Staff Mobile Developer (iOS&React Native)

Touchtunes Music Corporation is building the next generation of mobile experiences, and this Staff Mobile Developer role is focused on delivering reliable, high-performance features across iOS and Android. You will primarily work with React Native and TypeScript, while helping advance a brownfield architecture through progressive integration of React Native modules into an existing native app. The team operates in a hybrid work environment across Canada and the USA, with flexibility to work anywhere in the world for up to 2 months per year.

What you’ll be doing

• Design and develop mobile application features primarily in React Native and TypeScript.
• Build scalable, performant, and maintainable mobile functionality for both iOS and Android.
• Drive the progressive integration of React Native modules into the existing native iOS and Android codebase, including helping define best practices for a successful brownfield architecture.
• Collaborate with native iOS developers to ensure React Native and Swift components coexist cleanly and efficiently.
• Develop or contribute to native modules when deeper integration with iOS or Android capabilities is required.
• Participate in architecture decisions by evaluating when a feature belongs in React Native versus a native implementation.
• Stay current with new React Native ecosystem tools and practices while maintaining a strong understanding of native mobile development.
• Improve performance, stability, accessibility, testability, and overall developer experience.
• Conduct thoughtful code reviews across TypeScript and, when applicable, Swift, while supporting knowledge-sharing.
• Work with Product, Design, QA, Backend, and native mobile developers to define, build, test, and release new features.
• Contribute to engineering practices including automated testing, CI/CD, documentation, release management, and monitoring.
• Mentor developers and contribute to technical planning, architecture discussions, and hiring activities based on experience level.
• Champion responsible adoption of AI-assisted development tools for coding, code reviews, testing, documentation, debugging, and refactoring, using critical judgment to validate outputs.

What you bring

• Strong experience building and releasing mobile applications, with significant hands-on experience in React Native.
• Advanced knowledge of TypeScript, JavaScript, React, and the broader React Native ecosystem.
• Experience with customer-facing apps released through the Apple App Store and Google Play.
• Deep understanding of React Native architecture including the bridge, JSI, native modules, and principles behind the new architecture.
• Experience with Metro, Hermes, CocoaPods, Swift Package Manager, Gradle, and common React Native debugging and performance tools.
• Experience integrating React Native features into an existing native application or working in a hybrid mobile codebase.
• Ability to create, modify, or collaborate on native modules using Swift, Objective-C, Kotlin, or Java.
• Working knowledge of native iOS development; Swift, SwiftUI, or UIKit are strong assets.
• Understanding of mobile performance considerations such as rendering, memory management, application startup time, state management, and JavaScript-native communication.
• Familiarity with unidirectional data flow and modern state-management approaches.
• Ability to participate in design and architecture discussions across cross-platform and native environments.
• Strong principles for clean, consistent, testable, efficient, maintainable code.
• Experience with unit, integration, and automated testing for mobile apps.
• Proven collaboration with Product, Design, QA, Backend, and other mobile developers to define and deliver features.
• Strong problem-solving skills, including making thoughtful technical trade-offs (React Native vs native).
• Excellent communication skills to translate business and product needs into technical requirements.
• Active use of AI-assisted development tools with the judgment to refine, assess, or challenge outputs.
