React Native Team Lead

Your Mission at Truemeds: Technical Lead for React Native Development

• Own the architecture, delivery, and quality of our React Native mobile applications.
• Build, lead and mentor a growing team of engineers, ensuring consistent code quality, performance, and maintainability.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Backend, and QA to deliver smooth, intuitive experiences that work flawlessly across Android and iOS.
• Establish and enforce best practices across mobile development from project structure and state management to CI/CD and release processes.
• Set technical direction, make architectural calls, and constantly look for ways to improve developer efficiency and app performance.
• Identify performance bottlenecks, optimize startup time, and reduce app size — all without compromising on user experience.

What We're Looking For:

• 8+ years of professional mobile development experience, with 3+ years leading React Native teams in production environments.
• Deep understanding of React Native internals — including bridge performance, native module integration, and rendering optimizations.
• Strong command over TypeScript/JavaScript and modern React patterns (hooks, context, code-splitting, etc.).
• Solid experience with:
• State management tools like Redux, Recoil, or Zustand.
• Navigation frameworks (React Navigation, deep linking, gesture handling).
• Animations using Reanimated / Lottie / native drivers.
• Comfort working with native Android (Kotlin) and iOS (Swift) to bridge platform-specific modules or troubleshoot issues.
• Advanced experience with:
• App performance profiling and optimization: Proven expertise in identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks using tools like Flipper, React DevTools, Xcode Instruments, and Android Profiler. Comfortable with optimizing rendering performance, reducing bundle size, improving cold start time, minimizing JS thread blocking, and ensuring smooth 60fps animations. Deep understanding of memory leaks, UI jank, and background task handling.
• Crash analytics, monitoring tools, and logging pipelines: Experience integrating and acting on insights from tools like Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry, Bugsnag, and Instabug. Ability to set up structured logs using tools like LogRocket, Datadog RUM, or AWS CloudWatch Logs for mobile, and build dashboards to monitor app health, stability metrics (e.g., crash-free sessions), and user-impacting issues.
• Modularizing the app for maintainability and scalability: Strong track record of architecting large-scale React Native applications using feature-based or domain-driven module separation. Familiarity with monorepo strategies using tools like Nx, Lerna, or Turborepo, and enforcing clean boundaries between UI, business logic, and services. Emphasis on reusable components, lazy loading, and separation of platform-specific code to improve build times and team collaboration.
• Familiarity with CI/CD for mobile apps — using Bitrise, GitHub Actions, Fastlane, or equivalent.
• Strong focus on UX polish, animations, transitions, and responsiveness — not just function, but finesse.
• Comfortable with App Store / Play Store deployments, release versioning, and rollout strategies.

Bonus Points For:

• Scaling apps to millions of users — experience handling performance, load, and crash-free sessions in high-traffic environments.
• Building and maintaining shared design systems or component libraries across multiple teams or products.
• Experience setting up and optimizing monorepos using tools like Nx, Yarn Workspaces, or Lerna for scalable codebases.
• Familiarity with React Native New Architecture (Fabric & TurboModules) and a strong understanding of how it's changing the ecosystem.
• Working with feature flag systems to support staged rollouts and A/B testing.
• Experience integrating remote config, in-app messaging, or other personalized engagement tools.
• Background in accessibility best practices and building inclusive mobile apps.
• Hands-on with OTA updates using CodePush or Expo Updates and handling complex upgrade paths.
• Prior work in fast-paced product environments where shipping fast and iterating often was critical.
• Contributions to the React Native community — open-source, talks, blogs, or helping shape the ecosystem.
