Requirements

• 4+ years building production mobile applications, with strong experience in typescript React Native apps.
• Shipped and maintained apps on both the App Store and Play Store
• Comfortable debugging natively on both iOS and Android
• Experience driving design & product-level decisions
• Willing to work in-person in Austin and to eventually build and lead a team
• Experience in automated UI testing

Nice To Haves

• Expo experience
• Mapping/geolocation experience (mapbox specifically)

Responsibilities

• Lead, build and scale the React Native / Expo app from an early stage, shipping to both the App Store and Play Store
• Own the mapping and geolocation experience ranchers use to manage cattle in the field
• Design the data flows and offline/sync behavior that keep the app in lockstep with our backend and connected devices
• Integrate with wearable hardware (BLE/NFC)
• Debug and optimize across both iOS and Android
• Use AI-assisted development to move fast — while verifying your own work and not sacrificing code quality or readability
• Monitor and optimize app performance — load times, responsiveness, and battery efficiency in the field, where ranchers rely on the app on long days away from a charger
