Their ambition is to have a positive impact on the everyday lives of hundreds of millions of users around the world.
Software Engineers in the Engineering team work hand-in-hand with the Product team, from exploration, design, and roadmap prioritization to implementation, and deployment in production. At Joko, we have firsthand experience that teams with engineers who possess a diverse range of skills, and where engineering and product collaborate closely, are able to deliver a truly delightful and innovative user experience.
The Engineering team is currently growing fast to continuously innovate on all parts of our product and tech stack and to empower the revolution of the way people shop online.
At Joko, we value ownership and impact. As our Staff Mobile Engineer, you will own meaningful parts of our mobile application in production, from technical design to delivery and continuous improvement, while collaborating closely with the wider engineering team.
Mobile architecture & development: Contribute to the definition and evolution of our React Native architecture, while designing, developing, and refactoring features in our mobile application, with a strong focus on scalability, maintainability, and performance.
Codebase modernization: Incrementally improve an existing React Native codebase by adopting modern patterns, best practices, and platform capabilities, balancing long-term quality with short-term product needs.
Performance & user experience: Measure, profile, and optimize mobile performance (startup time, rendering, memory, caching), proactively preventing regressions and maintaining a high-quality user experience at scale.
Tooling & developer experience: Improve mobile developer productivity by evolving tooling, build systems, debugging workflows, and automations, ensuring fast feedback loops and reliable day-to-day development.
Mobile platform expertise: Provide deep React Native expertise across the team by reviewing designs and implementations, challenging assumptions, and driving better technical solutions in production.
Release & quality processes: Improve and maintain mobile CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, and release automation for both iOS and Android.
API & data integration: Collaborate closely with backend teams to design and integrate robust APIs and data flows, and occasionally contribute targeted improvements to backend code to support mobile product needs.
Collaboration & mentorship: Participate in technical discussions, review code, and help raise mobile engineering standards across the team.
Mobile experience: Strong experience in mobile development, with a clear expertise in React Native (typically 5+ years).
Technical excellence: Strong understanding of mobile architectures and performance tradeoffs, with experience building reliable, data-driven applications in production.
Product-minded: Strong sensitivity to user experience, performance metrics, and real-world usage at scale.
Problem solver: Comfortable working in complex, evolving codebases, with the patience and pragmatism to improve them incrementally.
Mobile tooling & delivery: Experience with mobile CI/CD, release processes, testing, and platform-specific constraints (iOS & Android).
Collaboration: Able to work effectively within a broader engineering team, and collaborate closely with Product Managers and Product Designers to turn product ideas into high-quality mobile experiences.
Languages: Fluent in English, both written and spoken. French is not required.

For tech roles: Live technical interviews:
Coding interview + System design interview
For research internships, an additional round may involve analyzing and presenting a research paper
Step 3 – Founders interview (45 min): Conversation with two of our founders.
References: Up to five calls with former colleagues or managers.
