Responsibilities
Own the native/RN architecture boundary
Evolve the existing boundary between React Native and native Swift as the app grows
Design the bridge layer so both sides communicate cleanly
Make pragmatic calls - in close collaboration with the native iOS team - on what belongs in RN vs. native, optimizing for code sharing without sacrificing editor performance
Build and own the non-editor surfaces: login, homepage, brand overview, navigation, and new features as they come
Ensure these screens feel native and performant on both iOS and Android
Set patterns and conventions for the RN codebase that the team can build on
Work in the Swift codebase to integrate with the editor and platform APIs
Debug issues that span the RN/native boundary
Contribute to app releases and mobile CI/CD alongside the native iOS team
Monitor crash rates, performance metrics, and user-facing quality
Drive improvements to startup time, navigation fluidity, and overall polish
Partner with editor engineers, designers, and the video platform team
Collaborate with designers who sweat the details
Help shape mobile product direction based on technical possibilities and constraints
Qualification
Required
5+ years building production mobile applications
Strong React Native expertise - you've built and shipped real apps, not just prototypes
Solid iOS native experience (Swift or Objective-C) - you can read, debug, and write native code confidently
You've worked on hybrid architectures where native and cross-platform code coexist
While deep Android native knowledge isn't required, you should be comfortable opening Android Studio and debugging the React Native layer on Android devices
Defined or evolved a native-to-RN migration strategy
Built and maintained bridge modules between React Native and native code
Participated in mobile app release processes (builds, signing, App Store)
Solved performance problems specific to mobile (startup time, memory, animations)
