This role involves leveraging modern AI coding assistants to accelerate delivery without compromising quality.


Responsibilities


  • Design, develop, test and deploy high-quality cross-platform mobile applications using React Native and TypeScript for iOS and Android.


  • Take ownership of feature delivery end-to-end, from technical design through release, monitoring and post-launch iteration.


  • Translate product requirements into clear technical specifications and design documents.


  • Contribute to and influence the mobile architecture, including state management, navigation, offline behavior, modularization and native bridges.


  • Work with the React Native New Architecture (Fabric, TurboModules, JSI) and Hermes to deliver performant, memory-efficient applications.


  • Build and maintain reusable component libraries and shared modules used across multiple Foodhub brands and applications.


  • Develop and integrate native modules in Swift and Kotlin where required, and debug native build issues across Xcode and Android Studio.


  • Optimize application performance, including bundle size, startup time, frame rates, list virtualization, memory usage and crash rates.


  • Implement and maintain robust automated testing using Jest, React Native Testing Library and end-to-end frameworks such as Detox or Maestro.


  • Own and improve mobile CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Fast lane, EAS Build, App Center or equivalent.


  • Lead code reviews with a strong focus on quality, security, accessibility and maintainability.


  • Establish and maintain project-level AI context configurations and coding standards documentation.


  • Mentor mid-level and junior engineers on React Native, TypeScript, mobile best practices and the responsible use of AI development tools.


  • Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Backend, QA and EPOS/POS teams to translate business requirements into well-scoped technical solutions.


  • Contribute to engineering standards, documentation, technical specifications and the continuous improvement of team processes.


Preferred Skills


  • Familiarity with emerging standards such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and the integration of AI tooling into developer workflows is desirable.


Requirements


Qualifications


  • Minimum 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.


  • At least 5 years of hands-on production experience building React Native applications in TypeScript.


  • Demonstrable experience shipping and maintaining mobile applications that are live on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.


Required Skills


  • Strong, advanced-level TypeScript skills, including strict mode, generics, discriminated unions, utility types and disciplined API typing.


  • Practical experience with the React Native New Architecture (Fabric, TurboModules, JSI) and the Hermes JavaScript engine.


  • Deep understanding of React Native internals, including the bridge, lifecycle, rendering pipeline, reconciliation and threading model.


  • Experience writing or extending native modules in Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android).


  • Proficiency with modern state management approaches such as Redux Toolkit, Zustand, Jotai, MobX or React Query.


  • Strong working knowledge of React Navigation, including deep linking, universal links, App Links and complex navigation patterns.


  • Experience with offline-first architectures, secure local storage, push notifications, background tasks and OTA updates.


  • Hands-on experience with mobile CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Fast lane, EAS Build, Bitrise or App Center.


  • Strong testing discipline using Jest, React Native Testing Library and at least one end-to-end framework.


  • Solid understanding of REST and/or GraphQL API integration, authentication flows and secure communication on mobile.


  • Working knowledge of mobile application security best practices.


  • Proficiency with Git and modern branching workflows.


  • Daily, hands-on use of AI coding assistants as a core part of the development workflow.
