Employment Type: Full-time
Joining time frame: 2 weeks (maximum 1 month)

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop robust, maintainable mobile features using React Native + TypeScript
• Build and maintain app navigation flows using React Navigation (stack/tabs) with scalable routing patterns
• Implement high-performance UI interactions and animations using React Native Reanimated
• Integrate and maintain native modules (Swift/Obj-C, Kotlin/Java) and custom bridge implementations
• Work with platform-specific APIs (camera, biometrics, geolocation, file system) ensuring privacy-aware behavior
• Configure and optimize Metro bundler (custom configs, performance tuning, build reliability)
• Implement and maintain push notifications and messaging flows (e.g., Firebase), including deep links and app states
• Ensure application performance, stability, and high availability through profiling, crash analysis, and optimizations
• Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; contribute to test strategy and automation
• Own release readiness practices: versioning, rollout planning, hotfix strategy, and store compliance

Required Skills & Experience

• 4+ years of professional software development experience with strong mobile delivery exposure
• Strong hands-on experience with React Native in production apps
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern React patterns (hooks, composition, state management)
• Experience integrating native code with React Native:
• iOS: Swift/Obj-C bridging, CocoaPods dependency management
• Android: Kotlin/Java bridging, Gradle build configuration

Solid understanding of:

• Mobile performance optimization (rendering, startup time, memory, battery usage)
• App lifecycle behavior, background execution, and offline-first considerations
• Debugging production issues (crashes, ANRs, native stack traces, JS errors)
• Secure mobile development practices (storage, auth tokens, device security constraints)
• Experience with CI/CD for mobile (automated builds, signing, distribution, staged rollouts)
• Experience with analytics, monitoring, and crash reporting (e.g., Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry)
• Tech Stack & Architecture
• Mobile Core
• React Native for cross-platform development
• TypeScript for type-safe mobile development
• React Navigation (Native Stack & Bottom Tabs)
• React Native Reanimated for smooth animations
• Metro bundler with custom configurations
