About the role

  • Lead the architecture and technical direction for a new cross-platform React Native codebase (iOS, Android, Web).
  • Define patterns for state management, navigation and data fetching (e.g., React Query/TanStack, Zustand/Redux, React Navigation) and drive consistent adoption.
  • Collaborate on a design-system approach (theming, component library, tokens) enabling fast, consistent assembly of new member experiences.
  • Design and evolve a modular, configuration-driven architecture that supports multiple client configurations (benefits, rules, branding) on one codebase.
  • Work closely with UX to translate design vision into performant, accessible, premium-quality UI.
  • Define patterns for analytics, logging, instrumentation and feature flags to support safe experimentation and deep behavioral insights.
  • Create patterns for A/B tests and gradual rollouts across mobile and web.
  • Partner with SRE/Backend to ensure strong observability (error tracking, crash analytics, performance monitoring) and clear member experience SLAs.
  • Establish best-in-class developer experience and CI/CD, enabling safe, fast, multi-platform releases.
  • Define and champion engineering standards: code quality, testing, documentation, practice review.
  • Partner with QA to enable automation hooks and build testable, predictable interfaces.
  • Mentor and level up the entire frontend org, including RN best practices, system design and maintainable component paradigms.
  • Play a key role in hiring: define the senior/frontend bar, interview candidates and help onboard new team members.
  • Model a design-partner mindset, using real-time prototyping and collaborative iteration with cross-functional peers.

Requirements

  • Bachelors degree at a minimum.
  • 7+ years of direct relevant experience.
  • Deep expertise in React Native, with a history of building large-scale, multi-platform applications.
  • Experience architecting large React/React Native codebases (monorepo, shared packages, design system libraries) with clear boundaries and layering.
  • Proven ability to lead complex re-platforming or greenfield rebuilds.
  • Strong knowledge of performance profiling and platform internals (Hermes, Fabric, animations, native modules, bundle optimization).
  • Ability to design maintainable component systems and UI foundations that scale for years.
  • Experience partnering closely with Product Design on complex component workflows and UX systems.
  • Familiarity with UI component libraries (MUI, Tailwind, Chakra, etc.) and responsive design.
  • Familiarity with modern tooling: TypeScript, ESLint/Prettier, Jest/RTL/Detox, Storybook, metro optimizations.
  • Strong technical communication, cross-team influencing ability and independent IC leadership.
Benefits
  • Vida is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.
  • Reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans in our job application procedures.
