About the role

We’re looking for a Senior React Native Engineer to join a high-impact product team building and scaling real-world mobile applications used by active users.

We are looking for someone who:

  • Thinks like a product engineer
  • Owns features end-to-end
  • Understands performance, UX, and real-world constraints
  • Can operate with autonomy and technical judgment

You’ll be working on a production mobile platform, collaborating closely with product, design, and engineering teams to deliver high-quality experiences.

There is a strong preference for candidates based in Chicago or open to regular in-person collaboration.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build and scale mobile applications using React Native
  • Own features from concept → development → production
  • Optimize performance, responsiveness, and user experience
  • Collaborate with product and design on user-facing features
  • Work across APIs, integrations, and backend services when needed
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and code quality
  • Leverage modern tools (including AI) to improve development efficiency
  •  

    Must Have:

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience
  • Strong experience with React Native in production
  • Proven experience building and shipping mobile apps (iOS and/or Android)
  • Deep understanding of mobile performance, animations, and UX
  • Experience working with APIs and backend integrations
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
  • Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of features
  • Based in Chicago, or open to frequent travel for in-person collaboration
  •  

    Nice to Have:

  • Experience with React, Node.js, or full-stack environments
  • Experience optimizing mobile performance at scale
  • Exposure to AI tools, automation, or modern development workflows
  • Experience mentoring other engineers
  • Experience working in a startup or fast-paced environment
  •  

    What we value:

  • Engineers who ship, not just discuss
  • Strong product thinking and user focus
  • Ability to balance speed and quality
  • Clear communication and an ownership mindset
  • Comfort working in evolving, fast-moving environments
  •
