What You’ll Do

  • Own feature development: Take ownership of features end-to-end — from technical design through delivery — breaking complex UI and interaction flows into well-scoped, deliverable pieces.
  • Write high-quality code: Produce TypeScript and React Native code that is clean, performant, well-tested, and raises the bar for the codebase.
  • Contribute to architecture: Participate in team-level architectural decisions around component patterns, state management, navigation, and performance optimization.
  • Improve quality proactively: Identify opportunities to improve app performance, code quality, accessibility, and developer experience — and act on them.
  • Guide junior engineers: Provide technical guidance to Software Engineers I and II through thorough code reviews, pairing sessions, and design feedback.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with Product, Design, and QA to validate technical decisions and ensure alignment between product goals and implementation.
  • Participate in on-call rotation: Take increasing ownership of incident response, contributing to root cause analysis and systemic improvements.
  • Build team knowledge: Document technical decisions, component patterns, and architecture to strengthen your team’s shared understanding.

What You Have

Experience:

  • 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time building React or React Native applications
  • History of delivering complex features within a software team to drive business outcomes
  • Experience breaking down ambiguous requirements into concrete technical plans
  • Exposure to large-scale, high-traffic applications — you understand the challenges of building mobile experiences that serve millions of concurrent users

Technical Skills:

  • Advanced proficiency in TypeScript — you write clean, type-safe, production-quality code
  • Strong React Native experience — deep understanding of component lifecycle, hooks, performance optimization, and native module integration
  • Familiarity with Expo and its ecosystem
  • Experience with state management solutions and complex navigation patterns
  • Solid testing practices — unit and component testing with Jest, familiarity with Maestro or similar E2E testing frameworks
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Expo/EAS workflows — app store releases, OTA updates
  • Understanding of mobile-specific concerns — performance profiling, memory management, and platform differences

Working Style:

  • Autonomous — you can take an ambiguous problem and drive it to a well-defined solution
  • Comfortable providing and receiving direct technical feedback
  • Strong written communicator, especially important in a fully remote environment
  • Able to balance deep technical work with collaborative design and planning
  • Foster a strong team environment, we enjoy team happy hours and off-site gatherings to get to know one another

What Makes You Stand Out

  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools for coding, planning, and scoping work
  • Experience with agentic coding tools and AI-augmented development workflows
  • Prior experience working in a remote engineering organization
  • Experience building reactive UIs that handle high-frequency data updates (e.g., Live data, Web sockets and real-time player scoring) with minimal performance impact
  • A sharp eye for using animations and haptics to signal "critical moments" that enhance the minute to minute gameplay
  • Understanding how to build layouts specifically for the "second screen" experience, where users are watching the game and the app during intense moments.
  • Experience or interest in building high-stakes financial visualizations for DFS or prediction markets, with a focus on real-time Sweat elements like live P&L tickers, dynamic price movement graphs, and interactive exposure charts similar to elite fintech or trading platforms.
