The Role
Your mission
GotPhoto is looking for an enthusiastic Senior Mobile Engineer to join our Fototagging team in Berlin or remotely to ensure the successful migration of our mobile application to React Native and a robust, scalable mobile architecture that supports product growth.
As we grow and expand, we recognize the need for a dedicated Senior Mobile Engineer to join our team and drive the transition from native mobile development to a unified React Native approach. This role will act as a technical expert within the mobile team, providing architectural direction and mentorship to junior engineers.
Responsibilities

- Design and implement a new mobile architecture that ensures maintainability, scalability, and high performance
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to deliver new features end-to-end
- Apply AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Cursor, Windsurf) to accelerate development and improve code quality
- Drive performance optimization across both iOS and Android platforms. Our app works offline and interacts with cameras via Bluetooth; you don't have to be an expert in this, but some experience is helpful

- Someone with 5–8 years in development, including 3–5 years in mobile development
- Deep expertise in React Native and a strong familiarity with either Kotlin or Swift

- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, crash analytics tools (e.g., Sentry, Firebase Crashlytics), and release processes (App Store/Play Store)
- Excellent stakeholder management skills: either mentoring junior engineers or explaining technical decisions to non-tech teams
- Nice to have: Experience with offline-first apps and understanding of hardware-level constraints
The Perks
- We work in a flexible hybrid model at GotPhoto, leveraging the best of both worlds, with our office at Hausvogteiplatz serving as our central hub for collaboration in Berlin
- Education budget, that allows you to grow professionally and explore new ideas
- Unlimited holidays (26 days is the minimum)
