Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years building and scaling production mobile applications with significant React Native experience.
• Deep, production‑proven expertise in React Native, including the New Architecture, Fabric, TurboModules, native module bridging, and cross‑platform parity strategies.
• Strong expertise with TypeScript and scalable state management approaches such as Redux, Zustand, Jotai, or equivalent technologies.
• Strong understanding of both iOS native development with Swift or Objective‑C and Android development with Kotlin or Java, with the ability to work directly in native code when required.
• Deep experience with mobile architecture patterns such as clean architecture and modular monorepos.
• Expert knowledge of mobile performance optimization, including JavaScript and UI threads, bridge overhead, memory usage, startup time, and rendering performance.
• Strong experience with mobile observability, crash reporting, performance monitoring, and analytics platforms such as Firebase, Datadog, Sentry, or Amplitude.
• Deep knowledge of App Store and Google Play distribution, phased rollouts, feature flags, OTA updates, and mobile CI/CD using tools such as Bitrise, GitHub Actions, or Fastlane.
• Strong testing experience across unit, integration, and end‑to‑end mobile testing using technologies such as Jest, Detox, or Maestro.
• Proficiency with RESTful and GraphQL APIs and familiarity with cloud infrastructure supporting mobile backends, including AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Experience using AI for software development and familiarity with AI/ML‑powered mobile capabilities such as on‑device models, LLM‑backed experiences, and recommendation systems.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive the long‑term technical vision, architecture, and infrastructure strategy for the mobile platform across iOS and Android using React Native.
• Own the end‑to‑end technical strategy for the mobile application, covering architecture patterns, platform infrastructure, performance, reliability, and release engineering.
• Evaluate and champion AI‑powered capabilities within mobile development, including agentic coding tools, on‑device intelligence, and AI‑driven personalization.
• Lead complex cross‑functional initiatives spanning mobile, backend, product, design, and data teams while maintaining alignment on priorities and execution.
• Establish and promote engineering standards for code quality, testing, observability, architecture, and mobile‑specific development practices.
• Drive improvements in application performance, reliability, and release quality through CI/CD, crash monitoring, progressive rollouts, and continuous optimization.
• Identify and eliminate platform‑level bottlenecks that affect engineering velocity or user experience.
• Partner with Product and Design to translate business objectives into scalable, technically sound mobile solutions and roadmap priorities.
• Mentor engineers across experience levels through code reviews, architectural guidance, hands‑on pairing, coaching, and technical thought leadership.
• Promote engineering excellence through technical talks, documentation, best‑practice sharing, and collaborative problem solving.
• Influence broader engineering architecture, tooling, and development practices beyond the mobile organization.
• Lead initiatives from concept through production while balancing technical complexity, business priorities, and competing stakeholder needs.
