Overview

Senior Product Engineer (React Native) at Yonder. Join our growing frontend team building the Android and iOS applications in React Native and the web-app in Next.js.

What you’ll do

• Develop our iOS and Android mobile apps: deliver product and design vision in iOS and Android apps using React Native, add latest features, iterate existing ones, and ensure a great member experience.
• Build out our web-app in Next.js: contribute to the web app foundations and bring the latest technologies to deliver a web experience that complements the mobile apps.
• Collaborate in cross-functional squads: work closely with product and design teams to create magical moments across all frontend clients.
• Own the full development lifecycle: define stories, oversee testing, and manage deployments to get products into members’ hands quickly.
• Lead technical discussions: influence architecture, tool selection, and methodologies to push technical boundaries.
• Mentorship and team leadership: mentor the frontend team and grow technical capabilities across frontend technologies.
• Identify and drive improvements: proactively find inefficiencies or bottlenecks and own their implementation to deliver lasting value.

You’re a great fit if you

• You know React Native inside-out and have shipped high-grade apps; capable with technologies like Reanimated to enhance user moments.
• Skilled in Next.js with server-side rendering for robust web applications.
• You sweat the small stuff: attention to detail and strong collaboration with design to create exceptional experiences.
• Cross-platform expertise: deliver delightful experiences across iOS and Android with attention to platform nuances.
• Familiarity with design systems: understand when to apply or adapt a design system.
• Think like a product engineer: solve problems with a clear user-centric rationale.
• Thrive in ambiguity: set direction and navigate challenges in uncertain environments.
• Own quality through automated testing: write thorough automated tests and coordinate with the squad to ensure reliability.

You won’t be a great fit if

• Prefer working in large, structured teams over fast-moving, evolving environments.
• Focus solely on technical perfection without balancing customer impact and business needs.
• Struggle with ownership or decision-making when the path isn’t fully defined.
• Are uncomfortable working outside your core expertise (e.g., infrastructure, DevOps, or unfamiliar parts of the stack).
• Seek a strict 9–5 schedule; our pace can require flexibility beyond standard hours when shipping.
