  • Working Hours: Mon-Fri (Hybrid)

  • Remuneration: Up to $9,000 + AWS

  • Employment Type: Contract (1 year renewable with chances of conversion)


Job Overview


We are looking for a Frontend Engineer to join our engineering team, building and maintaining mobile applications using React Native. You will play a key role in developing user-facing features for a mobile platform, with the flexibility to work close to native code on iOS and Android when performance, platform-specific behaviour, or third-party SDK integration calls for it.


Key Responsibilities



  • Design, build, and maintain cross-platform mobile applications using React Native

  • Bridge native iOS (Swift/Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin/Java) modules where React Native alone cannot meet platform requirements

  • Collaborate with backend engineers to integrate APIs and ensure smooth data flow between mobile clients and backend services

  • Optimise application performance, responsiveness, and stability across both iOS and Android

  • Work with product and design teams to translate requirements and UI/UX designs into functional, polished mobile experiences

  • Troubleshoot and resolve bugs, crashes, and platform-specific issues

  • Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices for mobile development

  • Stay current with mobile platform updates (iOS/Android OS releases) and React Native ecosystem changes, assessing impact on the application


Required Qualifications



  • Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in React Native development

  • Working knowledge of native iOS development (Swift/Objective-C) and native Android development (Kotlin/Java)

  • Experience integrating RESTful APIs and handling asynchronous data in mobile applications

  • Familiarity with mobile app deployment processes (App Store, Google Play submission and release cycles)

  • Understanding of mobile UI/UX principles and responsive design across device types


Preferred Qualifications



  • Experience with state management libraries (e.g. Redux, MobX, Zustand)

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for mobile app builds and releases
  • Exposure to authentication/authorisation flows (e.g. biometric auth, SSO, Singpass or similar)
  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum development environments
