• Experience integrating native code with React Native:
o iOS: Swift/Obj-C bridging, CocoaPods dependency management
o Android: Kotlin/Java bridging, Gradle build configuration
• Solid understanding of:
o Mobile performance optimization (rendering, startup time, memory, battery usage)
o App lifecycle behavior, background execution, and offline-first considerations
o Debugging production issues (crashes, ANRs, native stack traces, JS errors)
o Secure mobile development practices (storage, auth tokens, device security constraints)
• Experience with CI/CD for mobile (automated builds, signing, distribution, staged rollouts)
• Experience with analytics, monitoring, and crash reporting (e.g., Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry)
Tech Stack & Architecture
Mobile Core
• React Native for cross-platform development
• TypeScript for type-safe mobile development
• React Navigation (Native Stack & Bottom Tabs)
• React Native Reanimated for smooth animations
• Metro bundler with custom configurations
Native Platform Integration
• iOS: Swift/Objective-C bridge, CocoaPods
• Android: Kotlin/Java bridge, Gradle
• Native Modules: Custom bridge implementations
• Platform APIs: Camera, biometrics, file system, geolocation

Key Responsibilities
• Design and develop robust, maintainable mobile features using React Native + TypeScript
• Build and maintain app navigation flows using React Navigation (stack/tabs) with scalable routing patterns
• Implement high-performance UI interactions and animations using React Native Reanimated
• Integrate and maintain native modules (Swift/Obj-C, Kotlin/Java) and custom bridge implementations
• Work with platform-specific APIs (camera, biometrics, geolocation, file system) ensuring privacy-aware behavior
• Configure and optimize Metro bundler (custom configs, performance tuning, build reliability)
• Implement and maintain push notifications and messaging flows (e.g., Firebase), including deep links and app states
• Ensure application performance, stability, and high availability through profiling, crash analysis, and optimizations
• Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; contribute to test strategy and automation
• Own release readiness practices: versioning, rollout planning, hotfix strategy, and store compliance
Principles & Engineering Practices We Value
• Quality-first delivery: maintainability, testing, and disciplined release practices
• Performance-first mindset: smooth UX, responsive UI, and efficient resource usage
• Secure-by-design development: careful permissions handling, safe storage, dependency hygiene
• Native-aware engineering: leverage native capabilities when needed without compromising cross-platform maintainability
• Observability: logging, monitoring, and actionable telemetry for production
• Clean architecture: clear boundaries, reusable modules, and scalable navigation/state patterns
AI-Augmented Development & Engineering Productivity
We encourage responsible use of AI tooling to enhance productivity while maintaining high engineering standards:
• Leverage AI coding assistants to accelerate development while maintaining high code quality
• Use AI tools to assist in refactoring, test generation, documentation, and performance optimization
• Understanding of data privacy and security considerations when using AI tools
