Role
As a senior engineer on the mobile app, you’ll be at the forefront of building and architecting fun (and technically challenging!) features for a highly engaged and rapidly growing user base. You’ll work with an amazing team of engineers and mentor a growing team. You’ll work on a well-architected Typescript codebase, and use cutting edge technologies such as GraphQL/Hasura and Detox on a daily basis. This role is absolutely critical to ensuring a great product experience for our users.

Our Tech Stack

  • React Native
  • Typescript
  • Apollo/GraphQL to interact with a Hasura back-end
  • Detox for testing
  • React for the web app
  • AWS and Firebase on the back-end

Responsibilities

  • Build and iterate rapidly on engaging features (while squashing bugs) for the React Native app
  • Instrument and improve the overall performance of the React Native app, from startup time to navigation latencies
  • Help define the technical vision for the team, codebase and tooling.
  • Mentor and unblock other engineers on the team
  • Interview candidates and help with hiring and onboarding more engineers to the team

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of professional software development experience with an expert level of knowledge of React Native, JS, GraphQL and their ecosystems. You also have some experience with full-stack development.
  • Build well-tested and polished features quickly. You are able to identify when to make appropriate tradeoffs to ship quickly vs. when to take the time to do things right. Even in ambiguous situations, you can identify the most valuable areas to direct your energy.
  • Have debugged and solved performance issues in React Native (React Navigation experience a plus)
  • Have mentored junior engineers on the team or acted as the tech lead (nice to have)
  • Communicate clearly, both in writing and verbally.
  • Reside in USA/Canada: we are a distributed company that likes to minimize the time zone spread within the team.
