Job description

Huge is looking for a Technology Lead, React Native to join the Technology team. The Technical Lead is a problem solver responsible for the overall execution and organization of the development effort on large-scale mobile technology engagements with a particular focus on native commerce experiences.

You will transform requirements into architecture and design documents that a development team can use to build robust, scalable mobile solutions. You're also responsible for leading a team of engineers in building performant, accessible and maintainable mobile applications that remain usable under intermittent connectivity issues, gaining buy-in for technical architecture and proactively identifying and mitigating technical risks. You will work closely with backend and middleware teams to shape API contracts that serve the mobile client well.

• Establishing the technology footprint for the engagement — tools, frameworks, and platform choices — and keeping it current as the solution evolves.
• Mapping integration points across third-party APIs, native device capabilities, and platform services.

Partnership & negotiation

• Partnering with backend and middleware teams to negotiate and evolve API contracts and optimize for mobile client needs including latency, payload shape, offline resilience, and feature flag driven rollout.
