We're looking for a Lead Native App Engineer to join our team and take full ownership of an exciting new, unannounced project.
We hope you are someone who:
Feels a deep sense of ownership over the apps you build, because you’ll own this entire codebase end-to-end.
Has a strong background in developing native apps for iOS and Android using React Native, preferably with experience using platforms like Expo.
Is comfortable building for the desktop and has experience with frameworks like Tauri or Electron.
Obsessively sweats the details: performance, animations, offline states, edge cases, and the stuff most people ignore.
Has a hacker’s spirit; unafraid to dive into native code when needed, or figure out a gnarly build system issue.
Thrives when given full autonomy, but also loves supporting teammates and sharing knowledge.
Cares deeply about the user experience and tries to see every problem through the user’s eyes.
Communicates clearly and frequently (we do a lot of async writing and reading).
Enjoys being a generalist who can stretch across frameworks and platforms.
Is naturally curious and always looking to learn the “why” behind the “how”.
Balances craft with pragmatism - knows when to polish, and when to just ship.
