React-Native Developer - UI & Animations

Full–time

Posted on: 15 days ago

As a React Native Developer at one of Weekday's clients, your role will focus on UI engineering, animations, and design-led mobile experiences. You will collaborate closely with design and product teams to bring visually rich concepts to life and deliver polished, production-ready mobile experiences. This opportunity is ideal for someone passionate about building pixel-perfect interfaces and high-performance mobile applications.
  • *Key Responsibilities:**
  • - Build high-quality, pixel-perfect mobile user interfaces using React Native CLI (Bare Workflow) and TypeScript.
    - Develop smooth, complex animations and transitions using Reanimated v2+.
    - Implement gesture-driven interactions using React Native Gesture Handler and animation-based gesture systems.
    - Translate Figma designs into responsive, production-ready mobile interfaces with high visual fidelity.
    - Maintain consistent theming and design systems using NativeWind or modern styling approaches.
    - Optimize UI performance to achieve smooth scrolling, efficient list rendering, and 60 FPS animations.
    - Collaborate closely with design and product teams to continuously refine UI/UX experiences.
    - Build responsive and adaptive layouts for phones, tablets, and foldable devices.
    - Work with the React Native New Architecture (Fabric and TurboModules) for performance-critical UI components.
    - Contribute to modular, component-driven UI architecture (micro-frontends / module federation, Re.Pack preferred).
    - Integrate native UI components when required using Swift/Objective-C (iOS) or Kotlin/Java (Android).
    - Set up and maintain mobile CI/CD pipelines using Fastlane and GitHub Actions.
    - Manage App Store and Play Store build, release, and publishing workflows.
    - Own UI features end-to-end, from concept through production release.
  • *Required Skills & Experience:**
  • - Strong hands-on experience with React Native CLI (Bare Workflow) and TypeScript.
    - Proven expertise in building high-fidelity, pixel-perfect mobile UIs.
    - Deep experience with Reanimated v2+ and animation-driven interactions.
    - Strong understanding of gesture handling in mobile applications.
    - Proficiency with NativeWind or modern styling and theming systems.
    - Solid understanding of responsive and adaptive mobile layout design.
    - Experience optimizing rendering and UI performance.
    - Familiarity with Hermes profiling and performance debugging.
    - Working knowledge of native mobile development for UI integrations.
    - Experience with mobile CI/CD pipelines and app store release processes.
    - Ability to work independently with strong ownership of UI delivery.
  • *Good to Have:**
  • - Experience with React Native New Architecture (Fabric / TurboModules).
    - Exposure to micro-frontend or module federation patterns in React Native (Re.Pack).
    - Portfolio or GitHub projects showcasing animation-heavy or gesture-driven mobile apps.
