Senior Mobile Engineer

Waffle Journal is hiring a Senior Mobile Engineer to build and scale a subscription-based mobile app. This role is for a strong senior individual contributor who owns complex features end-to-end, writes high-quality code, and improves architecture systematically.

• Own complex features from problem definition to production release
• Write high-quality, maintainable React Native code
• Improve existing architecture and reduce technical debt without slowing product velocity
• Review pull requests with focus on correctness, readability, and long-term maintainability
• Collaborate closely with product and design to turn goals into clear technical plans
• Take senior-level ownership: identify risks early, think through solutions, and ship reliably

Required:

• Strong experience shipping production React Native apps
• Hands-on experience with subscription-based products including paywalls, onboarding flows, subscription flows, entitlements, access control, and edge cases (upgrades, downgrades, refunds, restore purchases)
• Experience with RevenueCat and/or Superwall
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Systematic, linear thinker who plans before coding
• Comfortable working independently and making sound technical decisions

Nice to Have:

• Experience using AI tools or APIs to automate workflows
• Experience with mobile analytics, experimentation, or A/B testing
• Familiarity with performance optimization and debugging on mobile
• Startup or product-driven team experience

Work prioritizes clarity, thoughtful planning, and high-quality execution. The team favors systematic thinking over rigid methodology with documented decisions and explicit tradeoffs.
