Software Developer 3 - React Native

About Us: SSENSE (pronounced [es-uhns]) is a global technology platform operating at the intersection of culture, community, and commerce. Headquartered in Montreal, it features a mix of established and emerging luxury brands across womenswear, menswear, kidswear, and Everything ElseTM. SSENSE has garnered critical acclaim as both an e-commerce engine and a producer of cultural content, generating an average of 100 million monthly page views. 

At SSENSE, we are at the intersection of culture, community, and commerce, and our mobile application is the most direct connection to our customer. We are looking for a skilled React Native Developer to join our team and help us translate a world-class digital experience into an immersive, intuitive, and tactile mobile application. As a Level 3 Developer, you will be a key player in your squad, tackling complex challenges with autonomy and shaping the very features our millions of users interact with daily. This is your chance to move beyond the ordinary and build a product that defines the future of luxury retail in the palm of their hands.

Responsibilities

• End-to-End Feature Development: Take ownership of complex tasks from the product roadmap, breaking them down into manageable steps and delivering high-quality, production-ready features with minimal guidance.
• Championing Code Quality & Best Practices: Be a main contributor to our codebase, writing testable, efficient, and reusable code. You will elevate the team's work through thoughtful and detailed Pull Request reviews, ensuring everything we ship meets SSENSE's high standards.
• Active Participation in Technical Design: Do more than just implement—actively contribute to solution design. You will challenge ideas, collaborate with peers on technical decisions, and help more junior developers understand the "why" behind the architecture.
• Mentorship and Continuous Learning: Play a key role in growing our team by leading the onboarding of new developers. You will also be an active participant in SSENSE University, our internal learning platform, to constantly sharpen your own skills.
• Ensuring Application Performance & Reliability: Go beyond functionality to guarantee a flawless user experience. You will be accountable for your code's quality and performance, leveraging tools for telemetry, crashlytics, and monitoring to ensure our app is fast, stable, and reliable.
• Collaborate on Product & Roadmap Definition: Act as a technical partner to your squad's Product Manager. You will contribute to high-level estimations and help sequence development, ensuring the product vision is technically sound and achievable.

• You possess a minimum of 3 years of professional experience developing mobile applications with React Native, backed by a strong foundation in JavaScript/TypeScript and React. Experience with native modules (Swift/Objective-C or Java/Kotlin) is a significant advantage.
• You are experienced and comfortable working with modern data layer technologies, specifically using GraphQL for efficient and flexible data fetching in a mobile environment.
• Your expertise extends to the entire mobile development lifecycle, including CI/CD pipelines (like Bitrise or similar), test automation frameworks, and observability tools (Crashlytics, Real User Monitoring, etc.).
• You understand the unique challenges of building an application for a large and passionate user base. You think about performance, accessibility, and scalability in everything you build.
• You are a natural problem-solver with a can-do attitude. You take immense ownership of your work, are meticulous with details, and are driven to find the best possible solution to any challenge.
• You are an excellent team player who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative squad environment. Your strong communication skills allow you to articulate technical concepts clearly and effectively.
