Job Summary

We are looking for a senior front-end engineer with a proven track record of developing React Native mobile applications.

The Senior Front-end engineer will work closely with our team to launch a meditation and lifestyle application. Applicants should have a proven track record working on large-scale, consumer-facing products with complex and intuitive UX/UI. Applicants should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, where each individual has a lot of influence and responsibility to deliver. The Senior Front-end Engineer will play a vital role in the development and release of this application.
