Their mission is to democratize access to global financial markets—including crypto, equities, and commodities—by leveraging decentralized technology. To date, their platform has processed $65B+ in cumulative trading volume, generated eight figures in revenue, and supports over 400,000 registered traders. They are a small, elite team of individual contributors who value autonomy, ownership, and rapid execution. They are looking for a Staff Mobile Engineer who views React Native as a craft. You will sit at the intersection of engineering, design, and product, turning raw speed into a premium mobile experience that feels intentional and indistinguishable from a native app. Key Responsibilities: - Set Direction: Drive the technical and experiential roadmap for their mobile platform. - High-Performance UI: Develop elegant React Native interfaces for real-time trading, analytics, and social features. - Motion & Polish: Implement fluid animations, expressive gestures, and tactile feedback using Reanimated and Gesture Handler. - System Architecture: Design a resilient real-time data layer using TypeScript to handle WebSockets and connectivity changes gracefully. - Native Bridging: Unlock advanced platform capabilities or UI primitives by bridging native modules where JavaScript falls short. - Collaboration: Partner with backend engineers to design bandwidth-efficient APIs and optimize data flows for mobile. Interview Process - Founder / CEO Interview: Initial alignment on vision and culture. - Technical Assignment: A practical demonstration of your coding and UI/UX skills. - Final Interview: Deep dive into technical architecture and team fit.
Job Requirements
- They are looking for a "0-to-1" engineer who thrives in low-process, high-trust environments.
- Experience: 5+ years of shipping production-grade React Native applications using TypeScript.
- Animation Mastery: Deep hands-on experience with React Native Reanimated and React Native Gesture Handler.
- Visual Flair: Experience with Shopify React Native Skia or similar low-level rendering tools for custom charts and visuals.
- Performance Expertise: Proven ability to maintain 60 FPS experiences across complex animated lists and real-time data views.
- Platform Knowledge: Strong understanding of iOS and Android layout, motion, and interaction nuances.
- Product Mindset: Experience owning features end-to-end—from initial prototype to App Store/Play Store release.
- Tooling: Familiarity with profiling using Flipper, Xcode Instruments, or Android Studio.
- Bonus Points:
- Native experience in Swift/SwiftUI or Kotlin.
- Background in highly interactive consumer products (fintech/trading apps, games, or creative tools).
- Open-source contributions to the React Native ecosystem.
Benefits
- Competitive Compensation: Base salary up to $250k for exceptional candidates, plus a significant Tokens/Equity package.
