- Own features from technical design through testing, release, monitoring, and production support.

- Partner with Product, Design, QA, and backend engineers to deliver effective technical solutions.

- Improve application performance, reliability, automated testing, CI/CD, tooling, and release processes.

- Contribute through code reviews, technical discussions, knowledge sharing, and responsible technical-debt reduction.

What We're Looking For:

- 5+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years building and supporting production React Native applications.

- Strong proficiency with React Native, React, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript across iOS and Android.

- Strong understanding of mobile architecture, navigation, state management, component design, data persistence, and platform-specific behavior.

- Experience integrating REST or GraphQL APIs, authentication, and third-party services.

- Experience with automated testing, mobile build and signing, and Apple App Store and Google Play release processes.

- Ability to produce clean, secure, testable, and maintainable code using sound engineering practices.

- Strong ownership, communication, and problem-solving skills within a distributed engineering team.

- Experience using AI-assisted development tools or integrating AI into products or engineering workflows.

Bonus Points:

- Experience with mobile CI/CD, over-the-air releases, observability, crash reporting, push notifications, deep linking, offline workflows, accessibility, or internationalization.

- Experience building high-traffic consumer applications or integrating payments, digital wallets, or native hardware.

- Experience with ticketing, concessions, point-of-sale, inventory, ordering, loyalty, cinema, entertainment, or hospitality platforms.

- Familiarity with Node.js, Ruby on Rails, relational databases, Redis, or AWS.
