About the role
We have an opening for a Senior React Native Engineer to join our Mexico expansion team, helping to spearhead the initial greenfield build of a new mobile finance app that aims to further our international growth.
We’re looking for someone excited by the idea of joining a small cross-functional product team with a startup mindset, operating within a successful and profitable Fintech business, to support the initial build of a new product offering for a new market.
Our ideal candidate is comfortable building relationships with other established product teams to understand where we can use existing learnings to influence decisions and align on approaches, collaborating with backend engineers to guide and agree API behaviours and expectations through documented contracts, and working closely with product designers to agree on MVP requirements.
You will need a strong track record of building and shipping React Native apps for both Android & iOS to be successful in this role, and written and spoken English at Level B2 or above is a must.

What we're looking for
Written and spoken English at Intermediate (B2) level or above
A solid understanding of modern Javascript with Typescript
You have significant commercial experience with cross-platform native mobile app development using React Native
You have a strong understanding of the different needs of mobile users across a variety of platforms and devices
You’re an advocate for automated testing, and take a pragmatic approach to implementing and improving the various phases of the testing pyramid
You can quickly identify and assess technical debt and are keen to make the case for remedying it whenever the opportunity arises
You have a product mindset. Working with product owners to break down business requirements into deliverable tasks and estimate the complexity of their implementation. You can quickly identify the difficulties of implementing a feature from an initial design wireframe or outline spec and are comfortable putting forward alternative approaches where appropriate
You take ownership of your work, ensuring progress by proactively communicating blockers, seeking feedback, and driving tasks to completion. You actively engage in team ceremonies and collaborate to keep projects moving forward.
You recognise the value of good documentation and understand how, when, and where to capture key decisions - particularly in the early stages of building a new product
What would make you stand out
You’ve used GraphQL in a production environment
You’ve built and launched new products and grown the audience
You have in-depth experience of mobile performance best practices and debugging
Experience employing staged rollouts and multivariate testing approaches to release new features and test hypotheses
A good understanding of UI or UX design. You feel at ease discussing approaches with product designers, and are happy to get involved in making design decisions where required
You’ve built, or worked on, products that have scaled from zero users to tens or hundreds of thousands (or more), and can apply what you learnt in new contexts
Interview Process
A quick video call with a member of our talent team to learn more about you
A 30-minute video call with the hiring manager to discuss your experience and answer any initial technical questions you have about the role
A short React Native coding exercise to complete in your own time
Final interviews
A technical session with your peers where you’ll discuss your solution to the exercise, talk through some problems and scenarios, and dig deeper into your technical experience
An interview with an Engineering Manager to explore your motivations and goals, assess how you could play a part in your team’s success, and better understand how we could help you thrive in your role.
