About the roleYou'll join the Spend org, which is reshaping corporate spending from millions to billions of dollars in transactions every month.

You will take ownership of our React Native architecture, working alongside backend engineers, Product Managers, and Designers to define the future of corporate travel on mobile.

- Contribute across the stack by working on our React-based web application to ensure feature parity and code sharing where appropriate.
- Collaborate with backend engineers to define API contracts and with the broader Mobile Platform team to align on architectural standards.
- Propose and roll out technical initiatives that align the mobile codebase with industry best practices for quality, observability, and testing.
- Participate in the on-call rotation and own the reliability of the mobile experience in production.
- Take ambiguous product requirements for mobile workflows and turn them into concrete, actionable engineering plans.
What you will need- 5+ years of professional experience as a software engineer, with a strong focus on mobile development.
- Deep expertise in building high-quality mobile applications using React Native, with an understanding of the bridge, performance optimization, and mobile-specific constraints.
- Familiarity with native iOS (Swift/Obj-C) and Android (Kotlin/Java) development is a strong plus for debugging and building native modules.
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and React, with the ability to contribute to web codebases.
- Demonstrate a keen product sense that advocates for delivering exceptional, consumer-grade customer experiences on mobile devices.
