About the Role:

This role is within Borrowell's Frontend Platform team, focused on building the foundational components to support product teams. Unlike a typical product role, you won’t just be building features; you will be a force multiplier for the entire engineering organization. You will own the architecture of our universal codebase (Web + Mobile), maintain our Expo & Monorepo infrastructure, and design the tools that allow our product teams to iterate quickly and safely.

The role involves cross-functional collaboration with Product, Design, Engineering, Data and QA teams across the company. With an increasing percentage of our members preferring mobile to web, you will see how your efforts make an immediate, lasting impact on helping our members achieve financial stability.

In the first year, you can expect to:

1. Optimize our Monorepo setup to ensure seamless code sharing between React (Web) and React Native (Mobile), reducing duplication and friction.
2. Serve as a technical consultant to product teams, defining the "Golden Path" for new features and raising the bar on code quality.
3. Maintain and enhance the mobile application using React Native, ensuring reliability and release health
