Job Description

Lead React Native Engineer

Permanent | Hybrid (Melbourne / Sydney) | Consulting

My client is building out a React Native capability from the ground up—and are looking for a Lead Engineer to define what “great” looks like.

This is not just another delivery role. You’ll set technical direction, influence clients, and establish React Native as a core offering across the business.

Why this role stands out

  • Own the mobile direction
    Be the go-to React Native expert, shaping architecture and setting standards across multiple client engagements
  • High-impact work
    From platform rewrites to greenfield builds and modernization—no maintenance treadmill
  • Real consulting exposure
    Partner directly with clients, influence decisions, and drive outcomes (not just code delivery)
  • AI + mobile innovation
    Help define how AI tooling integrates into mobile development workflows
  • Variety over repetition
    Work across industries, teams, and technical challenges
  • Strong engineering culture
    Collaborate with a high-performing group of mobile specialists

Working model

Flexible hybrid depending on client needs
No mandated office days — just a monthly team catch-up / town hall

What will make you stand out? 

  • Proven experience leading React Native architecture and delivery in complex environments
  • Strong communicator who can translate technical decisions into clear business impact
  • Comfortable in a consulting environment, working directly with stakeholders and influencing direction
  • A pragmatic mindset — balancing best practices with real-world constraints
  • Track record of innovative problem-solving that drives meaningful outcomes
