Role
Who you are
- Mobile Expert: 3–5 years of professional engineering experience, with 2+ years focused on React Native mobile development
- Android Focused: Strong JavaScript/TypeScript skills and deep familiarity with Android-specific development (Android Studio, SDKs, Kotlin/Java) and proven success shipping production apps to the Google Play Store, including version control, build tooling, and deployment workflows
- Expo Guru: You know the ins and outs of the Expo ecosystem—from managed workflows to custom dev clients—and can confidently navigate its quirks, speed up development, and get apps to production without breaking a sweat
- Clear and organized: You have experience creating readable, well-crafted, and maintainable code. You can build and maintain clear systems and breakdowns of your projects and initiatives
- A top-tier communicator: You are adept at describing ideas, discussing approaches, presentations, and status updates, and you enjoy working cross-functionally with leadership, PMs, designers, and engineers to build products across a modern tech stack to solve complex problems
- A startup enthusiast: You are eager to work in a dynamic and fast-paced early-stage startup, and have the ability to roll up your sleeves to #GetShiftDone
What the job involves
- The Engineering Team enables Shiftsmart to anticipate and creatively solve problems across multiple functions with solutions that have a lasting impact for both our customers (companies) and our users (workers)
- Our mission is simple: To build the world’s leading platform for hourly workers and enterprises enabling flexibility, choice, and upward social mobility
- You will be setting the bar for exceptional mobile user experiences and be an enthusiastic developer that will be responsible for building pipelines, writing robust code, maintaining and improving existing functionality, and shipping new features
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable Android apps with React Native and Expo
- Collaborate cross-functionally to define, build, and ship features with a focus on performance, responsiveness, and reliability
- Oversee GitHub and Expo build processes, release management, versioning, and app store submissions
- Implement robust state management, testing strategies (unit, E2E), and CI/CD pipelines for mobile deployments
- Troubleshoot and debug issues across devices, OS versions, and native modules; optimize for offline support and performance
- Stay current with Android and React Native best practices, and help document systems, processes, and APIs
- Contribute to code reviews, mentor junior developers, and elevate overall engineering quality
Our take
Labor force participation is at an all-time low in the United States, and companies across the board are struggling to combat the shortfall. Shiftsmart’s solution is a dynamic labor marketplace, matching workers on their platform to temporary gigs, and helping companies fill gaps without committing to, or having to attract, full-time talent.
Shiftsmart’s network of over 1.2 million workers serves big-name enterprises like Google, HP, Apple, and Levi’s, and is part of a growing industry of staffing solutions for hourly workers that have been seeing big VC investments over recent years. Driven by the gig economy becoming more normalized and demand for flexible hours increasing, Shiftsmart saw its revenue increase by nearly 400%, and they put this success down to a competitively unique business model that sees more control being put in the hands of workers and employers alike. They have now done work in over 57 countries, and are operating tens of thousands of shifts each week.
Some user feedback suggests the company still has some kinks to iron out on their platform, with multiple complaints about delayed or missing payments. But with thousands of successful, efficient job placements found over the last few years, Shiftsmart are making strides in an area that looks set to remain in high demand.
