Picnic has multiple mobile apps that are of crucial importance to the business. Just to name two of them: the store app allows our customers to do their grocery shopping as conveniently as possible, and the runner app guides our delivery girls and boys through the streets, to make our customers happy with bags full of fresh and tasty products. 

At Picnic, we use native and React Native alongside each other. Our android and iOS apps were developed as native apps. More recently, we have started to use React Native where possible. Using cross-platform technologies allows us to do more in the same amount of time and do it better. Like this we deliver more value to our customers, which is what we are all about. 
However enthusiastic we are about the technology, we are not dogmatic about it: we only use React Native where it makes sense. The user experience is our first priority.

And don’t worry, we love type-safety so all our React Native code is written in TypeScript. We cannot imagine writing code without static types, so you don’t have to worry about having to write code in a dynamically typed language called JavaScript.

**What challenges await you**
- Shape the strategy for integrating React Native components in our native apps
- Define conventions and infrastructure around React (Native) development
- Build out our backend-driven UI framework, developed in React Native
- Transition existing functionalities from native to React Native (whenever possible) 
- Train our amazing team of native engineers
-Live and breathe innovation, technology, and engineering

**Who you are**
- Bachelor in Computer Science or equivalent
- 2 years of full-time experience working with React Native
- Experience with SCM, preferably Git
- Fluent in English
- For bonus points: open source contributions to the React Native framework

**The tech we use**
- TypeScript and RxJS
- React Native
- CodePush
- Redux, Styled Components
- Jest, Storybook
