    (Expo) and
  • Proficiency in
    TypeScript
    for production-grade code
  • Familiarity 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

    mobile and web app designs
  • Experience working in
    fast-moving product or startup environments
  • Knowledge of
    animations, transitions, and micro-interactions
    that elevate UX

    user needs
    with
    engineering constraints

What We Offer

  • Remote flexibility (within Nairobi)

    and
