We are looking for a Software Engineer (React Native) to help us deliver delightful, engaging mobile experiences for our student and renter audience. This role goes beyond building apps — it’s about creating a mobile journey that grows in value the longer a user stays with us, from their first rental through to sharer living and beyond. You’ll work closely with product, design, and our full stack teams to:

Build apps that feel smooth, reliable, and engaging.
Enable A/B testing and experimentation to iterate quickly and optimise user experience.
Establish CI/CD pipelines tailored to mobile applications, ensuring faster delivery with confidence.
Incorporate analytics, marketing, and engagement features that drive retention and growth.
This is an opportunity to shape not only the app itself, but also how we deliver mobile experiences as a business.

Key responsibilities

Design and build React Native applications with offline-first capabilities and GraphQL integration.
Implement A/B testing frameworks to drive data-informed improvements.
Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines for mobile (build, test, deploy to app stores).
Collaborate with product and design to create delightful, user-focused experiences.
Build end-to-end test automation using Detox or Maestro.
Incorporate deep-linking, push notifications, marketing SDKs, and analytics into mobile apps.
Document best practices and support iterative development cycles.

Skills and experience

Essential:

Proven track record of delivering React Native mobile applications into production.
Strong focus on building engaging and delightful user experiences with strong attention to detail.
Experience with iterative development and experimentation (A/B testing, feature flags, rapid releases).
Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines for mobile (e.g. Fastlane, App Center, Bitrise, or equivalent).
Knowledge of offline-first architecture and GraphQL integrations.
Familiarity with Detox or Maestro for automated mobile testing.
Strong collaboration skills across product, design, and fullstack teams.

Desirable:

Experience developing or integrating native plugins (iOS/Android) within React Native.
Familiarity with app store deployment, release management, and OTA (over-the-air) updates.
Background in growth and engagement analytics (Firebase, Segment, Amplitude, etc.).
Understanding of modular architecture patterns for mobile apps.
Strong documentation and communication skills to help define and share mobile strategy.
