The posting

Summary

Are you a mobile engineer who thrives on building exceptional user experiences, bringing a new product to life, and raising the technical bar for the team around you? As a Senior Mobile Engineer at Topstep, you'll play a foundational role in building our mobile trading platform with React Native and TypeScript. Mobile is new for Topstep, and the product is at an early MVP stage—an opportunity to shape both the trader experience and the engineering foundations behind it.

You'll help build out the MVP, establish reusable patterns and components, and own mobile features from design through iOS and Android release. The challenge is to turn high volumes of real-time trading data into a mobile experience that stays responsive, clear, and trustworthy as market activity and app usage grow. You'll work closely with product, design, backend engineers, and quality engineering, bringing mobile expertise into cross-functional feature teams as the product grows.

This role combines deep React Native expertise with a product mindset and pragmatic engineering judgment. You'll balance immediate delivery with a foundation other engineers can build on, mentor through reviews and pairing, and help define what mobile excellence looks like at Topstep.

Key Responsibilities

  • Help build out Topstep's mobile MVP in React Native and TypeScript, integrating with GraphQL APIs across our trader and trading experiences.
  • Establish mobile architecture patterns, reusable components, and engineering practices that other engineers and feature teams can adopt.
  • Own mobile features end-to-end, from technical design through App Store and Play Store releases, monitoring, and iteration.
  • Partner with product and design to translate trader needs into intuitive, accessible experiences that balance user experience with technical constraints and platform capabilities.
  • Design for high volumes of real-time updates while keeping screens responsive, information current, and user actions clear across devices and network conditions.
  • Build quality into the product from the start through testing, monitoring, performance optimization, and secure handling of trader information.
  • Bring mobile expertise into cross-functional feature teams as the product grows, helping teams deliver mobile features confidently.
  • Mentor engineers through reviews and pairing, sharing practical approaches to React Native development, architectural decisions, and production ownership.
  • Champion mobile-first thinking across the organization, helping backend and frontend partners understand mobile constraints and opportunities.
  • Support the mobile experience in production, investigate issues, and improve reliability. Participate in the team's agreed support or on-call responsibilities after onboarding.

Required Qualifications and Key Competencies

  • 5 + years of professional experience building and shipping production mobile applications, including several years of hands-on React Native development.
  • Deep React Native expertise and a strong TypeScript and modern JavaScript foundation, including navigation, state management, hooks, and component design.
  • Experience shipping applications to both iOS and Android, including platform-specific differences, mobile build and release pipelines, and app-store distribution.
  • Experience integrating GraphQL APIs, including client caching, mutations, and error handling.
  • Experience improving mobile performance and reliability through profiling, secure session handling, and debugging production issues.
  • A strong testing mindset with practical experience writing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests for mobile applications.
  • A track record of owning features end-to-end and helping other engineers through technical decisions, code reviews, reusable components, and mentoring.
  • Clear communication and pragmatic engineering judgment, including the ability to explain mobile constraints, build consensus, and balance long-term architecture with MVP delivery.

Preferred experience

  • Experience with real-time data integration using WebSockets or similar streaming connections.
  • Native iOS or Android development, including work at the React Native/native boundary.
  • Experience with complex mobile interfaces such as charts, animations, or gesture handling.
  • Familiarity with Expo or comparable React Native tooling.
  • Experience building trading, financial, or fintech products.

Company Culture & Perks

  • Topstep is an engaging working environment that ranges from fully remote to hybrid. We foster a culture of collaboration by keeping cameras on during meetings and maintaining a robust Slack environment for communication.
  • Seven Company-paid Holidays and generous Family Leave. Paid time off is front-loaded.

  • Vacations are encouraged with a bonus for taking 5 consecutive days. Topstep offers a food and groceries budget and contributes towards health and wellness.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
