VSCO maintains a rich and authentic creative environment that serves photographers at all levels – preserving a home for creative opportunity, inspiration, and connection. Our mission is to champion photographers so they can make it. We empower photographers to connect with other creatives and businesses with our suite of creative tools that spans from mobile to desktop and across our global community. We are looking for people who are driven and demonstrate initiative in taking our company mission to the next level. Employees here have the opportunity to make a big impact, and believe that when we build together, we achieve stronger outcomes than we could alone. About The Role If you are passionate about React Native development and excited to join a dynamic team of creators, we encourage you to apply for this position and help us empower creators worldwide. At VSCO, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with talented individuals who share your passion for innovation and creativity. We're building an ecosystem of end-to-end tools for photographers, enhancing our existing product while creating entirely new tools and services. This is a crucial role for someone who will help define and drive that vision forward, shaping the way our users create, connect and earn. Join us in shaping the future of mobile, desktop and web technology and making a meaningful impact on the global creative community. As a Staff Engineer, you are first and foremost a technologist. You'll be in the trenches with the team in terms of writing code, solving hard problems, and staying current with the latest technologies. But your impact goes beyond individual contributions. You'll act as a technical leader who guides the team through complex challenges, champions best practices, and anticipates what's coming around the corner so the team can stay ahead. You think about scalability, long-term maintainability, and future features — even while the rest of the team is focused on shipping today's work. You'll mentor engineers, raise the bar on quality, and enable others' success. The Day to Day Lead the development of high-quality, scalable React Native applications. Push for rigorous testing, solid CI practices, and high standards across the codebase. Collaborate on and own decision making on forward-thinking architectural decisions. Align technical choices with company goals, and be pragmatic enough to choose the faster path when the business demands it. Watch for what is coming down the pike in React Native development. Mentor and elevate the team: guide engineers through tricky bugs, design decisions, and architectural trade-offs. Coach, teach, and create space for others to grow. Drive code quality through PR reviews, pushing work toward completion in an encouraging way. Your critical feedback motivates authors to improve their work and reach approval. Champion AI‑assisted development. You’ve used AI tools extensively in your own workflow and actively mentor others to adopt them. You see AI as a multiplier for the team's velocity and quality. Collaborate across the organization: work closely with Product, Design, and business stakeholders. Translate complex technical concepts into clear language for non‑technical audiences. Willing to blur the lines: you are willing to step outside your defined role when the work demands it. Whether it's jumping into an unfamiliar part of the stack or pitching in on cross‑platform efforts, you are flexible to help where needed. Qualifications 7+ years of professional software development experience with at least 4+ years focused on mobile development using React Native. Deep expertise in JavaScript, TypeScript, and modern front-end technologies including Expo. Experience integrating with RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and third‑party services. Familiarity with state management libraries (e.g., Redux) and asynchronous programming. Proven experience in building and maintaining complex, high-performance mobile applications. Strong knowledge of mobile design principles, patterns, and best practices. Experience owning projects end‑to‑end from initial prototypes to customer roll‑out. Cross‑functional experience collaborating closely with designers and product managers. Track record of mentoring engineers and raising team‑wide code quality. Experience with feature flagging, release management, and observability tools (Datadog, Crashlytics, etc.). Comfort with AI‑assisted development workflows and a desire to push what's possible.
