SENIOR REACT NATIVE DEVELOPER - TVos, Apple TV, Android TV

Senior React Native Developer with TV apps experience

Over 8 years of professional software development, with more than 6 years dedicated to building production ready React Native applications across mobile and TV platforms, including tvOS and Android TV.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain advanced mobile and TV features with a strong emphasis on performance, native behavior, and cross-platform consistency.
• Write clean, type-safe, and well-documented code using JavaScript/TypeScript, applying modern patterns like composition, functional programming, and modular architecture.
• Design and implement complex UI/UX components for both mobile and TV, including 10-foot UI, animated transitions, gradients, focus management, and custom remote gestures.
• Build consistent navigation and focus systems tailored for D-pad, game controllers, and Apple TV remotes, using platform-optimized libraries and custom implementations.
• Architect scalable and predictable state management using Redux Toolkit, MobX, and Context API, ensuring efficient side-effect handling and focus-aware data flow.
• Manage deep linking, dynamic routing, nested navigators, custom transitions, and TV-specific launch intents.
• Integrate with native APIs/modules in Swift, Objective-C, Kotlin, and Java for advanced features like sensors, biometrics, background services, remote gesture handling, and native focus engine customization.
• Implement real-time map features (geofencing, clustering, route overlays), and support location services, offline sync, and background tasks optimized for battery efficiency and TV constraints.
• Customize native modules or patch under-the-hood dependencies to align with business needs, including tvOS provisioning and Android TV launchers.
• Integrate DRM-protected media, analytics, and remote content overlays for immersive media consumption on TV.
  
• Optimize performance across mobile and TV by profiling rendering, memory, and bundle size; debug issues using Flipper, Hermes, native profilers, and remote debugging tools.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines and OTA updates with CodePush, while managing releases across App Store Connect (tvOS) and Google Play Console (Android TV).
• Write robust tests across unit, integration, and E2E levels with Jest, Testing Library, and Detox, while ensuring accessibility and localization compliance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with backend engineers to optimize APIs for performance, offline capability, caching, and error handling.
