Senior Software Engineer React Native at PrizePicks
PrizePicks is seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in TypeScript and React Native to join their Sweats team. This role involves designing, building, and owning critical features within the PrizePicks React Native mobile application. You will tackle complex technical problems, define the technical path from product idea to production, and mentor engineers. This is an opportunity to craft exceptional mobile experiences and impact a product used by millions.
What You’ll Do
- Architect and implement complex features and interaction flows in the React Native app, focusing on performance, accessibility, and user experience.
- Lead the technical design and implementation of features from product requirements through deployment and monitoring.
- Diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks, optimize rendering, reduce bundle size, and improve app responsiveness.
- Propose and drive architectural decisions for team's mobile features, evaluating tradeoffs and communicating recommendations.
- Provide hands-on mentorship to engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
- Define, advocate for, and improve best practices in component architecture, testing, accessibility, and mobile deployment.
- Collaborate with Product Managers, Designers, QA, and other engineering teams to translate product goals into technical solutions.
- Participate in an on-call rotation for production incidents, contributing to root cause analysis and reliability improvements.
What You Have
- 5–8 years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time building production React Native applications.
- Proven track record of owning and delivering complex, multi-component mobile features in a team environment.
- Experience with the full mobile development lifecycle, including app store submission and post-release monitoring.
- Experience building mobile applications backed by large-scale, high-throughput distributed systems serving millions of users.
- Expert-level TypeScript proficiency, writing clean, type-safe, well-tested production code.
- Deep React Native expertise, including performance optimization, native module integration, complex animations, and platform-specific considerations.
- Strong experience with Expo and its ecosystem.
- Proficiency with monorepo tooling (Yarn workspaces or similar).
- Solid understanding of mobile testing strategies, including Jest for unit/component testing and experience with Maestro for E2E testing.
- Experience with CI/CD for mobile and Expo/EAS workflows (build pipelines, OTA updates, app store deployment).
- Understanding of observability in mobile (crash reporting, performance monitoring, analytics integration).
- Comfortable working autonomously on ambiguous problems with minimal direction.
- Effective communicator, able to articulate technical decisions to engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience working in a fully remote engineering organization.
- Ability to context-switch between deep technical work and collaborative planning.
What Makes You Stand Out
- Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools (coding, planning, scoping, code review).
- Experience integrating AI tooling into engineering workflows to accelerate team productivity.
