At Feeld, we are creating a world where everyone is more intimately connected to each other and themselves. We are building an inclusive, human-centered product and are looking for a Staff Frontend Engineer (React Native / Mobile) to join our remote team and support our mission to elevate the human experience of sexuality and relationships.
Our mobile app is the primary way members experience Feeld. As we continue to scale, we need stronger ownership of mobile architecture, performance, and cross‑platform quality so we can ship product faster while keeping reliability high. This role exists to ensure our React Native foundation, iOS/Android delivery practices, and technical direction keep pace with the ambitions of the product and the needs of our growing member base.
Team context
You’ll be an Individual Contributor on the Platform team. You’ll partner closely with other Frontend ICs (and regularly pair for mentorship and learning) while influencing multiple product squads that ship on mobile. You’ll collaborate with Product, Design, QA, Backend, Data, and Security to set and evolve mobile technical standards.
- Hands-on IC role: Yes - Designing, coding, reviewing, and shipping
- Cross-team leadership: Significant - Driving alignment, standards, and decision making across teams, without direct people management
What Success Looks Like
By 6–12 months, you will have:
- Understood the intricacies of our product and its impact on our users, enabling you to make informed decisions that drive our vision forward.
- Learned cutting-edge technologies and methodologies through continuous professional development and collaboration with a team of passionate engineers.
- Established clear mobile technical direction (architecture principles, patterns, and guardrails) that teams follow.
- Delivered measurable improvements in at least 2–3 of: performance, stability/crash rates, startup time, build/release velocity, or app size.
- Increased confidence in production through better observability, incident response practices, and ownership.
- Enabled other FE engineers to move faster through documentation, pairing/mentorship, reviews, and reusable platform components.
What you’ll do
- Own and evolve Feeld’s React Native/mobile architecture, setting patterns that scale across iOS and Android.
- Drive performance and quality (rendering, startup, networking, offline/edge behavior, app size, cross‑platform parity).
- Lead technical discovery and delivery for platform initiatives that unlock product teams (e.g., shared UI foundations, app infrastructure, build tooling).
- Partner with Product and Design to translate goals into resilient technical plans, and help teams make good trade-offs.
- Improve production ownership: instrumentation, alerting, dashboards, runbooks, and reliable release practices.
- Act as a Staff-level IC leader: raise the bar through reviews, pairing, mentorship, and pragmatic decision making across the FE community.
Requirements
- Strong, hands-on experience building and shipping React Native applications in production, including deep TypeScript proficiency.
- Deep knowledge of iOS/Android.
- Track record owning mobile architecture (navigation/state/data layers, modularization, platform abstractions, and long-term maintainability).
- Experience scaling B2C mobile apps with millions of users (high traffic/user counts, complex feature sets) with a focus on reliability and performance.
- Demonstrated production ownership: incident response, debugging complex issues, and improving observability (metrics/logs/traces).
- Experience improving delivery systems (CI/CD, automated testing strategy, release process) and keeping teams moving.
- Staff-level IC behaviors: influencing without authority, aligning stakeholders, writing clear technical docs, and leading through execution.
Nice-to-haves
- iOS/Android native experience or comfort diving into native code when needed.
- Experience with Node.js services and AWS in a product environment.
- Familiarity with feature flagging, experimentation, and analytics instrumentation.
- Experience with mobile security, privacy, or compliance considerations.
- Experience mentoring other senior engineers and shaping standards across multiple teams.
