## Requirements

Lead iOS and Android development using React Native and TypeScript; set standards  
for code quality, testing, and reviews.  
● Architect scalable, maintainable mobile solutions (state management, navigation,  
caching, offline-first and analytics).  
● Deliver pixel-perfect UI from Figma with high-quality animations and consistent  
behaviour across devices.  
● Own mobile release management: CI/CD, OTA updates (where applicable), store  
submissions, and post-release monitoring.  
● Collaborate with backend teams on API contracts, performance, and reliability; ensure  
robust error handling and observability.  
● Mentor and support engineers through sprints, planning, estimation, technical guidance,  
and 1:1 coaching.  
● Report weekly to the Head of Engineering on progress, risks, and roadmap delivery.  
Must-have requirements  
● 7+ years building mobile apps with 3+ years of production React Native experience at  
scale.  
● Strong TypeScript and JavaScript fundamentals; proven ability to write clean,  
well-structured code (not just glue code).  
● Deep mobile fundamentals: performance profiling, memory management, networking,  
offline storage, and app lifecycle.  
● Hands-on experience with mobile CI/CD and release pipelines (Fastlane, EAS, GitHub  
Actions/Bitrise/CircleCI, etc.).  
● Experience with OTA updates and feature flagging strategies.

● Excellent understanding of iOS/Android UX patterns and App Store / Play Store  
requirements.  
● Leadership experience guiding a remote or cross-functional team; strong communication  
and accountability.  
Nice-to-have  
● Expo (managed workflow) and EAS build experience.  
● Node.js API familiarity (to collaborate effectively with backend teams).  
● Advanced UI/graphics work (e.g., maps/GPS, charts, OpenGL/Canvas, animation-heavy  
experiences).  
● Experience in fintech, loyalty, e-commerce, delivery/logistics, gaming or high-traffic  
consumer apps.  
● PostgreSQL knowledge and data modelling awareness (helpful for end-to-end thinking).  
What we look for (craft + ownership)  
● You sweat the details (pixel-perfect UI, clean diffs, reusable components, and consistent  
conventions).  
● You are pragmatic: you choose the simplest architecture that will scale, and you know  
when to refactor.  
● You ship reliably: predictable delivery, clear risk management, and high-quality releases.  
● You can defend your technical decisions and document trade-offs.  
What to include in your application  
● Links to shipped apps (App Store / Google Play) and/or GitHub/portfolio.  
● A brief note on your most complex React Native project and what you owned end-to-end.
