Full Job Description
The Role

As a Senior / Staff React Native Developer, you will own the experience that millions of Canadians interact with daily. We don't build wrappers or standard CRUD apps; we build ultra-responsive, highly secure, and visually flawless mobile experiences from the ground up. You will set the technical direction for our React Native architecture, bridge the gap between JS and native modules when performance demands it, and mentor engineers who are obsessed with shipping world-class code.

Our engineering teams are small by design. You'll work closely with product and design to turn complex financial mechanics into seamless, high-performance interactions.

What you'll be doing:
  • Architect & Scale: Design, build, and maintain robust, scalable frontend applications using React Native for iOS, Android, and Web.
  • DX Tooling: Improve and maintain developer experience tooling to ensure our engineering teams can ship high-quality code at speed.
  • Drive Performance: Optimize app performance, render times, and memory leaks. You know how to thread native code (Swift/Kotlin) into the React Native ecosystem when JavaScript hits a bottleneck.
  • Ship End-to-End: Write clean, modular, and highly testable code. You own your features from initial architectural design through deployment to the App Store and Google Play.
  • Technical Leadership: Set the standard for mobile engineering excellence. You will lead technical design reviews, champion automated testing (unit, integration, and e2e), and mentor junior/intermediate developers.
  • Minimize Friction: Help optimize processes. Stay close enough to the codebase to maintain absolute technical credibility while operating at a strategic level.


Who we're looking for:
  • The Experience: You have at least 7 years of software engineering experience, with a heavy emphasis on building and scaling complex production mobile applications.
  • The Tech Stack: You have deep, production-proven expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript and React Native. Familiarity with native mobile development (iOS/Swift or Android/Kotlin) is highly valued2.
  • Architecture Mindset: You understand state management at scale, mobile security best practices (storage, biometrics, cryptography), and how to build resilient offline-first or highly cached experiences.
  • High Ownership: You care about the product, not just the code. You have a track record of shipping beautiful consumer experiences and iterating based on real-world data.
  • On-Site Collaboration: You thrive in a high-intensity, high-growth environment and are excited to collaborate in person daily at our Calgary headquarters.


Apply with us:

At Neo, you'll work with industry-leading technology that is changing the way we live and redefining Canada's financial future. It's a serious deal, and we're building a high-performance, mission-driven, and fast-paced team that strives to make a difference in every Canadian's life. We value personal growth, autonomy, leadership at all levels, and the ability to learn quickly from mistakes.

Successful candidates for this position will be required to undergo a security screening, including a criminal record check and a credit check.
