About the role
We are looking for a senior, highly autonomous engineer to take ownership of our cross-platform application stack, with a strong focus on React and Capacitor.
You will be responsible for building new applications and leading the migration away from legacy Angular/Ionic apps into a modern React-based architecture. This role requires someone who can operate independently for extended periods, make sound technical decisions, and deliver reliably without constant oversight.
Responsibilities
Build and maintain cross-platform mobile applications using React + Capacitor
Lead the migration from Angular/Ionic to a modern React-based stack
Design and implement high-quality, user-focused interfaces
Develop API integrations and backend-connected features
Own the end-to-end app release process, including:
Publishing to Apple App Store and Google Play
Managing provisioning, signing, and deployment workflows
Ensure performance, scalability, and reliability, particularly during high-traffic periods and peak usage events
Handle production issues, including debugging edge cases that emerge at scale (e.g. concurrency, race conditions)
Contribute to secure handling of sensitive data and payment flows
Make pragmatic architectural decisions and drive delivery forward
Requirements
Strong experience with TypeScript and React
Hands-on experience building and shipping apps using Capacitor (strict requirement, alternatives like React Native are not suitable)
Proven experience publishing mobile apps to app stores (iOS and Android)
Strong understanding of:
Mobile app lifecycle, permissions, and platform constraints
App store submission and release processes
Experience with:
REST APIs and third-party integrations
Authentication and secure data handling
Ability to work independently for 1–2 days without guidance, prioritizing tasks and maintaining progress
Experience dealing with real-world scale challenges, such as:
High throughput systems
Traffic spikes and performance bottlenecks
Reliability in production environments
Nice to Have
Exposure to Angular and/or Ionic (for legacy system understanding only)
Experience with Node.js for light backend work (API integrations, minor services)
Familiarity with:
Payment integrations (e.g. Stripe or similar platforms)
Firebase (Auth, Push Notifications, etc.)
CI/CD pipelines and monitoring tools
Ideal Profile
Senior engineer with strong ownership and accountability
Comfortable working in a small, fast-paced environment
Able to self-direct and make decisions without constant input
Practical, product-focused, and experienced in real-world production systems
