Overview

Chick-fil-A, Inc. has a stated intent to expand business interests in Canada, Puerto Rico and to the EMEA and APAC regions. As a result, Chick-fil-A is seeking a Sr. React Native Engineer to build custom solutions for our International Technology Ecosystem. The International Technology Ecosystem team currently operates as a start-up within an Enterprise.

As we grow internationally, you'll play a crucial role in developing custom solutions tailored to global markets. Your responsibilities will include creating proof-of-concepts, architecture within React or React Native applications, and delivering robust technical solutions that meet the specific needs of our international business operations.

In this role, you'll be responsible for delivering high quality code and contributing to the overall code standards of the project. You'll collaborate closely with our Front-End Architect to design and build robust front-end applications. You'll also have access to key stakeholders-including Outcome Owners, Enterprise, Solution, and Data Architects-to support your work and help drive success.

Responsibilities

• Experience delivering production solutions in React on the web and React Native, especially via Expo using TypeScript.

• Design and build Proof-of-Concept solutions to discover what the overall strategy and approach should be for International Solutions.
• Design and specify the required solution based on requirements received from the product owner.
• Interview, and on-board contract software engineers alongside the front-end architect.
