We've partnered with a well-backed startup in the agtech space with their search for a lead mobile engineer.  Their product allows farmers to achieve rotational grazing without the need of building and breaking down costly fencing.  The role will work on a hybrid basis in the Austin office. 
 
What you'll do:
  • Lead, build and scale the React Native / Expo app from an early stage, shipping to both the App Store and Play Store

  • Own the mapping and geolocation experience ranchers use to manage cattle in the field

  • Design the data flows and offline/sync behavior that keep the app in lockstep with our backend and connected devices

  • Integrate with wearable hardware (BLE/NFC)

  • Debug and optimize across both iOS and Android

  • Use AI-assisted development to move fast — while verifying your own work and not sacrificing code quality or readability

  • Monitor and optimize app performance — load times, responsiveness, and battery efficiency in the field, where ranchers rely on the app on long days away from a charger

What you'll bring:
  • 4+ years building production mobile applications, with strong experience in typescript React Native apps.

  • Shipped and maintained apps on both the App Store and Play Store

  • Comfortable debugging natively on both iOS and Android

  • Experience driving design & product-level decisions

  • Willing to work in-person in Austin and to eventually build and lead a team

  • Experience in automated UI testing

Nice to haves:

  • Expo experience

  • Mapping/geolocation experience (mapbox specifically)

  • BLE / NFC experience

  • Hardware integration background
