Hyderabad (Chai Shots HQ)
Senior React Native Developer
For Chai Shots to win, we need an app people don’t just use, they love. It has to feel fast, fun, and addictive from the very first tap. You’ll be responsible for making that magic real. You won’t just be writing code, you’ll be crafting emotions, moments, and memories. If you love clean UI, powerful UX, and fast-paced product builds, and want your code to be experienced by millions this is your shot.
Role Overview
As our Senior React Native Developer, you’ll lead the charge in crafting a beautiful, blazing-fast mobile app that feels as addictive as the stories we tell. From buttery smooth animations to rock-solid performance across Android and iOS, your work will define how millions of users experience Chai Shots daily.
This is a hands-on, zero-to-one role. You’ll work closely with design, product, and content teams to bring bold ideas to life – fast.
Key responsibilities
Own the mobile app end-to-end – architecture, performance, animations, and user experience.
Collaborate deeply with designers – bring screens, transitions, and gestures to life pixel-perfectly.
Build with scalability in mind – handle growth, caching, deep linking, analytics, and edge cases.
Integrate backend APIs with strong error handling and fallbacks.
Optimize performance – loading speed, memory usage, frame rate, offline behavior.
Mentor junior devs – share knowledge, review PRs, and uplift the team’s technical bar.
Drive clean code standards – write modular, testable, and maintainable code using TypeScript.
Stay up-to-date with new React Native releases, Expo, and mobile best practices.
Required skills & qualifications
4–9 years of experience, with at least 3–5 years building and shipping consumer grade apps in React Native.
Strong mobile fundamentals – animations, lifecycle management, push notifications, offline-first architecture.
Experience with deep linking, in-app purchases/subscriptions, OTA updates (Expo/CodePush), etc.
Passion for performance – you measure FPS, care about UX polish, and hate lag.
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
Experience working in early-stage startup environments is a huge plus.
Bonus if you’ve built media-heavy apps (video playback, caching, feed rendering, etc.)
