  • Architect and evolve enterprise-scale React Native mobile applications for iOS and Android.

  • Establish patterns for offline-first capabilities, caching, and data synchronization with backend services. 

  • Design secure integrations with identity providers (Auth0, Azure AD B2C) and payment gateways. 

  • Optimize mobile app performance: bundle size, startup time, animations, network efficiency, and memory usage. 

  • Drive adoption of modular architecture to support multi-brand and multi-tenant capabilities. 

  • Ensure accessibility, localization, and compliance across all apps. 

  • Explore integration of GenAI-driven experiences in mobile apps (personalization, conversational ordering, contextual recommendations). 

 

Delivery & Execution 

  • Provide hands-on leadership for CI/CD automation with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Fastlane. 

  • Establish standards for automated testing: unit (Jest), integration (Detox), and end-to-end (Appium, Playwright for mobile). 

  • Champion automation-first practices including mobile release pipelines, app store deployments, and monitoring. 

  • Drive adoption of GitHub Copilot (or similar AI developer tools) to improve development velocity and code quality. 

  • Partner with backend and API teams to ensure seamless integration of mobile and web ecosystems. 

 

Collaboration & Influence 

  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to deliver mobile-first customer experiences. 

  • Lead technical design reviews, proof-of-concepts, and architecture workshops across geo-distributed teams. 

  • Influence technology strategy across multiple brands to ensure consistency and scalability. 

  • Partner with product, data, and AI teams to integrate GenAI-powered use cases into mobile experiences. 

 

Mentorship & Growth 

  • Mentor engineers on React Native best practices, mobile performance, and modern mobile architecture. 

  • Promote a culture of quality-first, automation-first, and continuous improvement in mobile engineering. 

  • Enable teams to build scalable apps that can be extended across multiple brands with minimal duplication.  

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE QUALIFICATIONS

  • 4 Year Degree and/or Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related field.

  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 3+ years in a Staff/Principal/Lead role. 

  • Proven track record of delivering enterprise-grade mobile applications with React Native. 

  • Strong, hands-on expertise in: 

  • React Native, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), and modern mobile libraries. 

  • State management (Redux, Zustand, Recoil) and navigation frameworks. 

  • Native modules and bridging for iOS (Swift/Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin/Java). 

  • Strong background in mobile app performance optimization and Core Web Vitals equivalent for mobile. 

  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines for mobile apps (GitHub Actions, Fastlane, Azure DevOps). 

  • Experience with GitHub Copilot or similar AI-powered developer tools. 

  • Experience integrating mobile apps with backend APIs (REST/GraphQL). 

  • Strong understanding of mobile security, authentication flows, and app store compliance. 

  • Experience working in agile environments with geo-distributed teams. 

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES

  • Exposure to Generative AI use cases in mobile applications (chatbots, personalization, in-app recommendations). 

  • Experience with multi-brand or white-label app platforms. 

  • Familiarity with mobile observability tools (Firebase Crashlytics, App Center, Datadog, New Relic). 

  • Experience with A/B testing, feature flagging, and remote configuration in mobile apps. 

  • Strong ability to communicate technical trade-offs and architectural choices to executives and engineers. 

  • Awareness of responsible AI practices when implementing GenAI features.
