Senior Software Engineer (React Native)

At PrizePicks, we are changing the game in daily fantasy sports. We are a passionate team of innovators dedicated to creating a best-in-class experience for our members. Our engineering team builds and scales the platform that powers our explosive growth — from our consumer-facing mobile app to the services that handle millions of daily transactions. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Overall Game Experience (OGX) team and help us continue to build the future of fantasy sports.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in TypeScript and React Native to join our Overall Game Experience team. In this role, you will design, build, and own critical features within PrizePicks’ React Native mobile application — including developer experience and tooling, deployment pipelines and CI/CD workflows, large-scale refactors, and overall app health and performance. You will tackle high-scope, complex technical problems, define the technical path from product idea to production, and mentor engineers across your team and the organization. This is a role for someone who thrives on crafting exceptional mobile experiences and wants to have a direct impact on a product used by millions.

• Design and build mobile features: Architect and implement complex features and interaction flows in our React Native app that are performant, accessible, and deliver exceptional user experiences.
• Own technical delivery: Lead the technical design and implementation of complex features end-to-end — from product requirements through deployment and monitoring.
• Drive app performance: Diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks, optimize rendering, reduce bundle size, and improve the overall responsiveness of the mobile app.
• Define technical direction: Propose and drive architectural decisions for your team’s mobile features, evaluating tradeoffs and communicating recommendations clearly.
• Mentor and elevate: Provide hands-on mentorship to Software Engineers I, II, and III on your team and in the organization through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
• Improve engineering practices: Define, advocate for, and improve best practices around component architecture, testing, accessibility, and mobile deployment for your team.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with Product Managers, Designers, QA, and other engineering teams to translate product goals into well-scoped technical solutions.
• Participate in on-call rotation: Share responsibility for production incidents, contributing to root cause analysis and long-term reliability improvements.

Experience:

• 5–8 years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time building production React Native applications
• Proven track record of owning and delivering complex, multi-component mobile features in a team environment
• Experience with the full mobile development lifecycle — from development through app store submission and post-release monitoring
• Experience building mobile applications backed by large-scale, high-throughput distributed systems serving millions of users

Technical Skills:

• Expert-level TypeScript proficiency — you write clean, type-safe, well-tested production code
• Deep React Native expertise — performance optimization, native module integration, complex animations, and platform-specific considerations
• Strong experience with Expo and its ecosystem
• Proficiency with monorepo tooling (Yarn workspaces or similar)
• Solid understanding of mobile testing strategies — Jest for unit/component testing, experience with Maestro for E2E testing
• Experience with CI/CD for mobile and Expo/EAS workflows — build pipelines, OTA updates, app store deployment
• Understanding of observability in mobile — crash reporting, performance monitoring, analytics integration

Working Style:

• Comfortable working autonomously with minimal direction on ambiguous problems
• Effective communicator who can articulate technical decisions to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience working in a fully remote engineering organization
• Able to context-switch between deep technical work and collaborative planning

• Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools across the development lifecycle — coding, planning, scoping, and code review
• Experience integrating AI tooling into engineering workflows to accelerate team productivity
• Native mobile development experience (Swift/Kotlin) and the ability to bridge native modules when React Native alone isn't enough
• Experience improving developer experience at scale — build tooling, linting, code generation, or developer workflow automation
• Hands-on experience with mobile deployment pipelines, EAS Build/Submit, OTA update strategies, and release management
• Track record of leading or contributing to large-scale frontend migrations or platform rewrites
