Gametime United - Staff Engineer, Mobile – Tech Lead
Requirements
• React Native Mastery: Deep, production-proven expertise in React Native, including the New Architecture (Fabric/TurboModules), bridging native modules, and cross-platform parity strategies. • React Native Mastery: • AI Tooling & Integration: Experienced leveraging AI for code generation and evangelizing best practices for integrating it into the development workflow. Familiar with shipping AI/ML-powered features in mobile apps — on-device models, LLM-backed experiences, and recommendation systems. • AI Tooling & Integration: • Mobile Platform Expertise: Strong understanding of both iOS (Swift/Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin/Java) native layers — comfortable diving into native code when React Native abstractions aren't sufficient. • Mobile Platform Expertise: • TypeScript: Expert-level TypeScript usage for type safety, scalability, and maintainable codebases across large mobile teams. • TypeScript: • State Management & Architecture: Deep experience with scalable state management patterns (Redux, Zustand, Jotai, or equivalent) and mobile-specific architectural patterns (clean architecture, modular monorepos, etc.). • State Management & Architecture: • Performance Engineering: Expert at diagnosing and resolving React Native and native performance bottlenecks — JS thread, UI thread, bridge overhead, memory, startup time, and render optimization. • Performance Engineering: • Mobile Observability: Strong command of mobile crash reporting, performance monitoring, and analytics tooling (e.g., Firebase, Datadog, Sentry, Amplitude). • Mobile Observability: • App Distribution & Release Engineering: Deep knowledge of App Store and Google Play release processes, phased rollouts, feature flags, and OTA update strategies (e.g., EAS Update). Experienced designing mobile CI/CD pipelines using tools like Bitrise, GitHub Actions, and Fastlane. • App Distribution & Release Engineering: • Testing: Strong culture of testing — unit, integration, and end-to-end testing for mobile using tools like Jest, Detox, or Maestro. • Testing: • Cloud & API Integration: Proficient with RESTful and GraphQL API design and consumption patterns, and cloud infrastructure as it relates to mobile backends (AWS, GCP, or Azure). • Cloud & API Integration: • Leadership & Collaboration • Technical Vision: Defines technical direction for the mobile platform with clarity, conviction, and organizational buy-in. • Technical Vision: • Domain Expertise/Ownership: Deep understanding of the mobile product surface area with the ability to lead initiatives from concept through production at scale. • Domain Expertise/Ownership: • Org-Wide Influence: Shapes engineering practices, architectural decisions, and tooling choices that extend beyond the mobile team to the broader engineering organization. • Org-Wide Influence: • Mentorship: Actively mentors engineers and uplifts team performance through coaching, feedback, and hands-on pairing. • Mentorship: • Project Leadership: Independently manages the full lifecycle of complex, multi-team projects with competing priorities and stakeholders. • Project Leadership: • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Trusted partner to Product, Design, Data, and Engineering peers — able to translate technical constraints into business context and vice versa. • Cross-Functional Collaboration: • Strategic Influence: Helps shape technical direction, roadmap priorities, and engineering best practices at the organizational level. • Strategic Influence: • Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). • Education: • Experience: 10+ years in software engineering, with 5+ years of hands-on experience building and scaling production mobile applications, including significant time in React Native. • What We can Offer: • What We can Offer:
Responsibilities
• Define and drive the long-term technical vision and architecture for Gametime's mobile platform across iOS and Android via React Native. • Explore, evaluate, and champion AI-powered capabilities within the mobile development workflow — including agentic coding tools, on-device intelligence, and AI-driven personalization features. • Own the end-to-end technical strategy for the mobile app, from architecture patterns and platform infrastructure to performance and release engineering. • Lead cross-functional initiatives spanning mobile, backend, product, design, and data teams, ensuring alignment on priorities and execution. • Establish and enforce engineering standards for code quality, testing, observability, and mobile-specific best practices across the org. • Mentor and uplift engineers at all levels through code reviews, architectural guidance, and technical thought leadership. • Drive mobile app performance, reliability, and release quality — including CI/CD pipelines, crash monitoring, and progressive rollout strategies. • Partner with Product and Design to shape the mobile roadmap, translating business goals into technically sound solutions. • Identify and eliminate platform-level bottlenecks that slow down team velocity or degrade user experience. • Promote a high-performing, inclusive engineering culture through tech talks, documentation, and engineering excellence. • Key Competencies • Key Competencies
