Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience working on multi-platform mobile applications using React Native
- Preferred experience building React Native applications from the ground up that have been published to the App Store and have scaled to millions of users
- Experience with Expo framework
- Understanding and technical application of clean architecture and modularization, to deliver testable and scalable software
- Experience owning application development end-to-end from initial prototypes to customer roll out
- Professional experience working on mobile consumer applications
- Cross functional experience collaborating closely with designers and product managers
- Experience collaborating with other engineers: iOS, Android, server, and web
What the job involves
- VSCO is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to help us build a React Native application from the ground up
- This is a critical tech leadership role where you will be one of the first to help us build a React Native cross platform mobile application that empower aspiring and professional photographers to nurture their creativity so they can make it
- We envision the technology built to be the start of a new foundation for VSCO’s mobile app development that allows for OTA updates, sharing React components with VSCO’s web products, and builds cross platform solutions where possible to deliver ongoing features across iOS and Android without separate native apps
- Collaborate with cross-functional team members in the conception, planning, and implementing our first React Native app
- Architect and implement best-fit solutions aligned with the company's strategy to deliver maximum value to our creators
- Build clean, testable, maintainable, and idiomatic code, and drive the team forward in relation to code quality
- Deliver solutions both in collaboration with other engineers or independently, depending on the scope and schedule of the project
Our take
VSCO (pronounced "vis-co") is a photo and video editing app that's all about creativity without the pressure. Unlike Instagram and Facebook, which are driven by ads and likes, VSCO focuses on making money through subscriptions, giving users a refreshing break from the constant follower count anxiety.
Co-founded by an ex-wedding photographer passionate about simple, beautiful photography and a former Creative Director, VSCO knows exactly what the creative community crave. While it competes with Instagram and newer apps like Tezza, VSCO has built a strong, loyal following with its creator-first approach, which will most definitely help it see future success.
