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
