Reporting to the Software Development Manager - Mobile, you'll contribute to a team focused on delivering reliable, maintainable mobile experiences that support Petal's healthcare products across Canada. The mobile team builds and evolves React Native applications used in real clinical environments, and your work will be felt by healthcare professionals every day.
You'll collaborate with product managers, designers, and fellow developers to ship high-quality mobile features, participate in technical design conversations, and help keep the codebase consistent, well-tested, and secure. This is a hands-on role with genuine impact at the feature level, not just implementation tasks assigned from above.
You're also expected to bring a thoughtful approach to AI-assisted development. That means using tools like Copilot or similar to move faster and write better code, while taking real ownership of what gets reviewed and merged.
In your day to day, you will:
-
Build and ship React Native features across iOS and Android, working closely with product managers and designers to deliver polished, production-ready experiences.
-
Participate in technical design discussions, applying your understanding of the app architecture to propose sound, maintainable solutions at the feature level.
-
Write well-tested code and take part in code reviews with a focus on correctness, clarity, and security, not just checking boxes.
-
Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate implementation, documentation, and troubleshooting, then critically evaluate the output before it lands in the codebase.
-
Identify and help resolve performance issues, crashes, and reliability gaps in production mobile applications.
-
Break down moderately complex problems into clear tasks, estimate timelines with your team's input, and surface blockers before they become escalations.
-
Work within and contribute to the mobile CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions, Bitrise, Fastlane), understanding how builds, tests, and releases come together end to end.
-
Follow shared component and coding standards that keep the codebase consistent across teams and apps, and contribute improvements where you see them.
-
Adapt quickly to new tools, libraries, and techniques as the mobile ecosystem evolves, seeking guidance to stay aligned with team practices.
-
Share knowledge openly, give constructive feedback in reviews and conversations, and support teammates when capacity allows.
Your profile
-
Hands-on experience building mobile applications with React Native, with a track record of shipping features to production on iOS and Android.
-
Strong TypeScript skills and a disciplined approach to type safety and code quality.
-
Solid understanding of iOS and Android platform fundamentals and their constraints. You know why things behave differently across platforms and how to handle it.
-
Experience writing and maintaining automated tests, and a genuine commitment to reliability over speed for its own sake.
-
Comfortable working within CI/CD pipelines and understanding how mobile releases reach production.
-
Clear, proactive communicator who keeps teammates informed, flags blockers early, and contributes to a culture of open collaboration.
Nice-to-have:
-
Native development experience (Swift or Kotlin) for bridging or platform-specific integrations.
-
Familiarity with shared component libraries or design systems.
-
Experience in a monorepo environment (Nx, Turborepo, or similar).
-
Prior exposure to app performance monitoring or crash reporting tools.
We recognize that experience comes in many forms. If you're excited about this opportunity but don't meet every qualification listed, we encourage you to apply.
