About the Role

Their white-label mobile app, available on iOS and Android, is a critical touchpoint for customers’ communities - and a key differentiator in the market. 

We’re seeking a Mobile Developer to take ownership of our React Native app. This is a unique opportunity to modernize and maintain a core product while setting the foundation for future mobile innovation. Initially, the focus will be on stability, bug fixes, and modernization; new features will follow in time.

You’ll work alongside a collaborative team of Ruby on Rails engineers, designers, and product managers to deliver a reliable, polished mobile experience.

Responsibilities:

• Take ownership of our existing React Native mobile app, bringing consistency, performance, and polish.

• Maintain the app and implement regular bug fixes and updates to meet Android/iOS platform standards.

• Refactor and modernize legacy code for long-term maintainability.

• Collaborate with backend engineers (Ruby on Rails) to integrate and optimize API interactions.

• Translate Figma designs into responsive, accessible mobile UI/UX.

• Prepare the app for the addition of future features, such as video learning and quizzes.

• Deploy updates via the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

Essential knowledge, skills & experience:

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience developing and maintaining React Native apps for both iOS and Android.

• Strong experience debugging and upgrading legacy codebases.

• Solid understanding of mobile deployment processes for both platforms.

• Familiarity with RESTful APIs, especially those built with Ruby on Rails (bonus if you can read some Ruby).

• Proven ability to transform design mockups (Figma) into elegant, usable mobile interfaces.

• Self-starter with a sense of ownership and a focus on delivering high-quality, maintainable code.

Nice-to-have (optional)

• Experience working on white-label or multi-tenant mobile apps.

• Familiarity with video playback, interactive learning tools, or quizzes within mobile apps.

• Background in agile SaaS development environments.
