Lead React Native engineerMojo

Are you a mission-driven engineer who is looking for an opportunity to use your React Native (RN) skills to make a real human impact? Here is your chance to step up, join a talented early-stage RN engineering team, and help define the culture and what ‘good’ looks like as we scale.

We are looking for a Lead React Native engineer who has strong attention to detail and is keen to join a fast-growing venture-backed startup. We are currently a two-person React Native team, developing for both native and web platforms. If the idea of building a product from zero to one and seeing a company through the journey from one product team to many gets you excited, this could be for you.

The Role

You’ll be a valued member of our tightknit team and involved in the end-to-end design process to develop our app and deliver a clean and consistent user experience across all our target platforms (web, iOS, and Android). We’re looking for a self-starter who’s comfortable walking the line between building a long-term solid codebase and delivering fast with pragmatism in mind.

We are an entirely digital product, and your work will have a direct impact on real people's lives, and in some instances, help create them.

As we are an early-stage start-up, there is room for you to have a huge impact on the future of the company and a large amount of autonomy to shape your role and get stuck in. You should be comfortable adapting your role and responsibilities as the company grows. We expect this might consist of:

• Support in establishing practices and standards that stand the test of time and shape our engineering culture as we scale our small nimble team
• Collaborating with both the design and backend teams to create visually appealing interfaces that work to a high standard with fast-moving timescales
• Making our React Native apps “feel right” across iOS, Android, and web - with both parity and appropriate variation between each
• Taking leadership on architectural decisions/planning, working with the wider team to guide our design system, maintaining consistency, and holding our work to a high standard
• Handling the “plumbing” - acting as a backstop to solve obscure and hard-to-debug things that might be blocking the rest of the team
• Keeping the development cycle smooth & speedy - filling in the gaps, taking on the sometimes-unenviable tasks like keeping CI functioning, managing big dependencies, doing things that will best enable the other engineers
• Contributing to future project planning. Like if we decided to localize beyond language translation, or thinking of local payment methods. And sometimes beyond pure engineering.
• Working with tools, such as: Expo/EAS, Storybook, Git (monorepo), Figma, Jest, snapshot testing, Sanity CMS – familiarity with some of these is preferred; but can learn on the job with support from the team for any you haven’t encountered (our wider team also uses GCP, Go, BigQuery, Mixpanel & Intercom)
  

We are building a team of people that have real ownership over the business. To be successful here, you should be willing to roll your sleeves up and get your hands dirty on anything that will help the business be more successful.
