Job summary

SmartRent in Phoenix is seeking a senior mobile engineer to own the native module boundary, build and release pipelines, and ensure performance budgets for the rental housing platform.

You will design and maintain shared native modules, upgrade React Native and native platforms, manage iOS/Android build and store submissions, and mentor other mobile engineers.

This hybrid role combines hands-on coding with collaboration across Product, QA, and Backend teams to deliver fast, reliable updates.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 5+ years shipping mobile apps on both the App Store and Google Play.
• 3+ years production React Native experience, including building and maintaining native modules.
• Deep expertise in Swift or Kotlin with working fluency in the other.
• Experience leading at least one significant platform migration or major React Native upgrade from planning through delivery.
• Backend experience (Node, Elixir, or similar) to collaborate on API design as a peer.
• Hands-on experience integrating hardware, BLE, or other connected-device protocols from the mobile app side.
• Experience working in a fast-paced and high-growth environment.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain the shared native modules that power device control and other hardware-specific features across our apps.
• Plan, sequence, and schedule React Native and native platform upgrades, including related dependency work, without stalling feature delivery.
• Own the iOS and Android build, signing, and store submission process, and keep it documented so any engineer on the squad can cut a release and new engineers can build on day one.
• Define targets for crash-free session rate, cold start time, and binary size; instrument and alert on them; and advocate for them in planning when a feature puts one at risk.
• Partner with backend teams early on payload shape, pagination, real-time device state, and error semantics before APIs are built.
• Set code review standards, mentor other mobile engineers, and document technical decisions so they outlast the conversation.
• Collaborate with other squads on shared mobile patterns, and with Product, QA, Customer Success, and Marketing on release scope and timing.
