StartupHeroes is looking for React Native / React Developer to build features, and improve the performance and reliability of our systems as we rapidly support products and organisations.

We build apps using reliable tools that our team knows and trusts, React, React Native, Java, AWS, Kubernetes and MySQL. We're a collaborative team who genuinely enjoys working together with a cross-functional team of product managers, designers, frontend, iOS, Android, automation, and quality engineers to make our apps a better. We are looking for engineers that understand that simplicity and reliability are aspects of a system to be carefully calculated with every decision made.

StartupHeroes has a positive, diverse, and supportive culture—we look for people who are curious, inventive, and work to be a little better every single day.
