Senior React Native Developer

About this role

This is a remote position.
About Us:We're a custom mobile software development company building tailored, high-quality mobile applications for clients across industries. We take products from concept to store, and we care deeply about clean architecture, performance, and long-term maintainability. We're looking for a senior engineer to take ownership of our React Native work as a key member of our mobile team.
About the Role:We're seeking a Senior React Native Developer with deep, hands-on expertise to lead the development of cross-platform mobile applications. This is a senior position — you'll own features end to end, make architectural decisions and act as a technical point of reference across projects. You should be comfortable working directly with clients and translating requirements into robust, production-ready apps.
What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain performant cross-platform mobile apps using React Native

• Own architecture decisions and set best practices for the mobile codebase

• Integrate with REST/GraphQL APIs, third-party SDKs, and native modules

• Write and bridge native code (Swift/Objective-C, Kotlin/Java) when required

• Optimize app performance, memory usage, and startup time

• Manage the full release cycle — build, test, and deploy to the App Store and Google Play

• Review code, mentor mid- and junior-level developers, and uphold engineering standards

• Collaborate with designers, product managers, and clients to deliver on requirements

Required Skills & Experience

• 7+ years of professional mobile development experience, with substantial React Native experience

• Expert knowledge of JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript

• Hands-on experience integrating AI/LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or similar) into applications

• Strong understanding of React fundamentals — hooks, context, component lifecycle, and performance optimization

• Experience with state management (Redux / Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or Context API)

• Solid experience with React Navigation

• Proficiency integrating RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs

• Experience writing native modules and bridging native code (iOS: Swift/Objective-C; Android: Kotlin/Java)

• Familiarity with native build tooling (Xcode, Android Studio, Gradle, CocoaPods)

• Experience publishing and maintaining apps on the App Store and Google Play

• Strong understanding of mobile app architecture, offline handling, and security best practices

• Experience with Git and collaborative version control workflows

Nice to Have

• Experience with Expo and the Expo ecosystem

• Familiarity with the New Architecture (Fabric, TurboModules) and Hermes

• Testing experience (Jest, React Native Testing Library, Detox)

• CI/CD for mobile (Fastlane, EAS, Bitrise, GitHub Actions)

• Push notifications, deep linking, and analytics integration (Firebase, etc.)

• Experience in a client-facing or agency/consulting environment

• Native mobile development background (fully native iOS or Android)

What We're Looking For in a Person

• A senior engineer who takes ownership and can work independently

• Genuine enthusiasm for AI and a habit of using it to build better products

• Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with clients

• Someone who values code quality, testing, and maintainable solutions

Tech Stack: React Native, JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, React, Redux Toolkit / Zustand, React Navigation, REST / GraphQL, Swift / Objective-C, Kotlin / Java, Xcode, Android Studio, Gradle, CocoaPods, Git, Firebase, Jest / Detox, Fastlane / EAS
