Software Engineer - Mobile (SDE 3)

Own mobile features from architecture to production.

AbleCredit builds software for complex enterprise workflows where AI, APIs, business rules, human decisions, and real-world operations have to work together reliably. We care about building products that work in production - not just in demos. Our mobile applications operate in the real world: variable networks, device fragmentation, media capture, background work, permissions, and workflows that cannot simply fail when connectivity does. We're looking for an engineer who can independently own substantial parts of that experience.

What You'll Own?

• Design and ship major mobile features end-to-end, from technical design through production rollout.

• Build reliable experiences around camera, audio, media upload, location, permissions, and device capabilities.

• Design for poor connectivity, retries, offline behavior, background execution, and interrupted workflows.

• Own API integration, local state, caching, persistence, and synchronization patterns.

• Improve app startup time, responsiveness, battery/network usage, crash rate, and overall reliability.

• Build observability into mobile features and debug issues across device, network, and backend boundaries.

• Contribute to mobile architecture, testing strategy, release engineering, and technical standards.

• Mentor junior engineers and interns through reviews and design discussions.

What We're Looking For?

• 5+ years building production mobile applications.

• Strong experience with Android/Kotlin, iOS/Swift, Flutter, React Native, or comparable mobile stacks.

• Deep understanding of mobile lifecycle, networking, concurrency, persistence, and performance.

• Experience shipping and supporting applications through production releases.

• Strong debugging skills using device logs, profiling, crash reporting, and network inspection.

• Good API design instincts and ability to reason about backend/mobile contracts.

• Ability to independently turn ambiguous product requirements into robust technical solutions.

Nice to Have

• Media capture or real-time audio/video experience.

• Offline-first or field-workforce applications.

• Mobile security, encryption, device integrity, or secure storage.

• Native module/bridge development in a cross-platform application.

• Experience with mobile CI/CD, automated testing, staged rollouts, and release observability.

How We Build?

Mobile is not a thin client. We treat device behavior, network reliability, telemetry, performance, and release safety as core engineering concerns. Engineers own what they ship after it reaches production.

About the role

You'll join our React Native team and work under a Senior React Native Developer to build and ship features for our iOS and Android apps. You'll also work with the Backend team on API integrations. This is a good role for someone who wants to grow quickly in mobile development.

What you'll do

• Build mobile app features and UI components in React Native (Expo).
• Integrate backend APIs into the mobile app with guidance from the senior developer and the Backend team.
• Fix bugs, write tests and improve app performance and stability.
• Help with builds and releases to the App Store and Play Store.
• Take part in code reviews, standups and sprint planning.

What we're looking for

• 1–3 years of experience with React Native (internships and solid personal projects count).
• Good knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and React fundamentals.
• Basic understanding of REST APIs, JSON and how frontends talk to backends.
• Eagerness to learn and openness to feedback.
• Clear communication. You should be comfortable asking questions and working with backend and design teammates.
• Experience working with AI tools for development such as Claude and Cursor

Note: You don't need to be full stack. A basic understanding of backend concepts and the willingness to work with the Backend team is enough.

Nice to have

• A published app or personal project on the App Store or Play Store.
• Exposure to Expo, Git workflows and mobile debugging tools.
