React Native Developer for Cross-Platform Mobile App

We’re looking for an experienced React Native Developer to join our mobile team and help build a fast, responsive, and user-friendly cross-platform application for both iOS and Android.

This project involves developing a fully functional e-commerce and user management app, integrated with APIs for authentication, payment, and product data. The ideal candidate is highly skilled in React Native, state management (Redux Toolkit or Zustand), and app optimization techniques.

You’ll collaborate closely with our backend (Node.js/Laravel) and design teams to bring our web platform into the mobile world. Your mission: deliver a smooth native-like user experience, maintain a clean architecture, and ensure efficient communication between the frontend and backend layers.

This is a 3-month project, with potential to continue long-term if performance and collaboration go well.

If you’re passionate about creating sleek, performant apps that users love — we’d love to have you onboard.
