  • Maintain high code quality with
    TypeScript, ESLint, Husky
    , and other tooling
  • Conduct design reviews, usability testing, and contribute to improving design and engineering workflows

Required Skills

    Figma
    (design systems, prototyping, handoff)
  • Solid experience with
    React Native
    (Expo) and
  • Proficiency in
    TypeScript
    for production-grade code
  • Familiarity with
    TailwindCSS
    and
    shadcn/ui
    for rapid UI development
  • Experience with
    Expo modules
    and bridging to native code when needed
  • Understanding of accessibility, responsiveness, and performance in UI/UX
  • Familiarity with
    linting, pre-commit hooks, and code quality tools

Bonus Points

  • Strong design portfolio showcasing
    mobile and web app designs
  • Experience working in
    fast-moving product or startup environments
  • Knowledge of
    animations, transitions, and micro-interactions
    that elevate UX
  • Ability to balance
    user needs
    with
    engineering constraints
  • Experience working independently and collaborating asynchronously

What We Offer

  • Remote flexibility (within Nairobi)
  • High-impact work on real products shaping digital experiences
  • Opportunity to influence both
    design systems
    and
    front-end architecture
  • Potential for long-term collaboration and growth within Fusion Labs
