What you’ll do:

• Own the end-to-end mobile and web experience for the Digital Key platform. That covers the full flow from NFC tap and BLE connection to lock unlock, enrollment, and audit, across the React Native mini app, the native SDKs, and the admin web portal.

• Lead technical design and architecture for our React Native SDKs and mini apps. This includes things like moving to React Native’s New Architecture (TurboModules, bridgeless mode) and setting clear module boundaries in a large Expo monorepo.

• Write and review production code across the React Native app, TypeScript SDKs, and a Next.js-based web portal, and set the bar for code quality, testing (Jest/TDD), and accessibility.

• Architect hardware integrations by partnering with lock vendors on BLE/NFC SDK contracts and firmware updates, so that unlocks stay reliable across many device types, operating system versions, and store environments.

• Partner with product, design, backend, and host-app teams on API contracts, feature flags, store-by-store rollout plans, and incident response.

• Drive scale and performance work, such as faster BLE connections and higher unlock success rates, offline key caching, app startup time, bundle size, and the effect of permissions and manifest changes on how many devices can install the app.

• Improve how the team operates through mobile observability (telemetry and funnel events, alerting, dashboards), phased releases, runbooks, change management, and healthy on-call.

• Lead platform work on the frontend and mobile side: reusable component libraries, shared SDK tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and better developer experience across the monorepo.

• Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and shape the long-term mobile and web roadmap with engineering leadership.

What you'll bring:

• At 6 yrs experience building React Native applications & modern web solutions.

• Strong expertise in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and JavaScript.

• Experience designing scalable, cloud-native applications using microservices and containerized architectures.

• Proficiency in software design patterns, API design, and building maintainable solutions.

• Experience across the full software development lifecycle, including CI/CD and production support.

• Handson experience with BLE SDK integrations, NFC capabilities, and connected-device ecosystems.

• Experience working in monorepos and building applications at scale with testing practices with JestAbility to leverage datadriven insights to improve engineering processes and product outcomes.

• Proven ability to mentor engineers and influence technical decisions.

• Strong collaboration and communication skills across cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
