We’re kicking off a greenfield project for a UK-based company in the events and healthcare space. The goal is to build a cross-platform mobile application that will serve as an extension of their existing WordPress-based system.
The mobile app will present key content and data to users in a read-only manner, pulling from the current CMS via API. Additionally, the app will connect to a lightweight auxiliary backend that will support a new user role and limited functionality. The solution will be built using React Native to maximize code reusability across iOS and Android within a limited budget.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the estimation of effort, scope, and timeline
- Work closely with a business analyst to clarify functional and technical requirements
- Design and develop the mobile application using React Native
- Integrate the app with the existing WordPress system (read-only)
- Connect with a custom auxiliary backend
- Ensure a smooth, performant, and user-friendly experience
- Optionally lead a small team during the development phase
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in mobile development
- Strong hands-on experience with React Native and JavaScript/TypeScript
- Proven experience delivering cross-platform mobile apps
- Familiarity with RESTful API integration
- Understanding of native mobile capabilities (e.g., push notifications, offline support)
- Strong communication skills and ability to work independently
- Fluent in English (written and spoken)
Nice to Have
- Experience with WordPress REST API
- Familiarity with lightweight backends (e.g., Firebase or custom Node.js APIs)
- Experience in leading or mentoring other developers
