We are seeking a Staff Engineer, React Native to join our Digital Engineering team and drive the technical direction of our multi-brand mobile ecosystem. This role is focused on enterprise-grade mobile application development with React Native, delivering highly performant, resilient, and scalable digital experiences across iOS and Android. As a Staff Engineer, you will define the technical standards for mobile architecture, performance optimization, secure integrations, and CI/CD pipelines. You will partner closely with backend, design, and product teams to shape how we deliver engaging mobile applications to millions of customers. Exposure to GitHub Copilot (or similar AI-powered developer tools) and Generative AI (GenAI) is a plus, particularly in accelerating developer productivity and powering personalized, intelligent in-app experiences. Inspire is a multi-brand restaurant company whose portfolio includes more than 33,000 Arby’s, Baskin-Robbins, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dunkin’, Jimmy John’s, and SONIC restaurants across nearly 60 global markets. In an industry facing increasing disruption, our leaders saw an opportunity to build a restaurant company unlike any other – one that brings together differentiated yet complementary brands and aims to make them stronger than they would be on their own. Found inherently in the purposes of our family of brands, we identified a common thread between our restaurants – the capacity to inspire. From guest experience to career development to community well-being, Inspire plays a role in the lives of millions of people every day. Our brands are diverse, distinctive, and fan favorites. In a sense, you could say we seek those who provide something different than the norm.
