Senior React Native Engineer

About Wishlink

Wishlink is on a mission to revolutionize the creator economy and redefine how people shop. We're all about providing every user with a highly personalized shopping experience guided by creators, so they can find exactly what they want, in a very short time, while improving their online shopping experience severalfold. We are shaping a new era at the intersection of two of the most prominent aspects of the internet- e-commerce and social media.

Team and Investors

We’re 3 founders, Chandan, Shaurya, and Divyansh, with a shared passion to solve real-world problems at scale and consume content for hours (XD). We started Wishlink in January 2022 when we discovered products on social media that we wanted to buy but could not (in some cases, actually did)! We are based out of Gurugram. We have recently raised a series B round of $17.5M backed by leading global investors including Vertex Ventures SE Asia & India, Fundamentum, and Elevation Capital.

Why Join Us?

Exciting Problem

The way people shop online is changing. Users are tired of spending hours browsing humongous catalogs on eCommerce marketplaces just to find a single piece of apparel they like. They need curation, and they need trusted reviews - which is what Wishlink is bringing with the help of content creators. Wishlink is at the forefront of this change, enabling users to shop in an easier and more exciting way.

Immense Scale

In just 3 years of existence, Wishlink is used by over 900k users daily to discover and shop products online. This number has grown over 3x in the last 4 months.

Stellar Team

Wishlink is all about its people. Our business and engineering teams are young and energetic, come from stellar backgrounds, and are dedicated towards a common goal. Also, we have a LOT of fun!

Growth Opportunity

We have grown remarkably in the last 4 months and are doing a monthly GMV of over Rs. 150cr. We are working with over 10,000 content creators and 250+ brands and eCommerce marketplaces including Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio, H&M, Savana (Urbanic), Only, Vero Moda, Libas, Aurelia, Mama Earth, and many more.

Wishlink presents an exciting opportunity for you to contribute to and grow within the creator-enabled eCommerce space, have the chance to work at an emerging consumer-tech startup and be an integral part of this dynamic journey.

What would you be doing?

• Work across Wishlink's consumer-facing products: the React Native shopping app, the creator app, and internal web dashboards. This is a hands-on engineering role where you will actively build and write production code, not just manage or delegate.

• Build and optimize video-heavy, reels-style UIs with smooth gesture-driven interactions, HLS playback, and the kind of performance that feels native.
• Drive frontend architecture and developer experience across the team: establish patterns around state management, navigation, and API integrations, build shared components and libraries, and make it easier and faster for engineers to ship reliable features.
• Tackle cross-platform challenges across iOS and Android, from debugging native modules in Kotlin and Swift to managing platform-specific build pipelines with Gradle, Xcode, and EAS Build.
• Own the release pipeline end-to-end: EAS builds, OTA updates, GitHub Actions CI, and the Play Store and App Store release workflows. Make deployments boring and reliable.
• Raise the engineering bar through thoughtful code reviews, mentorship of junior engineers, and setting standards for code quality, testing, and performance.
• Navigate our current stack: React Native (Hermes, New Architecture, Reanimated), Expo + EAS, TypeScript, React Query, Firebase, and Sentry.
  
  

What are we looking for?

• If you are a content creator yourself or have worked closely in the social media space, we like you already :)
• 6+ years of software engineering experience building production React Native apps shipped to both Play Store and App Store. You identify as a strong engineer first, someone who can reason about systems, not just operate frameworks.
• Deep knowledge of the React Native New Architecture, JSI, and Reanimated worklets. Hands-on experience with Expo SDK, EAS Build, and OTA updates, not just managed Expo, but the full prebuild-to-production pipeline.
• Proven experience profiling and optimizing React Native apps: FlatList virtualization, re-render reduction, Hermes profiling, startup TTI. You care about platform-level metrics like app launch time, asset size, frozen frames, and crash rates, and you know how to move them.
• Comfortable writing and debugging native code in Kotlin (Android) and Swift/Obj-C (iOS) when the JavaScript layer isn't enough. You can navigate Gradle builds and CocoaPods without flinching.
• Track record of elevating team practices through code reviews, architecture discussions, and guiding engineers on scalable design without needing formal authority.
• You can articulate technical trade-offs to engineers, product managers, and designers alike, and drive alignment in ambiguous problem spaces.
