As an early member of the team, we hope you will also have a lot of impact on our team culture, processes and norms.

Taptap Send is a cross-platform mobile app developed with React Native and Type Script, which talks to a backend service written in Kotlin and backed by a Postgre

• Write well-tested, high quality code, with an eye towards generics and re-use
• Work closely with design and product teams to regularly ship working features
• Participate in release planning and deployment of released build
• Mentor and advise team members
• Evaluate and deliver timeline estimates for projects

• 5+ years of professional experience building consumer facing applications
• Experience owning user-facing features end-to-end, from conception to launch
• Experience developing software in a collaborative, multi-functional, and fast-paced environment
• Proficiency with Kotlin, Java or similar backend language
• Experience working on systems that have real-world performance and reliability constraints
• Strong communication and ability to manage conflicting priorities, setting expectations with stakeholders and be a driving force

• Experience working on a multi-platform mobile app with a significant volume of traffic
• High personal code/development standards (code review, unit testing, documentation, etc.)
