Intro

We’re looking for a Lead React Native Mobile Developer to drive the next generation of cross-platform mobile experiences at Rightpoint. This is not a “keep the lights on” role. It’s a chance to architect solutions that ship to both iOS and Android simultaneously, leveraging the full power of React Native, Expo, and the modern JavaScript ecosystem to deliver native-quality experiences at scale.

 

You’ll be a hands-on lead and technical mentor, guiding a team of mobile developers while staying deep in the code yourself. You’ll work across multiple high-impact engagements, from consumer apps serving millions of users to enterprise platforms and AI-powered mobile experiences, partnering closely with designers, product strategists, and cross-functional engineering teams.

 

If you’re energized by the React Native ecosystem, passionate about cross-platform craftsmanship, comfortable bridging web and native worlds, thrive in a fast-moving consulting environment, and want to define how mobile experiences are built for Fortune 500 clients, this is your role.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

          Lead React Native architecture and technical strategy across multiple client engagements, making critical decisions on system design, state management, navigation, API contracts, and deployment patterns.

          Design and build high-quality cross-platform mobile applications using React Native, Expo, and TypeScript, shipping production apps to both iOS and Android with a unified codebase.

          Architect performant, maintainable component libraries and design systems that bridge Figma design tokens to pixel-perfect, platform-consistent implementations.

          Integrate native modules and platform APIs, writing custom native code in Swift/Kotlin when React Native’s JS layer doesn’t reach, and bridging hardware capabilities including Bluetooth (BLE), NFC, camera, biometrics, and push notifications.

          Champion agentic engineering practices: designing systems where AI agents, on-device ML (via platform APIs), and intelligent workflows enhance both developer and end-user experiences.

          Collaborate directly with UX/UI designers working in Figma, translating design intent into responsive, accessible, and performant cross-platform implementations.

          Mentor and lead a team of mobile developers through hands-on code reviews, pair programming, architectural guidance, and technical coaching.

          Drive engineering excellence across CI/CD pipelines (EAS Build, GitHub Actions, Fastlane), automated testing (Jest, Detox, React Native Testing Library), modular architecture, and developer tooling.

          Serve as a trusted technical advisor to clients, translating complex business requirements into elegant cross-platform mobile solutions and presenting architectural recommendations with clarity.

          Evaluate and recommend the right mobile strategy for each engagement (React Native, Expo Go, bare workflow, or a native module bridge) while ensuring quality standards are never compromised on either platform.

          Contribute to Rightpoint’s mobile practice through thought leadership, reusable frameworks, internal tooling, and open-source contributions.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

          6+ years of professional mobile development experience, with 4+ years focused on React Native and a strong portfolio of shipped, production-grade cross-platform applications.

          Deep expertise in React Native, Expo, TypeScript, and the modern React ecosystem (hooks, context, concurrent rendering).

          Proven experience as a technical lead or architect on large-scale, multi-team cross-platform mobile projects.

          Strong understanding of mobile architecture patterns and when to apply each.

          Solid grasp of both iOS and Android platform behaviors, UI conventions, and performance characteristics, including where React Native’s defaults diverge and how to bridge the gap.

          Experience writing native modules in Swift or Kotlin to bridge platform capabilities not covered by the JS layer.

          Hands-on experience with CI/CD for cross-platform mobile (EAS Build, GitHub Actions, etc.) and automated testing strategies (Jest, Detox).

          Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present architectural decisions to both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders with equal confidence.

          A collaborative, team-first mindset with a passion for mentoring and growing other developers.

WHAT SETS YOU APART

          Experience with Expo’s managed and bare workflows, EAS Build, EAS Submit, and OTA update strategies using expo-updates.

          Exposure to agentic AI patterns, including designing systems where LLMs, intelligent agents, or AI-driven workflows enhance mobile app experiences.

          Familiarity with Figma’s developer handoff workflows, design tokens, and Figma-to-code tooling for bridging design and engineering.

          Experience in consulting, agency, or multi-client environments where adaptability and speed are essential.

          Track record working in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, government) with secure coding practices and compliance requirements.

          Contributions to open source React Native projects or speaking at React Native / mobile developer conferences.

          Next.js and React web development experience, enabling full-stack contributions and tight alignment with web engineering teams sharing component logic.

          Familiarity with additional cross-platform frameworks (Flutter, KMP) and a clear perspective on when each approach is the right answer.

          Experience with React Native Web or universal app strategies targeting mobile and web from a shared codebase.
