Architect React Native Software Engineer Tech Lead

Our Customer is an industry-leading game development studio founded in 2007 by award-winning industry veterans. SGI is fearless in creating IP and boldly partners with renowned brands to develop a wide range of world-class, immersive titles and interactive experiences that resonate with strategy gamers worldwide and entertain millions of casual players every day.

We’re building a cross-platform React Native mobile app for sports fan engagement. Core features include content feeds, short-form video, user profiles, gamified challenges, points/leaderboards, notifications, and premium subscription/in-app purchase. The app will ship on iOS and Android from a single codebase, integrate with an existing CMS/asset pipeline, and use a managed backend for auth, profiles, telemetry, and leaderboards (e.g., PlayFab or equivalent). Initial build targets a fast MVP/soft launch, followed by iterative releases.

We’ve got a great team with a designer and product manager already in place. Join us as a developer and help build something amazing together!
