Senior React Native Developer Consultant
Position Overview
We are seeking a Senior React Native Developer to lead the development of a unified, multi?platform mobile and web application. This role plays a key part in transitioning from three separate platforms (iOS, Android, Mobile Web) to a single, scalable, global codebase powered by React Native.
You will drive engineering best practices, guide technical decision-making, and work closely with cross?functional teams to ensure rapid, pragmatic delivery without compromising user experience. The ideal candidate has hands?on experience building global, customer-facing apps from a single source of truth while understanding where platform-specific logic is still required.
This role is critical to enabling consistent functionality, faster iteration, and long-term maintainability across all devices and regions.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead architecture and development of a multi-platform application using React Native for iOS, Android, and Mobile Web.
- Build and maintain a single, shared codebase that maximizes reuse while handling platform-specific requirements where needed.
- Partner with UX, product, backend, and native engineers to deliver a seamless customer experience across platforms.
- Optimize performance and scalability of apps deployed globally across different devices, browsers, and network conditions.
- Implement reusable components, libraries, and patterns to support rapid development and efficient feature delivery.
- Collaborate with backend teams to integrate APIs from multiple services into a consistent cross-platform experience.
- Identify and address challenges with browser compatibility, responsive design, and mobile-specific behaviors.
- Advocate for pragmatic engineering solutions that balance speed, code quality, and long-term maintainability.
- Mentor other developers and contribute to building engineering standards and best practices.
Must-Have Qualifications
- Deep experience developing global, customer-facing applications using React Native (5-8+ years preferred).
- Proven experience creating a single codebase that supports both native mobile apps and web apps
- with concrete examples of where shared vs. platform-specific code was used.
- Strong understanding of multi-platform architecture, including:
- React Native + React (for web)
- Platform adapters, conditional logic, and responsive UI patterns
- Challenges of cross-platform performance, navigation, and API integration
- Demonstrated ability to scale applications globally-handling localization, performance optimization, and device diversity.
- Experience collaborating with teams that include both native developers (iOS/Android) and web engineers.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical direction.
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Experience with React Native Web or Expo for Web.
- Knowledge of native iOS/Android development concepts.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for multi-platform releases.
- Experience with analytics, experimentation frameworks, or global feature rollout strategies.
- Strong understanding of UI/UX for responsive and adaptive design.
