Mobile Design Engineer

Build the Kraken mobile app with a focus on motion and interaction design using React Native. Own the feel of the app, evolve the design system, and optimize performance on mobile devices.

• Own the motion and interaction layer of the Kraken app (easing, springs, gestures, transitions, haptics, sound)
• Evolve the mobile design system (components, gesture handlers, transition primitives, motion tokens)
• Partner closely with product designers to elevate motion and interaction design
• Profile and optimise rendering performance, especially on lower-end Android devices
• Contribute to architectural decisions affecting UI responsiveness (state management, render cycles, data flow)
• Raise the bar for quality across the mobile org by review, example, and patterns

• A portfolio (demo reel, personal site, GitHub, etc.)
• Deep React Native fluency (Reanimated, gesture handlers, profiling)
• Taste in motion (easing curves, spring damping, transition feel)
• Product judgment (shape briefs, ship better than asked)
• AI tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude) as part of workflow
• Written and verbal English
• Nice to have: React Native Skia, shader work, custom canvas rendering
• Nice to have: Real native experience (Swift or Kotlin, bridge modules)
• Nice to have: A motion library/design-system contribution
• Nice to have: Visual or motion design background (Figma, After Effects)
• Nice to have: High-stakes product experience (fintech, trading, health)
