With its innovative solutions, companies can reduce operational costs, accelerate time to value, and maximize their return on investment, ensuring that their AI strategies contribute directly to enhanced business outcomes.

• Own the mobile architecture - Define the structure, state management, navigation, and module boundaries of our React Native application, and document the decisions behind them.
• Build production features - Deliver polished, performant, accessible screens against real platform APIs streaming AI responses, authentication, and role-based access.
• Go native when needed - Write and maintain native modules and native UI components in Swift/ Objective-C and Kotlin/Java. Bridge SDKs that have no React Native wrapper. Debug crashes that only reproduce on device.
• Own the release pipeline - Set up and maintain automated builds, signing, versioning, and phased rollouts to both stores. Keep releases boring and repeatable.
• Own store publishing - Manage App Store Connect and Google Play Console: provisioning, certificates, Test Flight and internal/closed testing tracks, store listings, privacy declarations, review submissions, and appeals when review goes sideways
• Ship AI features - Integrate LLM and agent APIs into the app: streaming responses, tool calling, token-level UI updates, context management, graceful degradation, and cost-aware request patterns. Explore on-device inference where it makes sense
• Make quality measurable - Build a test strategy that people actually trust unit, component, and end-to-end plus crash reporting, performance monitoring, and release health dashboards
• Raise the bar - Review code, mentor engineers who touch mobile, and be the person the team asks when something mobile-specific is unclear. Travel to customer sites across the UAE, including remote and clearance-controlled environments, on short notice when escalations require senior on-site presence.

• 5+ years in mobile development, with 3+ years shipping React Native applications to production.
• Deep Type Script (strict mode) and modern React hooks, concurrent rendering, composition patterns, memorization and re-render control
• Hands-on with the New Architecture: JSI, Fabric renderer, Turbo Modules, and Codegen. You understand what replaced the legacy bridge and why it matters.
• Hermes runtime: bundle size, startup time, memory profiling, and interpreting Hermes stack traces.
• Comfortable across the current ecosystem: recent React Native releases (0.8x line), Expo SDK with EAS Build and EAS Update, or a bare/brownfield workflow and clear opinions on when each is the right call.
• React Navigation (v7+) or Expo Router, with deep linking and universal links configured correctly on both platforms.
• Data and state at scale:
  React Query / Tan Stack Query, Zustand or Redux Toolkit, offline-first caching, optimistic updates, background sync.
• Performance engineering: list virtualization, image pipelines, Reanimated and Gesture Handler, frame-drop diagnosis, cold-start optimization, and profiling with React Native Dev Tools, Flipper, Xcode Instruments, and Android Studio Profiler.

• Able to read, write, and debug Swift/Objective-C and Kotlin/Java at the level required to build and maintain custom native modules.
• Working knowledge of Xcode and Android Studio: build settings, schemes, Gradle configuration, Cocoa Pods/SPM, Pro Guard/R8.
• Platform APIs and permissions: push notifications (APNs and FCM), background execution, biometrics and Keychain/Keystore, camera, location, secure storage, deep links, and App Links / Universal Links.
• Comfortable in brownfield contexts embedding React Native in an existing native app, or vice versa.
• Understands platform-specific behavior differences and designs around them rather than fighting them.

• Has personally shipped and maintained apps on both the Apple App Store and Google Play not just handed builds to someone else.
• iOS:
  App Store Connect, certificates and provisioning profiles, code signing, Test Flight, App Privacy details and nutrition labels, App Review Guidelines, expedited review and appeals.
• Android:
  Play Console, AAB packaging, Play App Signing, internal/closed/open testing tracks, staged rollouts, Data Safety declarations, and staying ahead of target API level deadlines (Android 16 / API 36 for new submissions and…
