Job description
Mobile Software Engineer - React Native
Remote – Full-time
Our Story
Over the past several years, Able has grown immeasurably. We’ve also evolved the kind of company we are:
Chapter 1: We were founded in 2013 as a product and engineering hub for a portfolio of early-stage startups. Operating as a shared services model, we honed our craft while laying down our cultural and operational foundations.
Chapter 2: In 2019, we expanded our vision beyond our initial partners. We began building new relationships and delivering high-impact work across a broader partner base.
Chapter 3: In 2023, we launched a new phase of strategic growth. Our focus now centers on two key partner types:
- Venture Capital firms seeking trusted product and technology solutions for their portfolios.
- Private Equity firms looking for platforms and teams that can scale their portfolio companies through technology.
Chapter 3a: Today, we’re aligning our mission with the power of applied AI. We believe AI will fundamentally transform how software is built. We’re combining our world-class talent with AI-accelerated practices to deliver software faster and more effectively—multiplying value for our partners.
The Role
We are looking for a Mobile Software Engineer to join our team, with experience across mobile platforms, primarily using React Native. The ideal candidate also has familiarity with native mobile languages such as Swift and Kotlin, and a passion for building high-quality, performant, and user-centric applications.
You’ll work closely with designers, product managers, and engineers across web and backend to shape and deliver beautiful, functional apps that drive real user and business value.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead the development of cross-platform mobile features using React Native, shipping polished apps to both iOS and Android.
- Design and implement high-quality, responsive UIs that enhance user experience and reflect strong attention to design detail.
- Leverage native APIs and platform-specific modules to build deep, performant integrations with both mobile platforms.
- Apply engineering best practices—including modular architecture, testing, and CI/CD—to ensure a maintainable, scalable codebase.
- Participate in agile ceremonies such as sprint planning and backlog grooming with a cross-functional team.
- Facilitate technical conversations, unblock teammates, and help define standards and guidelines for quality across the team.
- Provide thoughtful feedback in code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and contribute through pair programming and team-wide collaboration.
- Monitor and optimize performance using tools like Sentry, Amplitude, or OpenSearch, and troubleshoot user issues in partnership with QA and support.
- Make pragmatic decisions about when to move quickly and when to invest in long-term reliability—balancing product velocity with quality.
What We’re Looking For
We’re excited to meet people who care about collaboration, technical quality, and building inclusive and respectful working relationships. We value curiosity, pragmatism, and the desire to continuously learn and improve.
Ideal candidates will have:
- 8+ years of professional experience in software development, with significant experience building React Native applications for both iOS and Android.
- Proven ability to develop high-quality, pixel-perfect UIs and integrate with APIs and backend services.
- Familiarity with native mobile tooling and build systems (e.g., Xcode, Android Studio, Gradle) to support custom native modules or advanced performance tuning.
- Familiarity with Expo for efficient app development and deployment, including OTA updates, native module integration, and debugging with Expo Dev Tools.
- Solid understanding of software architecture principles (e.g., MVC, MVVM), and experience building scalable, maintainable mobile codebases.
- Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, React.js, and related tools and libraries.
- Comfortable collaborating with designers to implement polished, responsive UIs with strong HTML and CSS fundamentals.
- Exposure to CI/CD workflows and monitoring tools like Sentry, Amplitude, or OpenSearch.
- Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
- Bonus: Experience with native iOS (Swift) or Android (Kotlin/Java) development.
This is a contract position. This position is 100% remote within LatAm. Strong verbal and written communication skills in English are a requirement.
This contract period is for 6 months, starting in July 2025 until the end of the year. Candidates are expected to work 40 hours per week during this contract period, and be available during normal business hours as-needed on this project.
A contract extension is possible, pending our client partnership and individual performance. Those candidates interested in a future long term contract position would be considered an asset.
