Senior React Native Developer (Freelance Contract)

We’re kicking off a greenfield project for a UKbased company in the events and healthcare space. The goal is to build a crossplatform mobile application that will serve as an extension of their existing WordPressbased system.

The mobile app will present key content and data to users in a readonly manner, pulling from the current CMS via API. Additionally, the app will connect to a lightweight auxiliary backend that will support a new user role and limited functionality. The solution will be built using React Native to maximize code reusability across iOS and Android within a limited budget.

• Lead the estimation of effort, scope, and timeline
• Work closely with a business analyst to clarify functional and technical requirements
• Design and develop the mobile application using React Native
• Integrate the app with the existing WordPress system (readonly)
• Connect with a custom auxiliary backend
• Ensure a smooth, performant, and userfriendly experience
• Optionally lead a small team during the development phase

• Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in mobile development
  • Strong handson experience with React Native and JavaScriptTypeScript
  • Proven experience delivering crossplatform mobile apps
  • Familiarity with RESTful API integration
  • Understanding of native mobile capabilities (e.g., push notifications, offline support)
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work independently
  • Fluent in English (written and spoken)

  • Nice to Have

    • Experience with WordPress REST API
