Your role as Senior Software Developer, Front-End
The Senior Software Developer, Front-End (React Native) joins a dedicated team that translates requirements from a large partner into capabilities built directly into the Dialogue platform. The guiding principle is one codebase: every feature driven by this partnership, whether it touches the embedded mobile experience, member eligibility flows, or in-app healthcare journeys, ships as part of Dialogue’s core product so it can be maintained, extended, and offered to all current and future clients.
You will work primarily in the member-app repository, a React Native application (iOS, Android, and web) built with Expo and the Hermes JavaScript engine. A key part of your scope is the Brownfield SDK, a novel mechanism that packages the Dialogue app as a native library (XCFramework on iOS, AAR on Android) so it can be embedded inside the partner’s existing native apps (Android and iOS). You will collaborate daily with a multi-disciplinary team including a full stack developer, backend developer, DevSecOps, QA, product manager, designer and the partner’s technical teams.
What you'll be doing
-
You will own front-end deliverables across the full development lifecycle, from design collaboration through implementation, testing, and release. The mandate spans new feature development, maintenance of the embedded module as well as codebase health. Day-to-day you will:
-
Develop and maintain the React Native application (member-app) that serves as both the standalone Dialogue member app and the source for the SDK module. The codebase uses TypeScript (with an ongoing migration from JavaScript), Redux with Sagas for state management, and Expo for the build and development toolchain.
-
Build and evolve the Brownfield SDK module integration layer, including a fully typed TypeScript contract that governs all communication across the JavaScript/native boundary.
-
Contribute to the component library and design system. The team maintains a custom component library with a Figma-based design system, and is working toward Storybook adoption. You will build reusable, accessible components, the codebase has active WCAG compliance work, including aria-label improvements and component sizing fixes.
-
Maintain and improve the test apps (iOS: SwiftUI + UIKit hybrid; Android: Kotlin + Jetpack Compose) that simulate the partner’s host app for local development and CI validation. These apps test the full SDK integration lifecycle.
-
Write and maintain unit and integration tests. You will help audit and modernize the test suite for compatibility with current React and React Native versions, reduce redundant coverage, and strengthen tests on high-impact, reusable components.
-
Deliver new platform features driven by partner requirements, such as improved pharmacy experiences, account-linking flows, and in-app healthcare journeys, while ensuring these features are designed generically enough to become part of Dialogue’s standard offering for all clients.
-
Participate in technical design and code review. Write and review technical design documents to align the team on clear solutions. Contribute to the ongoing TypeScript migration and codebase remediation efforts to reduce complexity and improve consistency across the app.
We'd love to hear from you if you have
-
Have 5 or more years of professional experience building mobile applications, ideally with React Native, including shipping to both iOS and Android app stores, as well as web.
-
Are proficient in TypeScript and modern React patterns (hooks, functional components, context). The codebase is actively migrating from JavaScript to TypeScript, and the Brownfield bridge contract is fully typed.
-
Have experience with Redux and middleware patterns (Sagas or Thunks) for state management in complex mobile applications.
-
Have worked with Expo and understand the React Native build toolchain, including Hermes, Metro bundler, and native module integration.
-
Are comfortable reading and contributing to native iOS (Swift/Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin/Java) code, particularly around SDK lifecycle management, push notification registration, and deeplink handling.
-
Have a track record of architecting, organizing, and shipping significant software initiatives. You break down work into incremental changes and consistently deliver value.
-
Communicate clearly and effectively with technical and non-technical colleagues.
-
Experience with feature flag systems (LaunchDarkly), and content management systems is an asset.
-
Experience with brownfield or embedded app patterns, packaging a React Native application as a native library (XCFramework, AAR) for integration into an existing native app is a strong asset.
Dialogue is building a permanent, dedicated team to deliver on the priorities of a large partner, but with a deliberate architectural philosophy: every capability this team builds ships as part of the Dialogue platform. The application you work on is both the standalone Dialogue member app and the source for the embedded SDK that millions of users interact with inside their partner app. Your work on the front end directly shapes the healthcare experience for those users, while simultaneously strengthening Dialogue’s core product for all current and future clients. This is foundational work at the intersection of mobile engineering, partnership delivery, and platform building.
