Platform Engineer, Mobile

Miami, Florida, United States, New York, New York, United States

Dorsia is redefining how people access the world’s most in-demand restaurants, events, and experiences, fusing technology with luxury hospitality to give members access to the impossible, and giving operators the tools to match. We’re a fast-growing startup backed by $50M+ from Index Ventures and partners including Major Food Group, Groot Hospitality, and Gracious Hospitality. We’re building the team for our next phase of growth.

Dorsia is seeking a Platform Engineer, Mobile to own the React Native foundation that powers our member app. Extending well beyond deployment infrastructure, the scope encompasses mobile architecture, framework adoption, app performance, and a white label strategy built to scale without rework. As we expand beyond dining into events and experiences, we need someone who can hold both dimensions at once: the operational rigor to eliminate bottlenecks and the architectural vision to raise the ceiling as the product grows.

Qualified individuals will build the pipeline, drive framework migrations, ship under pressure, and understand the product deeply enough to make the platform serve it rather than constrain it.

• Own and evolve Dorsia’s React Native / Expo infrastructure end-to-end, from local dev environment to App Store release, leveraging EAS Build, Expo Updates, and the New Architecture where they earn their complexity.
• Eliminate deployment bottlenecks: architect and maintain CI/CD pipelines (EAS Build, Git Hub Actions) that let engineers ship faster with fewer manual steps.
• Implement and manage OTA update strategies via Expo Updates across a high‑velocity release cadence (10+ OTA updates/week), knowing when to push OTA vs. when a full binary release is required.
• Own the module architecture decisions that keep a growing codebase navigable as new product surfaces (events, experiences, corporate booking) are added.

• Own the full release pipeline for both platforms:
  App Store Connect (provisioning, Test Flight, review submissions) and Google Play Console (tracks, signing, internal testing).
• Navigate review processes proactively on both stores, anticipating rejection vectors, managing escalations, and knowing when and how to push back effectively.
• Own the native integration surface (Braze, Segment, Datadog, Branch, Stripe, and Plaid, etc) keeping integrations clean, well‑bounded, and maintainable as the product grows.
• Stay ahead of annual OS and SDK changes on both iOS and Android, covering minimum deployment targets, deprecated APIs, and new policy requirements, ensuring the app is prepared at release time.

• Own mobile app performance and observability: JS bundle size, startup time, frame rate, crash reporting (Datadog), and release health dashboards, with baselines to catch regressions before they reach production.
• Build and maintain internal developer tooling that makes the mobile engineering team faster: local build scripts, environment switching, debugging utilities.
• Define and enforce code quality standards for the React Native codebase, including Type Script strictness, component patterns, native module boundaries.

• 5+ years of mobile or modern web engineering experience, with at least 3 years in React Native on a production consumer app.
• Hands‑on Expo expertise: EAS Build, EAS Submit, Expo Updates, SDK upgrades, and the tradeoffs between managed and bare workflow.
• Proven experience owning a mobile CI/CD pipeline; you’ve built it, broken it, and made it better.
• Deep familiarity with both the Apple and Google developer ecosystems:
  App Store Connect, provisioning, entitlements, Google Play Console, release tracks, and review processes on both. You’ve shipped multiple apps to both stores and know how they actually work.
• Strong Type Script across the stack with a high bar for type safety and code quality in a shared codebase.
• Experience with React Native’s New Architecture (JSI, Fabric, Turbo Modules) and a clear opinion on when to adopt it.
• Experience at…
