Lead React Native Engineer

THE PLACE

ITRex - AI pioneers who build systems that actually work in the real world, not just in demos. We're 200+ people spread across the US and Europe, creating solutions for companies like P&G and Shutterstock. We keep it simple, build it right, and focus on what works.

THE PEOPLE

We're the kind of people who don't ignore messages in Slack, who jump in to help when you're stuck on a problem, and who offer solutions instead of blame when things go sideways. We believe in openness, accountability, and having each other's backs. No office politics, no hidden agendas - just people who care about doing good work together and supporting each other to get there.

Why people stay

First, the foundation:

• Remote flexibility: Work where and how you work best - we trust you to deliver
• Fair compensation: Competitive salary + benefits that matter (medical, wellness, learning)

Then, the growth:

• Ownership opportunities: See a problem worth solving? Own it. We back smart risks over bureaucratic safety
• AI enhancement: We leverage AI to make you faster and stronger - complementing your abilities, not replacing them
• Learning investment: English classes, professional development, well-being support
• Career progression: Real paths up, not just sideways shuffling

Finally, the people:

• Responsive teammates: No ignored Slacks, no "not my problem" attitudes
• Supportive culture: When you're stuck, people help. When things break, we fix them together
• Human connections: Regular meetups, tech talks, and actual relationships beyond work
