Job Description:

Assurant Labs is looking for a thoughtful, adaptive individual with a growth mindset to join our team as a Full Stack Software Engineer with a focus on mobile app development with React Native.

This is a remote position.

In this role, you will work closely with a small product team to create mobile applications to serve customers with an engaging, dynamic user experience. We have seen people thrive in this role from a variety of backgrounds, but we work primarily in React Native with some native Android and iOS. Experience developing mobile applications is a strong plus, but not a requirement if you have worked with React or a similar JavaScript framework. 

Responsibilities include solving problems independently and with peers, researching and experimenting with new technology and UX designs, and building features that we measure for value to our users. Candidates must have strong communication skills, the ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently, sound judgment, and the ability to be productive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

Responsibilities

• Build scalable, highly reliable product features

• Design, implement, and maintain applications used by both mobile and web clients

• Create and maintain documentation pertaining to code and engineering processes

• Work in a collaborative environment by occasional pair and/or mob programming

• Communicating 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 design and code reviews

• Grow subject matter expertise in programming and product domain knowledge

Technical Requirements

• 2+ years of experience as a software engineer

• A strong foundation in object-oriented or functional programming

• Solid understanding of the full development life cycle

• Hands-on knowledge of a version control system, specifically GitLab or GitHub

• Experience consuming RESTful APIs

Non-Technical Requirements

• A disciplined approach to development, testing, and quality assurance

• A desire for a deep technical understanding of our systems and architecture

• A continuous learning mindset that keeps you current on development best practices and trends

• Effectively communicate technical designs and considerations to peers and product leadership

• Ability to own tasks and resolve ambiguity in requirements

• Reason with and adapt to evolving development tasks and priorities

• Balance trade-offs between speed and quality based on business priorities

Hopes

• Experience with mobile development for Android and/or iOS

  • Experience with React Native or a similar JavaScript framework

  • Experience with Swift, Java, and/or Kotlin

• Experience with GraphQL

• Experience with testing frameworks like XCTest, Espresso, or Detox

• Willingness to participate in mentoring and skills transfer among team members
