Are you a senior React Native engineer who enjoys owning a real, mission-critical mobile app—not just shipping tickets?
Join Camplight on a production-heavy B2B2C SaaS product where the mobile application is essential to daily customer operations. This is not a greenfield demo or UI-only role — you’ll take over a complex, live React Native app relied on by millions of end users.
What you’ll be working on?
We’re working with a partner on a B2B2C SaaS platform used by 100+ paying customers and millions of end users worldwide. The mobile app is a core part of the product — when it breaks, customers can’t operate.
The app is already in production and actively used every day. The previous app owner has stepped out, and you’ll receive a proper handover before taking ownership.
Product & technical characteristics:
- 100% React Native
- Offline-first architecture
- GPS & maps functionality
- Real-time data synchronization
- Heavy integrations with backend services, algorithms, and LLM-powered features
- High production load with real-world edge cases
This is a “debug real life” type of product — you’ll deal with data consistency, performance, offline sync issues, and production incidents, not just UI flows.
Your Role
You will take full ownership of the mobile application, acting as the go-to person for everything React Native related.
Your responsibilities include:
- Owning the architecture and code quality of the React Native app
- Developing new features and maintaining existing ones
- Handling App Store / Play Store releases
- Investigating and resolving production issues
- Improving stability, performance, and developer experience
- Working closely with backend engineers and product stakeholders
- Helping shape technical decisions rather than just executing tasks
You won’t be boxed into a single feature area — you’ll touch all parts of the app.

What are we looking for?

- Strong communication: You can clearly communicate with backend engineers, product stakeholders, and the wider team.
Requirements
- Senior-level experience with React Native (several years in production apps)
- Strong understanding of mobile app architecture
- Experience with offline-first or data-sync-heavy applications
- Experience debugging production issues and performance problems
- Familiarity with App Store and Play Store release processes
- Experience working closely with backend APIs and product teams
- Comfortable working independently as the owner of a system
- Experience with GPS, maps, or geolocation-heavy apps
- Experience in startups or small, fast-moving product teams
- Exposure to real-time systems, algorithms, or AI/LLM integrations
What do we offer?
- Part-time contractor role: 3–4 days per week (~100–120 hours/month)
- Flexible working hours
- Fully remote
- Competitive contractor rate
- Clear ownership and autonomy
- Proper handover from the previous app owner
- Opportunity for longer-term collaboration beyond the initial 3 months
What does the interview process look like?
- Initial Interview (45 minutes):
Cultural and technical conversation with two Camplight team members. We’ll discuss your experience, ownership mindset, and how you approach real-world production problems. - Technical Deep Dive (choose one):
- Homework Assignment: ~2 hours of work, followed by a 1-hour technical discussion.
- Pair Programming Session: 2-hour live technical session focused on real-world React Native scenarios.
Regardless of the outcome, we’ll provide constructive feedback to support your growth.
