We are looking for an App Developer, to join a small, highly collaborative mobile squad responsible for optimizing and evolving our sports app.
You'll primarily focus on creating engaging community experiences that keep users coming back - from social feeds and bet sharing to chat functionality and future interactive features. Beyond shipping new experiences, you'll help improve performance, optimize the app, and contribute to the technical direction of our React Native platform.
This is an opportunity to have a significant impact on a product that's central to our future growth, helping move users from web-first experiences to an app-first ecosystem.
You'll work closely with Product, Design and Engineering teammates and play an important role in shaping both the product and how the team builds it.
Your Impact
- Build and evolve our mobile app: Develop, maintain, and optimize our React Native application using Expo, delivering high-quality features that support performance, scalability, and an exceptional user experience.
- Create engaging community experiences: Design and deliver features such as social feeds, bet sharing, chat, and other interactive experiences that encourage users to engage with the app and keep coming back.
- Collaborate across disciplines: Partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering teams to transform ideas into intuitive, user-centric mobile experiences while contributing to technical discussions and architectural decisions.
- Champion app quality and reliability: Monitor application health using Crashlytics, proactively troubleshoot issues, and continuously improve app performance, stability, and release quality.
- Drive the growth of our mobile platform: Help establish React Native best practices, support other engineers as mobile development expands, and contribute to the technical direction of the app across squads.
What You'll Bring
- 5+ years of software development experience, including 3+ years building mobile apps with React Native.
- Strong expertise with React, Expo, EAS, and TypeScript.
- Deep knowledge of iOS development, Apple Human Interface Guidelines, and app distribution via TestFlight.
