## Job description

Join Our Team as a Mid-Level React Native Engineer at Beyond Sports

Are you excited about mobile development, real-time interactive apps, and building the applications behind the future of sports entertainment?

At Beyond Sports, we don’t just visualize sports, we reinvent how fans experience them. Together with partners like NFL, NHL, FIFA, and Disney, we push the boundaries of real-time sports data, 3D graphics, and AI-driven storytelling across global mobile platforms.

If you’re passionate about delivering clean React Native code, crafting fluid mobile UIs, and growing your technical skills on high-scale cross-platform applications, this could be your next move.

What Your Day Will Look Like

As a Mid-Level React Native Engineer, you’ll play a core role in developing key mobile features, optimizing UI performance, and maintaining app stability.

Your role focuses on delivering high-quality production code while actively contributing to feature planning and engineering discussions. You’ll work alongside senior engineers, learning best practices and expanding your architecture skills while taking clear ownership of your deliverables.

You’ll collaborate closely with Product Management, UX/UI designers, and backend teams to shape and deliver engaging mobile experiences for our global fan base.

One day you might be building interactive UI components or integrating backend APIs and state management flows. The next, you could be profiling app performance, fixing edge-case bugs across iOS and Android, or writing automated tests for new features.

You’ll work with technologies like React Native core, JavaScript/TypeScript (ES6+), modern state management tools (e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, React Query), and automated testing frameworks, always with a focus on code quality, responsiveness, and clean implementation.

Alongside active feature development, you’ll participate in code reviews, share ideas, and contribute to continuous improvements across our mobile apps.

## What We Value

At Beyond Sports, we move fast, collaborate closely, and build things that haven’t existed before.

You’ll fit right in if you:

- Enjoy building responsive, user-friendly mobile interfaces
- Write clean, maintainable code with strong attention to detail
- Like solving tricky mobile, state management, and layout challenges
- Take ownership of your tasks and reliably deliver features end-to-end
- Communicate clearly and thrive in a collaborative team environment
- Eagerly seek feedback, continuously learn, and expand your technical skill set

## Your Background

You don’t need to tick every box, but we’re generally looking for:

- Solid commercial experience building and shipping production-ready mobile apps with React Native
- Strong hands-on proficiency with JavaScript/TypeScript (ES6+) and React Native fundamentals
- Good understanding of modern state management patterns (e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, React Query)
- Solid grasp of mobile UI/UX principles, component architecture, and layout performance
- Experience writing unit and integration tests (e.g., Jest, React Native Testing Library)
- Familiarity with debugging tools and resolving platform-specific issues across iOS and Android
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-first mindset
- Willingness to work on-site in our Hungary office

## Nice to Have (But Not Required)

- Experience working with native module bridging (Swift, Kotlin, Objective-C, or Java)
- Familiarity with mobile CI/CD workflows and app store publishing processes
- Exposure to real-time data integration, WebSocket connections, or 3D graphics rendering

Why Level Up Your Career at Beyond Sports

- Help shape technology used by millions of sports fans around the world
- Work with some of the biggest names in global sport, media, and entertainment
- Join a Sony company at the forefront of sports technology innovation
- Accelerate your career growth under the mentorship of talented senior engineers
- Work alongside cross-functional teams of engineers, architects, designers, and product managers
- Join a culture that values ownership, collaboration, learning, and continuous improvement

Hungary Benefits

- Annual Leave: Standard according to local labour law.
- Sony Group Company Discounts.
- Other Benefits: Cafeteria options (SZÉP Card, Nursery & Kindergarten contributions, Annual MOL Bubi Pass), Private Medical Insurance, Life & Accident Insurance, MindentMent Dental Clinic discounts, Seniority Awards, and an Employee Assistance Program.
