Role
Who you are
- Someone with 5–8 years in development, including 3–5 years in mobile development
- Deep expertise in React Native and a strong familiarity with either Kotlin or Swift
- Strong knowledge of mobile app architecture and RESTful APIs
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, crash analytics tools (e.g., Sentry, Firebase Crashlytics), and release processes (App Store/Play Store)
- Excellent stakeholder management skills: either mentoring junior engineers or explaining technical decisions to non-tech teams
- Nice to have: Experience with offline-first apps and understanding of hardware-level constraints
What the job involves
- GotPhoto is looking for an enthusiastic Senior Mobile Engineer to join our Fototagging team in Berlin or remotely to ensure the successful migration of our mobile application to React Native and a robust, scalable mobile architecture that supports product growth
- As we grow and expand, we recognize the need for a dedicated Senior Mobile Engineer to join our team and drive the transition from native mobile development to a unified React Native approach
- This role will act as a technical expert within the mobile team, providing architectural direction and mentorship to junior engineers
- Lead the migration of the Fototagging mobile application from Kotlin/Swift to React Native
- Design and implement a new mobile architecture that ensures maintainability, scalability, and high performance
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to deliver new features end-to-end
- Apply AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Cursor, Windsurf) to accelerate development and improve code quality
- Drive performance optimization across both iOS and Android platforms. Our app works offline and interacts with cameras via Bluetooth; you don't have to be an expert in this, but some experience is helpful
Our take
Taking professional photos for events and schools is as much an exercise in administration as it is in photography, with a gruelling and largely manual workload of organising photos, taking payments and shipping out prints eating into a photographer's time. GotPhoto exists to make this process much easier, automating promotions, sales and fulfillment, freeing the photographer to focus on their core business.
Considered the leader in its market, GotPhoto has amassed a customer base of about 4000 small-medium business and sole trader clients across the UK, US and DACH regions. While the company has had strong growth in recent years it still has a large market to grow into, with around 70% of volume photographers still relying on manual systems, and a core market growing by 25% year on year as these photographers start to look to the benefits of automation for their businesses.
GotPhoto was acquired by EQT Growth in 2023, providing investment into the platform's development and adding new features. It will also be able to tap its parent company's commercial connections as it aims to grow its lead in an estimated $5 billion market.
