Senior React Native Developer

Senior React Native Developer | Auckland | Permanent

About the Organisation

This is one of New Zealand's most recognised consumer technology organisations. Their mobile apps sit on the phones of millions of New Zealanders — opened daily, relied upon, and held to a high standard.

The mobile engineering team operates with shared ownership and peer leadership. They build with craft and ship with confidence.

About the Role

This isn't a role for someone who's added features inside someone else's React Native codebase. This is for a developer who has owned the full mobile development lifecycle from architecture decisions through to shipping a live app on both iOS and Android.

You'll co-lead the mobile app space alongside another experienced lead, working across consumer-facing applications used at scale across NZ.

What you'll actually be doing:

• Leading development across React Native, TypeScript and Expo
• Guiding app performance, stability and release quality end to end
• Shaping mobile engineering standards, testing, accessibility, design systems
• Partnering with product, design, web and platform teams on end-to-end delivery
• Using AI tooling as an accelerator with judgement, not just automation

Skills and Experience

• Valid NZ work right
• Full lifecycle React Native experience, you've shipped a live app, not just contributed to one
• Strong TypeScript skills
• Solid working knowledge of iOS and Android environments
• A calm, considered approach, collaborative not directive
• Expo experience advantageous

Benefits

• Competitive salary, depending on experience
• Hybrid working with flexible hours
• Comprehensive medical, life and income protection insurance
• Additional $1800 credit every year to use it across the products
• Employee share scheme access
• Four weeks annual leave plus purchased leave options

How to Apply

Apply with your CV and include the app(s) you've shipped. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to walk through a full lifecycle build they've owned, what you decided, what you shipped, and what you'd do differently.

This role is not suited to developers whose React Native experience is limited to feature work within an existing codebase.
