Job description

About Us
Experient is an Atlanta-based business + IT consultancy that offers flexible and innovative solutions tailored to our clients' business environment, culture and budget. We don't assume anything - we set out to continually prove ourselves by going above and beyond in every client engagement. We work collaboratively to understand our clients' business and provide guidance that enables them to achieve results. 
What You'll Do
  • Lead the design, architecture, and hands-on development of a cross-platform React Native mobile application integrating with existing client systems.
     
  • Serve as a technical leader and architect, defining best practices and ensuring scalable, maintainable solutions.
     
  • Act as a subject matter expert (SME) on mobile development best practices, guiding teams in iOS and Android nuances.
     
  • Define trade-offs between rapid development and long-term maintainability, ensuring scalable, high-quality solutions.
     
  • Work in an Agile environment, actively participating in stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives.
 
  • Regularly demonstrate progress and provide clear technical direction for project success.
 
  • Coach and mentor both internal and client-side developers, fostering technical growth.
     
  • Collaborate with stakeholders, from junior developers to executives, translating business needs into technical solutions.

What You'll Bring
  • 12+ years of software engineering experience, including technical consulting.
     
  • 10+ years of cross-platform iOS & Android mobile development experience.
     
  • Deep expertise in React Native, with a strong understanding of native iOS and Android
    considerations (form factor, performance, platform-specific nuances).

     
  • Experience designing scalable mobile architectures and leading development teams.
     
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to prototype and evaluate alternative solutions.
     
  • Ability to work in fast-paced, startup-like environments, balancing speed with long-term maintainability.
     
  • Strong communication skills, with experience influencing stakeholders at all levels.
     
  • Experience working in cross-functional teams, including full-time employees and contractors.
     
  • Broad experience across software engineering best practices, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, and data.
     
  • Must be a self-starter, enthusiastic, and flexible.
     
  • Preference for Atlanta based.


Nice To Have

 
  • Experience working with fintech or banking applications.
     
  • Experience with hardware integrations and native-specific implementations in React Native, such as Bluetooth, biometrics, sensors, or camera functionality—areas where cross-platform solutions may require deeper native expertise.
     
  • Strong DevOps skills, including:
    • CI/CD pipeline management for mobile applications.
    • Automating deployments to the App Store and Google Play, including handling signing, provisioning, and release management.
    • Familiarity with Expo, including when to leverage it versus ejecting to bare workflow for deeper native functionality.
       
  • Experience with unit testing, integration testing, and E2E automation.
     
  • Published applications on the App Store and Google Play Store, with a strong understanding of:
    • The publishing process for both platforms, including provisioning, compliance, and approval workflows.
    • Setting up and managing testing environments (TestFlight for iOS, Google Play Console Internal Testing for Android).
    • App Store Optimization (ASO) best practices to improve discoverability and user acquisition.
