What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Developer - Mobile Technologies position at Boats Group?
Senior Software Developer - Mobile Technologies (Miami/Hybrid)
About The Role
Boats Group runs some of the most heavily trafficked marketplaces in the boating world, and React Native is a first-class platform here—not an experiment or a wrapper. Our mobile apps power discovery, messaging, lead flow, and transactions for millions of users and thousands of dealers globally.
As a Senior Mobile Engineer (React Native), you’ll work on a long-lived React Native codebase where architecture, performance, and developer experience actually matter. You’ll help shape how we structure shared components, manage state, handle offline and flaky-network scenarios, and integrate cleanly with native iOS and Android when it counts.
This is a role for engineers who enjoy going deep: profiling performance, eliminating re-render bottlenecks, designing scalable patterns, and making pragmatic tradeoffs between shared and platform-specific code. You’ll collaborate closely with backend and product partners, but you’ll also have real ownership over mobile technical direction—what we standardize, what we refactor, and what we never let regress.
If you’re excited by React Native at scale, care about clean abstractions and production-grade quality, and want your work in the hands of a massive, real user base, Boats Group gives you both the challenge and the leverage.
