Senior React Native Developer

Job description

Here at Mindera we are building a world-class team and would love for you to join us.

As a Senior React Native Developer, you will be responsible for building fluid and responsive user interfaces for iOS and Android using React Native, while also owning and managing the mobile release process end-to-end.

Around 60% of your time will be spent developing high-quality, user-centric features, and 40% will be focused on ensuring our software gets into the hands of users smoothly and reliably.

This hybrid role is perfect for someone who enjoys coding but also thrives on process ownership, coordination, and communication.

You will work in a high-performing, self-motivated product development team and collaborate with other full-stack developers across different layers of the product infrastructure.

Building a product is a highly collaborative effort, so we value team players committed to good code and seamless delivery.

For this role, you need to be based in Portugal.
