We are looking for an experienced Mobile Client Architect to lead the technical vision, architecture, and evolution of eToro Plus, our next-generation client application built in React Native. The architect will drive the migration of existing functionality from our Angular-based web application into a modern, unified mobile-first experience.

This role requires deep expertise in client architecture, performance optimization, code scalability, and maintainability, with strong cross-domain understanding of backend integration, API design, and system performance at scale.

• Define the end-to-end architecture for the new eToro Plus application using React Native, ensuring high performance, robustness, and long-term maintainability.
• Lead the migration of features from the existing Angular application to the new mobile platform.
• Establish architectural standards, design principles, component patterns, and quality and coding practices for the frontend R&D organization.
• Make strategic technology decisions regarding state management, navigation, networking, caching, offline support, monitoring, and security.
• Introduce and enforce scalable modular structures that support rapid feature development and easy refactoring.

Performance, Reliability & Maintainability

• Design for optimal startup time, rendering performance, memory usage, and UI responsiveness.
• Implement architecture that supports real-time updates, efficient data flows, and smooth user interactions.
• Ensure the app is easy to test, maintain, and extend, with reusable components and clear separation of concerns.
• Drive adoption of performance profiling tools, analytics, error monitoring, and instrumentation.

Collaboration & Cross-Functional Work

• Work closely with product managers, designers, and engineering leads to translate UX goals into scalable technical solutions.
• Collaborate with backend and platform teams to shape APIs, data contracts, and performance standards.
• Support engineering teams during design reviews, implementation, and troubleshooting.
• Mentor and guide developers, conduct architecture reviews, and elevate engineering practices across the team.

Standards, Tooling & Developer Experience

• Define CI/CD best practices for mobile releases, automated quality checks, and deployment pipelines.
• Evaluate and select libraries, frameworks, and internal tools to streamline development.
• Advocate for consistency, clean architecture, and long-term technical sustainability.

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 4+ years focused on React Native or mobile client architecture.
• Proven experience designing complex, high-performance mobile applications at scale.
• Strong understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems, React patterns, and mobile-specific performance considerations.
• Experience with state management tools (e.g., Redux, Zustand, Recoil, MobX) and mobile navigation frameworks.
• Solid grasp of backend concepts including REST APIs, authentication flows, caching, data modeling, and distributed system basics.
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines for mobile—including testing frameworks, OTA updates, and crash/error reporting tools.
• Strong analytical thinking, communication skills, and leadership ability.

Preferred Qualifications
