About The Position

As a Senior Software Engineer on our Mobile App team, you will act as a core hands-on engineer focused on building, scaling, and maintaining our next-generation React Native mobile platform. You will drive technical execution by authoring clean, high-performance code, establishing robust mobile architecture, and taking end-to-end ownership of complex app features. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional partners and interface closely with our offshore engineering team in India—requiring occasional early morning syncs—to review technical output, enforce engineering standards, and streamline delivery. While primary focus is direct code delivery, you will leverage your deep expertise in React Native to solve complex technical challenges, elevate the platform's reliability and scalable architecture.
