About this role
Role Overview
You will increase automated test coverage to 90% for critical parts of the application, focusing on areas that are prone to bugs.
You will integrate crash and performance monitoring tools to track and minimize unexpected mobile app behavior in real-time to ensure stability for users through robust error handling, fallback mechanisms, and graceful recovery from failures.
You will lead strategy development on at least one significant feature for the mobile application.
You will work with the team to build, test, and release three core features that involve frontend for React (web) and React Native (mobile).
You will develop an initial baseline and improve performance by 15% in key areas, like reducing application load times and backend request efficiency.
You translate requirements into technical specifications and work to plan, design, develop, and maintain new web and mobile requirements.
Develop and maintain cross-platform features and UI components using React Native (iOS/Android) and React/Ruby on Rails (Web).
Write clean, efficient, and documented code that adheres to established standards and repository organization best practices.
Manage the deployment lifecycle, including contributing to deployment scripts and monitoring post-release application health.
You design, develop, and maintain code integrations and API functionality.
Architect scalable API endpoints and integrations with external systems, ensuring high performance and reliable operation.
Implement robust security measures, including data validation, authentication, and authorization mechanisms.
Optimize and document API performance, providing clear usage guidelines and troubleshooting response times or error handling.
You conduct thorough unit testing of features and bug fixes on both mobile and web platforms to ensure cross-platform consistency and reliability.
Execute comprehensive unit tests to validate the functionality and correctness of individual modules and components.
Manage the full bug lifecycle, from participating in rotation-based error monitoring to root-cause debugging and resolution.
Utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including logging and monitoring systems, to troubleshoot complex technical issues and share findings with the team.
You collaborate with internal and external product, engineering, and quality assurance team members to ensure software products meet the highest standards of quality.
Drive Agile excellence by actively participating in Scrum events, requirement reviews, and technical solution discussions.
Maintain project transparency by communicating progress, risks, and challenges clearly to all stakeholders.
Uphold code quality through rigorous code reviews and a commitment to continuous learning of emerging industry frameworks and best practices.
You support and mentor junior team members in mobile development and full-stack technologies. Guide and mentor engineers through their professional development, offering technical support in mobile and full-stack domains. Foster a culture of improvement by conducting regular knowledge-sharing sessions and providing constructive feedback on peer code.
Requirements
You have 4+ years of experience in full-stack development, including mobile and web technologies.
You have 3+ years of experience with React Native for mobile development, alongside React for web.
