Responsibilities
- Build and scale mobile applications using React Native, delivering high-quality, performant experiences across iOS and Android
- Own features end-to-end, from early design and architecture through production and iteration

- Integrate and optimize APIs, geospatial data, and real-time workflows within mobile applications
- 3+ years building production applications with React Native
