[Hiring] Senior Frontend & Mobile Engineer @La Royale

Role Description

This is a 3-month fixed-term contract, with the possibility of extension. The role requires you to build fast, intuitive, and resilient experiences across responsive web and mobile devices, making complex live, social, and gamified interactions feel simple and engaging. You will be a senior hands-on contributor across client architecture and product delivery. You will influence technical standards, review important work, and mentor colleagues, while remaining directly involved in implementation.

What You Will Do

• Product Delivery: Design and implement polished experiences across social interaction, live media, maps, messaging, communities, and gamification.
• Client Architecture: Improve frontend and mobile architecture, shared components, state management, navigation, and data flows across web, iOS, and Android.
• Technical Discovery: Analyse requirements, assess feasibility, and contribute to estimates, dependencies, and implementation plans.
• Quality: Build automated tests and improve accessibility, performance, observability, maintainability, and release confidence.
• Realtime Experience: Implement resilient behaviour for WebSockets, notifications, media playback, and rapidly changing application state.
• Release Ownership: Support CI/CD, app distribution, analytics, crash reporting, feature flags, and production debugging.
• Technical Collaboration: Review code, document decisions, share reusable patterns, and mentor other engineers through day-to-day delivery.
• AI-Assisted Development: Use coding agents and LLM-assisted workflows responsibly across implementation, testing, debugging, and documentation.

Qualifications

• Senior Client Engineering: Strong experience shipping and maintaining production frontend or mobile applications.
• Modern Web: Deep practical knowledge of React, Next.js, or an equivalent modern client stack.
• Mobile Delivery: Production experience with React Native, Capacitor, native iOS/Android, or an equivalent cross-platform approach.
• Performance: Strong understanding of rendering, caching, bundle size, device constraints, accessibility, and cross-browser compatibility.
• Product Craft: Good interaction judgment and attention to detail, ideally in consumer social, gaming, media, or event products.
• Engineering Quality: Comfortable with automated testing, code review, production debugging, and incremental improvement of technical debt.
• Collaboration: Communicates trade-offs clearly and works effectively with design, product, backend, and operations.

Nice to Have

• Capacitor, iOS/Android WebView lifecycles, Swift bridges, Xcode/TestFlight, CocoaPods, or Gradle.
• Firebase Analytics or Crashlytics, push notifications, deep links, device permissions, and secure local storage.
• Maps, HLS playback, realtime streaming, graphics, media processing, or performance tuning.
• Playwright, Appium, XCTest, Vitest, accessibility testing, AWS, or Cloudflare.
• Working knowledge of TypeScript/Node.js, Python, APIs, authentication, and data contracts.
• Exposure to on-device AI, browser ML, voice, or audio interfaces.

What You’ll Gain

• Build the visible product experience of an ambitious global consumer platform.
• Solve unusual UX problems spanning live media, maps, social interaction, and gamification.
• Influence cross-device architecture and design-system foundations.
• Grow toward broader technical ownership as the frontend and mobile team expands.
