Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of React Native in production, shipped to both the App Store and Google Play
- Solid native knowledge: Swift or Objective-C with Xcode, Kotlin or Java with Android, Studio and Gradle
- Strong TypeScript and JavaScript, and experience with modern state management
- REST API integration with deliberate handling of async, offline and error states
- Automated testing with Jest and Detox or Maestro, run in CI such as GitLab CI or GitHub Actions

- Don't tick every box? Get in touch anyway. Your drive to learn and grow matters a lot to us
Desirable

- Payment SDK integration in a consumer app
- Comfortable reading backend code in a typed language and SQL
- Accessibility and localisation for a multi-language audience
- Daily use of AI coding agents, reviewing their output like any pull request
- A valid driving licence (EU category B or equivalent). Testing the product includes trip on the road
What the job involves
- Own the app's architecture, code quality, performance and stability on iOS and Android
- Build and maintain native modules in Swift or Kotlin where React Native is not enough
- Own native build, release and store distribution for iOS and Android
- Agree API contracts with backend engineers and handle offline, retry and error states
- Integrate and maintain third-party SDKs for payments, maps, analytics and messaging
- Build and maintain automated test coverage and run it in CI
- Keep the codebase's AI tooling in version control and review it like code
- Effectively deploy and use AI agents
Our take
Car-sharing provides a convenient and cost-effective alternative to car ownership, particularly in large cities where congestion is high and parking space is at a premium. Founded in 2016, MILES has made it easy for German and Belgian commuters to get around without owning a car or getting on a bus.
The German ride-sharing sector is quite heavily contested, and while MILES is one of the larger providers, it lacks the customer base of its primary rival, SHARE NOW. Where it hopes to compete is in its pricing plan, which is measured by distance rather than minutes, providing a less pressured experience for its customers. So far, this has worked well for the company, allowing it to multiply its revenue year on year and achieve profitability only four years after its founding. It currently serves more than 200,000 customers and has a fleet of over 13,000 vehicles.
MILES acquired the car-sharing arm of Volkswagen in 2022 and integrated it into its own offering. Aside from increasing the size of MILES' fleet, part of the deal allows VW customers to book cars through their existing VW mobility app, increasing MILES' customer base. MILES is working to increase the electrification of its fleet, expand its market presence in Germany and Belgium, and develop new products for its customers, such as longer-term rentals and city-to-city rides.
