We’ve also been recognised as a Top DACH Employer by Kununu for three consecutive years.
Our mission is to make sustainable consumption the easy choice by enabling customers to buy products up to 40% cheaper while significantly reducing CO₂ emissions.
If you thrive in an environment that values momentum, ownership, and impact, you’ll feel at home here. We’re a fast-paced, high-performance team that works hard and challenges itself everyday. To enable this high-performance every team member enjoys full autonomy over their location (we’re remote-first).
We are seeking an experienced Senior Mobile App Engineer (f/m/x) to join our Trade-in Squad and take ownership of the mobile experience that enables customers to sell their devices back to refurbed. In this role, you will design and implement scalable, high-quality features in our React Native / Expo app, collaborating closely with backend engineers, product managers, designers, analysts, and external partners to deliver seamless, reliable, and high-performing Trade-in journeys.

WHO YOU ARE- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 3+ years in React Native / Expo
- Strong expertise in TypeScript, React Native, and modern mobile architecture patterns (navigation, modularization, OTA updates)
- Experience designing and implementing large features and fixing complex bugs in production apps
- Proven experience leading the development of complex features within a squad, handling external dependencies (backend, vendors) and coordinating work with other engineers
- Comfortable owning operations and monitoring for your area (crash reporting, performance, analytics, alerts)
- Pragmatic: you can weigh short-term vs long-term trade-offs and choose solutions that fit the existing stack and business needs
- Familiar with most parts of a modern product stack and how mobile interacts with backend, data, and experimentation systems
- Able to communicate clearly in English and work effectively with product managers, designers, and other stakeholders
- Experience with camera / media / scanning / voice features
- Background in e-commerce / marketplace products
- Hands-on experience with feature flags, experimentation, and analytics on mobile

WHAT YOU'LL DOYou will join the Trade-in squad and own the mobile experience that lets customers sell their devices back to refurbed.
- Design and implement end-to-end Trade-in features in our React Native / Expo app (from API integration to UX polish)
- Lead the development of complex Trade-in features, coordinating with backend engineers, designers, analysts, and external trade-in partners
- Own the operational health of Trade-in flows: monitoring crash rates, performance, and key product metrics; follow up on incidents
- Ensure Trade-in code has clear boundaries between UI, state management, and integration modules (analytics, feature flags, remote config, SDKs)
- Integrate and evolve native SDKs (e.g. analytics, experimentation, trade-in vendor SDKs, payments) behind clean, testable abstractions
- Contribute to the mobile architecture in your area (navigation structure, module boundaries, shared components), and provide input to broader app decisions
- Continuously improve engineering practices in the squad: testing strategy, code quality, CI/CD, release hygiene
