About the role

You will play a key role in shaping how we build and grow our app capabilities going forward. This role does not include personnel responsibility. You will report to our Tech Lead/Engineering Manager for Web & App and be part of our tech team Customer Journey.
Tech stack: React Native, Expo, TypeScript, GraphQL and REST APIs, CI/CD pipelines, App Store and Google Play deployment, automated testing.
