Summary

We are seeking a Senior React Native Mobile Engineer to spearhead the design and development of a brand-new mobile application for Hunter's next-generation residential irrigation ecosystem. This role will focus on building the mobile control center for our upcoming IoT Tap Timer product line, which seamlessly connects an external water device, a power hub, and a mobile app to manage residential watering schedules. Because the product is currently in its core R&D phase ahead of its early 2027 hardware launch, you will operate with a high level of autonomy to help finalize the mobile architecture, connection protocols, and tech stack. This position embraces a forward-looking development lifecycle, heavily leveraging advanced AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate feature delivery and paving the way for future AI-driven smart watering optimizations.

Education

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mobile Development, or a related technical field.

Professional Experience

• 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering with a primary focus on mobile application development.

• 3+ years of dedicated, hands-on experience building, testing, and deploying production-grade mobile applications using React Native.

• Proven track record of working on greenfield or early-stage product lifecycles, taking ownership of technical decisions from architecture definition to initial release.

• Experience developing mobile interfaces that interact directly with physical hardware, smart-home hubs, or IoT devices.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and implement the clean, high-performance frontend mobile application for the IoT Tap Timer ecosystem using React Native.

• Collaborate closely with firmware, embedded systems, and cloud backend engineers to define robust, reliable connectivity and synchronization protocols between the mobile app, the physical device, and the power hub.

• Contribute directly to technical stack selection, mobile design patterns, and state-management definitions tailored to real-time telemetry and hardware status tracking.

• Design intuitive user workflows for complex watering schedule configurations, local device pairing, and real-time flow monitoring.

• Integrate agentic AI-assisted development tools (such as Cursor or Claude Code) into the daily workflow to accelerate code discovery, refactoring, and test scaffolding while maintaining high standards of code quality.

• Lay the foundational mobile infrastructure to support the seamless integration of predictive, AI-driven watering recommendations in subsequent product rollouts.

Required Technical Skills

Strong experience in several of the following areas:

• Mobile Ecosystem: Advanced React Native development, TypeScript, JavaScript, and native iOS/Android bridge integration.

• IoT & Hardware Connectivity: Experience handling local and cloud-based device communication protocols (such as BLE, Wi-Fi, MQTT, or WebSockets).

• AI-Assisted Engineering: Hands-on mastery of modern developer automation harnesses, specifically Cursor, Claude Code, or GitHub Copilot.

• State & Data Management: Expertise managing asynchronous data flows, shared state configurations, caching, and offline-first data synchronization.

• Tooling & CI/CD: Native mobile deployment pipelines, App Store Connect, Google Play Console, and modern automated testing frameworks.

• AI-Powered Mobile Engineering: Practical proficiency in leveraging agentic development workflows (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) to automate complex React Native state management, accelerate UI prototyping, and generate robust cross-platform test suites.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in the smart-home automation industry, consumer IoT products, or intelligent agricultural/residential irrigation systems.

• Familiarity with hardware emulators, prototype testing cycles, and working alongside physical product benches.

• Conceptual understanding of machine learning integration points or data models within consumer mobile interfaces.

Soft Skills

• Advanced English proficiency with excellent technical communication and storytelling skills.

• A strong greenfield R&D mindset characterized by curiosity, adaptability, and high tolerance for evolving system definitions.

• High technical ownership, proactive problem-solving, and a collaborative team orientation to work effectively across hardware and software engineering boundaries.
