We're looking for a React Native Engineer to build and scale the mobile experience for an AI-powered financial platform. Our AI agent interacts with banks, lenders, and credit bureaus simultaneously for thousands of users. As a React Native engineer, you'll play a key role in building the mobile architecture that makes these real-time, AI-driven experiences reliable, fast, and scalable. You'll work on real-time communication, offline-first data architecture, AI-native chat interfaces, and high-performance mobile experiences used by a growing user base.

Responsibilities:

• Build and enhance the React Native mobile application following established architecture and UI/UX specifications.
• Design and implement a real-time communication layer supporting WebSockets, HTTP polling, and future push-notification channels.
• Build scalable offline-first data architecture, including local storage, synchronization, conflict resolution, and schema migrations.
• Develop AI-native chat experiences supporting streaming responses and multiple message types.
• Build extensible UI infrastructure for text messages, rich cards, suggestions, documents, payment CTAs, score visualizations, and proactive AI nudges.
• Implement robust state management across network, WebSocket, and local database states.
• Optimize application performance, particularly on Android, including FlatList optimization, memory usage, and Hermes.
• Handle mobile-specific scenarios such as background/foreground transitions, network interruptions, token refresh, connection recovery, error handling, and graceful degradation.
• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested, and documented code.
• Collaborate closely with backend, AI/ML, product, and UI/UX teams to deliver scalable mobile experiences.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of hands-on React Native development experience.
• Proven experience shipping production applications to both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
• Strong TypeScript proficiency.
• Strong experience with WebSockets, including connection lifecycle management, reconnection strategies, and event-driven message handling.
• Experience with local data persistence using SQLite, WatermelonDB, or similar technologies.
• Understanding of schema migrations, offline-first architecture, data synchronization, and conflict resolution.
• Strong experience with Redux or equivalent state-management frameworks.
• Experience managing complex asynchronous states without race conditions.
• Strong understanding of Android performance optimization.
• Experience with: FlatList optimization, memory profiling, and Hermes.
• Experience building dynamic/polymorphic UI components from a common data stream.

Good to Have:

• Experience building AI/LLM-powered applications.
• Experience with AI chat interfaces or conversational products.
• Experience with streaming AI responses.
• Push notifications and background processing.
• Experience with financial, fintech, lending, or banking applications.
• Experience designing high-scale consumer mobile applications.
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures.
• Experience with payment-related workflows and interactive mobile components.
