Job description

Overview

You’re Opportunity:

At PLACE, we’re building a category-defining company at the intersection of real estate, technology, business services, and the consumer. As a profitable, hypergrowth startup on the path to an IPO, our standards are high, our team is scrappy, and our commitment is to execute the best work of our lives.

This is YOUR CHANCE to help power the mobile experiences used by thousands of real estate professionals and consumers every day. As our Front End Engineer, you’ll partner with the Engineering Manager, product leaders, and design teams to build and scale high-impact mobile applications across our ecosystem—including Brivity Go, Brivity Home, the PLACE Partner App, Brivity Open House, and AreaPro. You’ll play a key role in delivering performant, reliable, and intuitive mobile solutions that support complex workflows and real-world use cases.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy solving real user problems, and believe in building scalable mobile experiences across platforms, this is your PLACE.

Who Develops You: Mobile Director

What You’re Great At:

You are a mobile engineer who ships. You bring 3–5 years of experience building and maintaining production mobile applications and are comfortable working across both iOS and Android environments. You think in systems, not just screens, and understand how mobile apps connect to broader product ecosystems.

You write clean, maintainable code and take pride in building high-quality user experiences. You are comfortable working in React Native while also diving into native code when needed. You collaborate well with product, design, and engineering partners and can translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.

You are proactive in identifying issues, improving performance, and addressing technical debt. You stay current with evolving mobile technologies and bring a thoughtful, pragmatic approach to building across platforms.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain cross-platform mobile applications using React (TypeScript, Expo, React Navigation/Expo Router)
• Integrate with native iOS (Swift/Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin/Java) modules when needed
• Partner with product and engineering leadership to scope, prioritize, and deliver mobile features
• Translate product requirements and Figma designs into high-quality mobile experiences
• Write clean, scalable, and well-documented code following best practices
• Develop and maintain automated tests (Jest, React Testing Library, Detox, XCTest, JUnit/MockK)
• Debug issues, fix bugs, and improve app performance and reliability
• Identify and reduce technical debt across mobile codebases
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards
• Collaborate cross-functionally with design, QA, backend engineering, and product teams
• Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Contribute to Agile processes including standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives
• Deliver high-quality features within sprint timelines
• Maintain and improve technical documentation
• Stay current with mobile platform updates, tools, and best practices

Why PLACE

We believe people do their best work when they’re trusted, supported, and surrounded by others who are equally driven. Our competitive benefits include PTO as needed, comprehensive insurance coverage, a 401(k) match, stock option grants, and a stock purchase plan. Every team member is an owner, building the “PLACE” they are proud to call “my company.”

Salary: $80,000 - $120,000/year
