Requirements:

We're looking for a Senior React Native engineer to lead the development, maintenance, and optimization of a React Native SDK built using React Native Bridge and Turbo Modules. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience successfully building and publishing a React Native SDK—either to package managers like NPM or Yarn, or through GitHub releases.

You’ll be responsible for the entire SDK lifecycle — from development and deployment to compliance and long-term maintenance. This role demands deep expertise in React Native, including Bridge and Turbo Modules, as well as strong proficiency in native mobile development (Kotlin for Android and Swift/Objective-C for iOS). A solid understanding of API integration and the ability to troubleshoot complex cross-platform issues end to end is essential.

Responsibilities:

• Design and Develop React Native SDKs -Build robust, scalable, and modular SDKs using React Native Bridge and Turbo Modules, following industry best practices.
• Maintain and Optimize SDK Codebase - Continuously improve performance, stability, and maintainability of the SDK, including refactoring and optimizing legacy code.
• Manage SDK Release Lifecycle - Own the full release process — from versioning and packaging to publishing the SDK on NPM or Yarn and handling updates.
• Ensure Cross-Platform Compatibility - Develop and test the SDK to work seamlessly across both iOS and Android platforms, accounting for platform-specific nuances.
• Implement Native Modules - Write and integrate native modules in Kotlin (Android) and Swift/Objective-C (iOS) where necessary to extend React Native capabilities.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering Teams - Work closely with internal teams to define SDK features, provide technical guidance, and support integration into various apps.
• Troubleshoot and Debug Issues - Diagnose and resolve complex bugs and performance issues across the entire tech stack — from JavaScript to native layers.
• Ensure Security and Compliance - Build SDKs that meet data privacy, platform compliance, and security standards required for public distribution.
• Document SDK Usage and Integration - Write clear, comprehensive documentation and examples to help external developers easily integrate and use the SDK.
• Stay Up to Date with Industry Trends - Keep current with the latest developments in React Native, mobile platforms, and SDK tooling to continuously improve the product.
• Lead Architecture Decisions - Define the SDK's architecture and design patterns to ensure scalability, modularity, and long-term maintainability.
• Monitor SDK Usage and Performance - Set up analytics and monitoring tools to track adoption, usage patterns, and performance in real-world applications.
• Provide Developer Support - Assist internal and external developers with integration issues, troubleshooting, and best practices for using the SDK.
• Review Code and Enforce Quality Standards - Conduct thorough code reviews and enforce coding standards, test coverage, and CI/CD practices across the SDK repository.
• Write Unit, Integration, and E2E Tests - Develop comprehensive test suites to ensure code reliability and reduce regressions during updates and releases.
• Integrate CI/CD Pipelines - Set up and maintain automated build, test, and release pipelines for the SDK using tools like GitHub Actions, Bitrise, or CircleCI if required.
• Evaluate and Integrate 3rd Party Libraries - Research, evaluate, and safely incorporate third-party libraries where needed, ensuring minimal bloat and maximum stability.
• Manage SDK Versioning and Backward Compatibility - Carefully handle version updates, changelogs, and ensure that new releases maintain backward compatibility or provide proper migration paths.
• Contribute to Internal Tools and Templates - Create reusable templates, CLI tools, or internal documentation that streamline development and testing of apps using the SDK.

• 3-8 yrs Experience in React Native - Deep understanding of the React Native framework, especially around performance optimization, modular architecture, and ecosystem tools.
• Proficiency with React Native Bridge and Turbo Modules - Experience building and exposing native modules to JavaScript using both the legacy bridge and the newer Turbo Modules architecture.
• Native Mobile Development - Proficient in one or both of the following: Android (Kotlin/Java) and iOS (Swift/Objective-C), with the flexibility to contribute across both:
• Android: Kotlin and/or Java
• iOS: Swift and Objective-C
• Ability to write, maintain, and debug native code for both platforms.
• SDK Development Experience - Proven experience designing, developing, publishing, and maintaining SDKs or libraries used by other developers.
• Package Management Tools - Experience publishing packages to NPM, Yarn, or similar, including semantic versioning, changelogs, and dependency management.
• API Integration & Data Handling - Strong understanding of REST/GraphQL APIs, WebSockets, and secure data handling (OAuth, encryption, etc.).
• Testing and QA - Proficiency in writing unit, integration, and E2E tests using tools like Jest, Detox, and native test frameworks.
• CI/CD for Mobile SDKs - Familiarity with CI/CD systems like GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Bitrise, or Fastlane for automated builds, testing, and deployment.
• Debugging & Performance Profiling - Skilled at diagnosing performance bottlenecks and platform-specific bugs using tools like Flipper, Xcode Instruments, and Android Studio Profiler.
• Cross-Platform Tooling Knowledge - Familiarity with tools like CodePush, App Center, Firebase, Sentry, etc., to improve release management and error tracking.
