React Native Mobile Developer – 6-Month Contract

We believe talent deserves a human touch. Your application will be read by an actual person who's excited to discover the real you.

At ActiveCo, a New Charter Company, we're hiring a React Native Mobile Developer (also known as a React Native Developer, Mobile Application Developer, or Cross-Platform Mobile Engineer) to help build and scale a production-grade mobile application used daily by a distributed, field-based workforce operating in real-world conditions with variable connectivity and real-time demands.

In this role, you'll design and enhance cross-platform React Native features across iOS and Android, including navigation architecture, component structure, state management, and code organization. You'll implement offline-first functionality (local storage and sync logic), develop background location tracking and geofencing features, collaborate with a Laravel API team to integrate optimized REST endpoints, and support build, testing, and release processes for the App Store and Google Play.

We're seeking a developer with 2–5 years of professional experience and at least one shipped mobile application (React Native preferred). You should have strong JavaScript/TypeScript skills, experience integrating REST APIs, familiarity with mobile state management and local storage, and the ability to troubleshoot platform-specific issues. Experience with background execution constraints, mobile permissions, CI/CD workflows, and basic native debugging (Swift, Kotlin, or Java) is highly valuable. Strong problem-solving skills, ownership mindset, and clear technical communication are essential.

• Building and enhancing React Native features for iOS and Android platforms
• Designing navigation structures, component architecture, and state management implementations
• Implementing offline-first functionality with reliable sync and reconciliation logic
• Developing and refining background location tracking and geofencing features
• Integrating secure authentication flows and responsible data handling practices
• Collaborating with backend developers to consume and optimize RESTful APIs
• Supporting mobile build processes, testing workflows, and production releases
• Writing clean, maintainable, and production-ready code

• 2–5 years of professional software development experience
• Experience building and shipping at least one mobile application
• Strong React Native development experience
• Solid JavaScript or TypeScript skills
• Experience integrating RESTful APIs
• Familiarity with mobile state management and local storage strategies
• Experience with background geolocation and offline-first patterns
• CI/CD familiarity for mobile applications
• Basic native debugging experience in Swift, Kotlin, or Java

Compensation is expected start between CAD $31–$39 per hour, based on experience and capability (Equivalent to approximately $65,000–$80,000 annualized). Our offer will be determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may vary from the amount listed above.

This is a full-time, fixed-term employee position for an initial 6-month term and is not an independent contractor role. The role is aligned to a confirmed project scope for the initial delivery period. Employment will end at the conclusion of the term unless extended in writing. There is no guarantee of extension or permanent employment; however, extension or transition to a permanent full-time role may be considered based on performance and business needs.

Candidates must reside in Canada. Applicants in the Greater Vancouver area are strongly encouraged to apply to support collaboration and occasional in-person sessions.
