Description

Assurant Labs is looking for a mobile engineer who can lead technical initiatives, explore novel problems, and contribute to the development of other team members. In this role, you will work as an engineer for a cross-functional product team to evolve the Pocket Geek Home mobile application. The app is written in React Native with some native Android and iOS, and our ideal candidate has deep experience in both Android and React Native.

• Design, implement and maintain components used by both mobile and web clients (think React Native for Web)
• Create and maintain documentation pertaining to architecture and engineering processes
• Work in a collaborative environment by occasional pair and/or mob programming
• Communicate with Engineering Managers and Product Owners to plan and prioritize work and design technical solutions
• Work in a cadence of two-week sprints with daily stand-ups, team planning events, and bi-weekly retrospectives
• Conduct system design and code reviews
• Participate in mentoring and skills transfer among team members
