Senior React Native Engineer - Los Angeles Opendoor.Com
Los Angeles, CA

Job Description

About the role

Today, our software plugs into the existing real estate market via broker-quality data feeds and a network of local real estate agents. We have a web/app feed that helps users house hunt, back-of-house software that helps agents manage transactions, and custom support tools that allow our small team to assist thousands of active buyers through the process. We take a pragmatic, piecemeal approach to crafting software with heavy emphasis on testing, measurement, and iteration.

As a Senior Mobile Engineer, you will work on the Opendoor app, written in React Native and live today on iTunes and Google Play. In addition, you will lead the technical direction, architecture and implementation of our mobile app, collaborate with product managers and designers to understand complex requirements, promote software development best practices, and mentor other engineers. An ideal candidate for this role will have a demonstrated ability to deliver results, high attention to detail, team-player mindset, and curiosity to keep learning

Our stack is Rails, React.js, React Native, and MongoDB, with a heavy peppering of AWS goodies. The only tool we're dogmatic about is simplicity. You should be comfortable developing the full critical path of a new web feature, but we're most excited about front end web and/or native app expertise.

The Role:

* Experience building scalable React Native apps
* Cross functional collaboration with other eng. teams to build modular / reusable react native components
* Provide technical leadership in determination of current limitations and proposing solutions to ensure we're building for the future
* Raise the bar for technical standards, performance, reliability, and overall code quality
