Senior Software Developer - Mobile Technologies (Miami/Hybrid)
About The Role
Boats Group runs some of the most heavily trafficked marketplaces in the boating world, and React Native is a first-class platform here-not an experiment or a wrapper. Our mobile apps power discovery, messaging, lead flow, and transactions for millions of users and thousands of dealers globally.
As a Senior Mobile Engineer (React Native), you'll work on a long-lived React Native codebase where architecture, performance, and developer experience actually matter. You'll help shape how we structure shared components, manage state, handle offline and flaky-network scenarios, and integrate cleanly with native iOS and Android when it counts.
This is a role for engineers who enjoy going deep: profiling performance, eliminating re-render bottlenecks, designing scalable patterns, and making pragmatic tradeoffs between shared and platform-specific code. You'll collaborate closely with backend and product partners, but you'll also have real ownership over mobile technical direction-what we standardize, what we refactor, and what we never let regress.
If you're excited by React Native at scale, care about clean abstractions and production-grade quality, and want your work in the hands of a massive, real user base, Boats Group gives you both the challenge and the leverage.
What You'll Do
- Build and ship production-grade React Native applications used by a large, real-world audience
- Drive adoption of modern React Native capabilities and performance improvements
- Own features from idea architecture implementation App Store / Play Store
- Architect reusable components and modular application structure
- Collaborate closely with product, design, backend, and architecture partners
- Help define mobile engineering standards, patterns, and long-term technical direction
- Mentor other engineers through thoughtful code reviews and technical leadership
- Translate business goals into elegant, scalable mobile solutions
What You Must Have
- BS in Computer Science/related field of study or equivalent experience developing and maintaining complex consumer mobile applications in a dynamic and fast-paced environment
- Experience in advanced implementations using React Native preferably experience with React Native New Architecture and frameworks like TanStack Query.
- Strong debugging, profiling, and performance optimization skills
- Solid experience with Redux or similar state management tools
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript
- A solid understanding of continuous integration, continuous deployment with Github Actions
- Experience publishing React Native apps to their respective stores (and working through their respective approval processes)
- An understanding of web services (RESTful and RPC based), JSON payloads with stateless restful polyglot services
- An understanding of agile software development practices
What You Should Have
- Experience publishing apps to App Store and Google Play
