About the Role
At Feeld, we are creating a world where everyone is more intimately connected to each other and themselves. We are building an inclusive, human-centered product and are looking for a Staff Frontend Engineer (React Native / Mobile) to join our remote team and support our mission to elevate the human experience of sexuality and relationships. Our mobile app is the primary way members experience Feeld. As we continue to scale, we need stronger ownership of mobile architecture, performance, and cross-platform quality so we can ship product faster while keeping reliability high.

This role exists to ensure our React Native foundation, iOS/Android delivery practices, and technical direction keep pace with the ambitions of the product and the needs of our growing member base.

You will be an Individual Contributor on the Platform team, partnering closely with other Frontend engineers while influencing multiple product squads that ship on mobile. Collaboration with Product, Design, QA, Backend, Data, and Security teams is essential to set and evolve mobile technical standards.

This is a hands-on IC role involving designing, coding, reviewing, and shipping. You will provide significant cross-team leadership by driving alignment, standards, and decision making across teams without direct people management.

Success in this role means that within 6–12 months you will have:
- Understood the intricacies of our product and its impact on users to make informed decisions.
- Learned cutting-edge technologies and methodologies through continuous development and collaboration.
- Established clear mobile technical direction including architecture principles, patterns, and guardrails.
- Delivered measurable improvements in performance, stability, startup time, build/release velocity, or app size.
- Increased confidence in production through better observability, incident response, and ownership.
- Enabled other frontend engineers to move faster through documentation, pairing, mentorship, reviews, and reusable platform components.

Your responsibilities will include:
- Owning and evolving Feeld’s React Native/mobile architecture, setting scalable patterns across iOS and Android.
- Driving performance and quality improvements including rendering, startup, networking, offline behavior, app size, and cross-platform parity.
- Leading technical discovery and delivery for platform initiatives that unlock product teams such as shared UI foundations, app infrastructure, and build tooling.
- Partnering with Product and Design to translate goals into resilient technical plans and help teams make good trade-offs.
- Improving production ownership through instrumentation, alerting, dashboards, runbooks, and reliable release practices.
- Acting as a Staff-level IC leader by raising the bar through reviews, pairing, mentorship, and pragmatic decision making across the frontend community.

Experience
- Strong, hands-on experience building and shipping React Native applications in production with deep TypeScript proficiency.
- Deep knowledge of iOS and Android platforms.
- Proven track record owning mobile architecture including navigation, state, data layers, modularization, platform abstractions, and long-term maintainability.
- Experience scaling B2C mobile apps with millions of users, focusing on reliability and performance.
- Demonstrated production ownership including incident response, debugging complex issues, and improving observability (metrics, logs, traces).
- Experience improving delivery systems such as CI/CD, automated testing strategies, and release processes.
- Staff-level individual contributor behaviors including influencing without authority, aligning stakeholders, writing clear technical documentation, and leading through execution.

About you
- Collaborative and able to work closely with cross-functional teams.
- Passionate about building high-quality mobile experiences and improving engineering standards.
- Comfortable driving technical decisions and mentoring other engineers.
- Pragmatic and focused on delivering measurable improvements.

Nice-to-haves
- Experience with iOS/Android native development or comfort diving into native code.
- Familiarity with Node.js services and AWS in a product environment.
- Knowledge of feature flagging, experimentation, and analytics instrumentation.
- Experience with mobile security, privacy, or compliance considerations.
- Experience mentoring senior engineers and shaping standards across multiple teams.

Qualifications
No formal qualifications are specified; emphasis is on proven experience and technical leadership in mobile engineering.
