## Job description

Join Our Team as a Senior React Native Engineer at Beyond Sports

Are you excited about mobile architecture, high-scale digital platforms, 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 driving technical quality, defining mobile architecture, and staying hands-on while delivering our next generation of cross-platform mobile applications, this could be your next move.

What Your Day Will Look Like

As a Senior React Native Engineer, you’ll sit at the center of mobile execution, system architecture, and technical quality.

Your role combines high-impact code contribution with technical guidance. You’ll champion engineering best practices while contributing directly to architecture, complex technical challenges, and critical delivery moments.

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

One day you might be diagnosing complex performance bottlenecks or streamlining deployment pipelines across iOS and Android ecosystems. The next, you could be designing native module integrations, refining state management strategies, or stepping into the codebase to unblock delivery.

You’ll work with technologies like React Native core, JavaScript/TypeScript (ES6+), state management tools (e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, React Query), and automated testing frameworks—always with a focus on scalability, reliability, and maintainability.

Because driving quality starts with technical credibility, you’ll stay hands-on at your core. A significant part of your time will involve active engineering: solving complex mobile issues, improving app architecture, and supporting delivery where it matters most.

Alongside this, you’ll help elevate peers, set code quality standards, and shape mobile development processes across the team.

## 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 combining technical guidance with hands-on mobile engineering
- Think in mobile architecture, performance, and long-term scalability
- Like solving complex React Native, native module, and UI performance challenges
- Take ownership and drive feature delivery forward
- Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Care about clean code, robust testing, and engineering best practices
- Enjoy mentoring others and elevating team capabilities

## Your Background

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

- Proven senior-level background taking ownership of complex features and delivering production-ready mobile apps
- Comprehensive hands-on experience with React Native, JavaScript/TypeScript (ES6+), and native module integration
- Proficiency with modern state management libraries (e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, React Query)
- Strong grasp of mobile UI design principles, performance optimization, and fluid user interactions
- Solid experience with automated testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, React Native Testing Library)
- Proven ability to diagnose complex technical issues and optimize app performance across iOS and Android ecosystems
- Excellent communication skills with a track record of guiding peers and working in cross-functional teams
- Willingness to work on-site in our Hungary office

## Nice to Have (But Not Required)

- Experience configuring CI/CD pipelines for iOS (App Store Connect) and Android (Google Play Console)
- Hands-on experience writing native code (Swift, Objective-C, Kotlin, or Java)
- Familiarity with real-time sports data streaming, 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
- Influence mobile technical strategy while remaining hands-on with engineering
- Work alongside talented engineers, architects, product leaders, and delivery specialists
- Drive meaningful improvements across platforms, architectures, and ways of working
- 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.
