About the role

  • We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer specializing in React Native development for our customer-facing mobile app, built and shipped in tandem with work on the Straight Arrow website.
  • We're looking for an engineer whose primary impact is the code itself: the architecture you choose, the patterns you set in the codebase, the bugs you don't ship, the bar you hold in code review.
  • If you're a strong senior engineer who's also been the person teammates lean on for technical direction, code review, mentorship, and "let me show you how I'd approach that," this role is built for you.

Responsibilities

  • Own architecture and day-to-day development of our React Native / Expo mobile application.
  • Partner closely with our API engineers, not as a downstream consumer, but as a co-author of requirements and contracts.
  • Collaborate daily with product, design, and QA to translate ambiguous customer problems into clean, shippable solutions.
  • Drive technical decisions with a relentless customer focus: what we ship has to work, in the real world, on real devices, for real users.
  • Hands-on experience using Expo as a development platform - managed workflow, EAS Build / Submit / Update, and the tradeoffs involved.
  • Ability to write and maintain native bridges - comfort dropping into Swift/Objective-C and Kotlin/Java when needed.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with substantial recent experience in React Native development.
  • Experience working with an API, helping define requirements, shape contracts, and contribute to implementation decisions.

Nice to have

  • Experience integrating with a WordPress backend.
  • Experience with user management and subscription / paywall platforms such as Piano.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and mobile-specific delivery (TestFlight, Play Console, OTA updates via EAS).
  • Experience working with consent management systems.
  • Experience shipping in a media, news, or content-heavy product environment.
  • Small, focused team - your work and your judgment will be visible from day one.
  • Real ownership of a customer-facing mobile codebase, not a slice of someone else's roadmap.
  • Mission-driven work in a media environment that takes its responsibility to readers seriously.

Skills

  • Strong written and verbal communication; comfort operating autonomously in a fully remote environment.

Compensation

  • The salary range for this position is $150,000-$165,000, depending on experience and qualifications.

Benefits

  • SAN offers comprehensive health and wellness coverage that ensures our employees have the care and coverage they need to stay healthy, build current and future financial security and maintain work-life balance.
  • All full-time employees and their dependents are eligible to enroll in our benefits.
  • That includes generous paid time off, paid holidays and floating holidays; health coverage, vision and dental plans; retirement plans like the company's 401(k) plan with company match; and more.
  • Straight Arrow is committed to providing equal employment opportunities for all applicants and employees, regardless of race, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, marital status, or veteran status.
