About the role
We are looking for a senior, highly autonomous engineer to take ownership of our cross-platform application stack, with a strong focus on React and Capacitor.

You will be responsible for building new applications and leading the migration away from legacy Angular/Ionic apps into a modern React-based architecture. This role requires someone who can operate independently for extended periods, make sound technical decisions, and deliver reliably without constant oversight.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain cross-platform mobile applications using React + Capacitor


• Lead the migration from Angular/Ionic to a modern React-based stack


• Design and implement high-quality, user-focused interfaces


• Develop API integrations and backend-connected features


• Own the end-to-end app release process, including:


• Publishing to Apple App Store and Google Play


• Managing provisioning, signing, and deployment workflows


• Ensure performance, scalability, and reliability, particularly during high-traffic periods and peak usage events


• Handle production issues, including debugging edge cases that emerge at scale (e.g. concurrency, race conditions)


• Contribute to secure handling of sensitive data and payment flows


• Make pragmatic architectural decisions and drive delivery forward

Requirements

• Strong experience with TypeScript and React


• Hands-on experience building and shipping apps using Capacitor (strict requirement, alternatives like React Native are not suitable)


• Proven experience publishing mobile apps to app stores (iOS and Android)


• Strong understanding of:
  
  
  
  • Mobile app lifecycle, permissions, and platform constraints
  
  
  • App store submission and release processes
  
  
  
  


• Experience with:
  
  
  
  • REST APIs and third-party integrations
  
  
  • Authentication and secure data handling
  
  
  
  


• Ability to work independently for 1-2 days without guidance, prioritizing tasks and maintaining progress


• Experience dealing with real-world scale challenges, such as: 
  
  
  
  • High throughput systems
  
  
  • Traffic spikes and performance bottlenecks
  
  
  • Reliability in production environments
  
  
  
  

Nice to Have

• Exposure to Angular and/or Ionic (for legacy system understanding only)


• Experience with Node.js for light backend work (API integrations, minor services)


• Familiarity with:
  
  
  
  • Payment integrations (e.g. Stripe or similar platforms)
  
  
  • Firebase (Auth, Push Notifications, etc.)
  
  
  • CI/CD pipelines and monitoring tools
  
  
  
  

Ideal Profile

• Senior engineer with strong ownership and accountability


• Comfortable working in a small, fast-paced environment


• Able to self-direct and make decisions without constant input


• Practical, product-focused, and experienced in real-world production systems

Benefits

• Fixed Shifts: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM IST (Summer) | 1:00 PM - 10:30 PM IST (Winter)


• No Weekend Work: Real work-life balance, not just words


• Day 1 Benefits: Laptop and full medical insurance provided


• Support That Matters: Mentorship, community, and forums where ideas are shared


• True Belonging: A long-term career where your contributions are valued
