Lead Mobile Engineer

Lead Mobile Engineer

We've partnered with a well-backed startup in the agtech space with their search for a lead mobile engineer. Their product allows farmers to achieve rotational grazing without the need of building and breaking down costly fencing. The role will work on a hybrid basis in the Austin office. What you'll do:

• Lead, build and scale the React Native / Expo app from an early stage, shipping to both the App Store and Play Store

• Own the mapping and geolocation experience ranchers use to manage cattle in the field

• Design the data flows and offline/sync behavior that keep the app in lockstep with our backend and connected devices

• Integrate with wearable hardware (BLE/NFC)

• Debug and optimize across both iOS and Android

• Use AI-assisted development to move fast — while verifying your own work and not sacrificing code quality or readability

• Monitor and optimize app performance — load times, responsiveness, and battery efficiency in the field, where ranchers rely on the app on long days away from a charger

What you'll bring:

• 4+ years building production mobile applications, with strong experience in typescript React Native apps.

• Shipped and maintained apps on both the App Store and Play Store

• Comfortable debugging natively on both iOS and Android

• Experience driving design & product-level decisions

• Willing to work in-person in Austin and to eventually build and lead a team

• Experience in automated UI testing

• Expo experience

• Mapping/geolocation experience (mapbox specifically)

• BLE / NFC experience

• Hardware integration background
