React Native Engineer

Location: Remote (with flexibility for collaboration across time zones)
Client: FamilySearch
Start Date: Targeting October 2025

About the Role

FamilySearch is modernizing its mobile app ecosystem and moving from Android-only development to full iOS + Android support using React Native. The goal is to quickly rewrite existing Android apps into React Native—leveraging AI-assisted tooling where possible—so the team can deliver faster updates, respond to issues more efficiently, and accelerate the release of new features.

This role will be instrumental in:

• Recreating the Oral Gen app in React Native.

• Building new features on top of the React Native base.

• Creating a new field audits app in React Native.

The business value is clear: more overlap across platforms, quicker iterations, and freeing the team to focus on innovation rather than being limited by Android-only development.

Key Responsibilities

• Rewrite existing Android apps into React Native, ensuring parity in functionality and performance.

• Partner with the team to leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery.

• Build new features for Oral Gen once the React Native migration is complete.

• Develop a new field audits app from the ground up in React Native.

• Ensure seamless deployment across iOS and Android platforms.

• Collaborate with product and design teams to deliver a high-quality, scalable, and maintainable codebase.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional software development experience.

• 4+ years of hands-on React Native experience delivering production-grade apps.

• Strong experience with mobile app development for both iOS and Android.

• Solid understanding of modern JavaScript/TypeScript.

• Ability to leverage AI-enabled workflows for code migration and acceleration.

• Experience building performant, scalable front-end applications.

• Strong problem-solving skills with a pragmatic, “get it done” approach.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with rewriting apps from one platform/framework to another.

• Familiarity with backend integration and API-driven mobile apps.

• Experience working in lean, fast-paced teams.
