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.
