At VSCO, our mission is to nurture creativity so you can make it. We empower photographers to connect with other creatives and businesses with our suite of creative tools that spans from mobile to desktop and across our global community. We are looking for humble overachievers and self-starters who are naturally curious, highly organized, and thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.

This is a critical tech leadership role where you will be one of the first to help us build a React Native cross-platform mobile application that empowers aspiring and professional photographers to nurture their creativity so they can make it! We envision the technology built to be the start of a new foundation for VSCO’s mobile app development that allows for OTA updates, sharing React components with VSCO’s web products, and builds cross-platform solutions where possible to deliver ongoing features across iOS and Android without separate native apps.

In This Role, You Will

• Collaborate with cross-functional team members in the conception, planning, and implementing our first React Native app
• Architect and implement best-fit solutions aligned with the company's strategy to deliver maximum value to our creators
• Build clean, testable, maintainable, and idiomatic code, and drive the team forward in relation to code quality
• Deliver solutions both in collaboration with other engineers or independently, depending on the scope and schedule of the project

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience working on multi-platform mobile applications using React Native
• Preferred experience building React Native applications from the ground up that have been published to the App Store and have scaled to millions of users
• Experience with Expo framework
• Understanding and technical application of clean architecture and modularization, to deliver testable and scalable software
• Experience owning application development end-to-end from initial prototypes to customer roll out
• Professional experience working on mobile consumer applications
• Cross-functional experience collaborating closely with designers and product managers
• Experience collaborating with other engineers: iOS, Android, server, and web

Why VSCO?

We value the creative process and our employees’ opinions — input is encouraged, regardless of your position or title. We want to work with people who are driven and demonstrate initiative in taking our mission to the next level.

We believe in building a safe place for creative expression and celebrating that which makes us human, welcoming unique and personal backgrounds and experiences. We’re proud to foster diverse perspectives within VSCO as we continue to build an inclusive culture.
