in it for you

• You will become part of an amazing culture with smart, collaborative teammates who actually care about each other's growth and success.
• You will grow more here than you would anywhere else, that is a promise.
• Virtual events like talent shows, Among Us nights, and online game sessions to keep the fun going, no matter where you are!
• We offer a highly competitive compensation package.
• You'll receive a mental health allowance to support your health and wellness needs.
• Flexible working environment and working hours that fit your lifestyle, wherever you're based.
