Job Description

Posted 2 weeks ago

A well-established tech company is looking for a React Native Developer to join their team. The company have been going for 20 years (they're really stable but still have a startup kind of feel and continue to innovate). They work with an impressive range of customers – real household names – and their products deliver real value.

They're around 40 people in total, roughly half are on the Engineering side and the team are divided into smaller teams who have ownership of specific products.

They look after their staff really well – there's lots of autonomy and you won't be micromanaged. They really empower people to manage their own work and set their own deadlines.

The company's mobile app is crucial to the business. It's a hybrid app for Android and iOS, which involves a native container and a web view. The native code includes a number of different features such as background GPS Tracking, camera capture and more.

Their app is written in JavaScript, TypeScript and React Native, so they need someone that is skilled within React Native, as they'd expect you to come in and hit the ground running. They are very big on learning, so you'd have the opportunity to upskill in other areas if you wanted to.

There's lots of perks (granted, some are tied to the office like snack cupboards and really good coffee) but there's also mentoring schemes and a real focus on career development (plus generous annual budget for professional development). They are also a really sociable bunch and have regular events.

They have a swish office in Edinburgh (near the Gyle) and in an ideal world, they'll get people into the office on a weekly basis but they are happy to consider people in the Central Belt that are a bit further away than this and with that, you'd be able to work mostly remote. Saying that, within your notice period, they'd expect you to be in the office 2-3 times per week, so you can get up to speed with their systems and processes a lot quicker. They are really flexible on working hours (they get that some folks are night owls and some are early birds!) and you can design your work around your life. They will also provide you with great kit (your choice). Salary-wise, they can pay up to £50,000 for the role.

If you are an experienced React Native Developer then please apply and/or get in touch with Jack Steven at Cathcart Technology
