React Native Development Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

inKind is seeking a Senior React Native Engineer to join one of our cross-functional product pods focused on building intelligent, AI-powered consumer and restaurant experiences.

This is not a traditional mobile engineering role. We are looking for a highly adaptable product engineer who thrives in a fast-moving environment, leverages AI tooling daily, and enjoys owning meaningful product outcomes from concept to production.

You will operate inside a small, autonomous pod structure alongside product managers, designers, backend engineers, data/AI engineers, and QA partners. Each pod is responsible for rapidly shipping and iterating on customer-facing features, internal operational tools, and AI-enabled experiences that power the future of the restaurant ecosystem.

You'll play a key role in scaling our React Native platform while helping integrate modern AI workflows, LLM-powered product experiences, and AI-assisted engineering practices across the organization.
Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain high-quality React Native applications for iOS and Android
• Build performant, scalable, and maintainable mobile experiences
• Collaborate closely with your pod to rapidly prototype and ship new features
• Partner with product and design teams to translate business goals into elegant technical solutions

• Build mobile interfaces and workflows that integrate AI-powered capabilities and LLM-driven experiences
• Collaborate with backend and AI engineering teams to support recommendation systems, conversational experiences, personalization, and intelligent automation
• Integrate with modern AI infrastructure and APIs where appropriate
• Help define best practices for AI-native mobile product experiences

• Leverage AI coding agents and modern developer tooling to accelerate engineering velocity
• Evaluate and improve workflows using AI-assisted development practices
• Maintain strong engineering judgment while validating AI-generated code and architectural suggestions
• Contribute to engineering efficiency through automation and tooling improvements

• Optimize rendering, state management, app startup time, memory usage, and overall mobile performance
• Work across React Native and native platform integrations when necessary
• Improve application observability, reliability, and scalability
• Help shape frontend architecture and technical direction across pods

• Write clean, testable, well-documented Typescript code
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and engineering planning
• Build and maintain automated tests and CI/CD workflows
• Share knowledge and mentor other engineers across the organization
• Contribute to a strong engineering culture focused on ownership, speed, and continuous improvement

• 5+ years of professional experience building React Native applications
• Strong expertise with Typescript and modern React architecture
• Experience working in fast-paced startup or product-led engineering environments
• Strong understanding of mobile application performance optimization
• Experience integrating REST APIs and third-party services
• Strong understanding of complex state management patterns (Redux, Zustand, React Query, Context, etc.)
• Experience working with agents, LLM tooling, or AI-assisted development workflows
• Ability to move quickly through large codebases and ambiguous technical challenges
• Strong debugging and systems-thinking capabilities
• Product-minded engineering approach with strong ownership mentality

• Experience building AI-powered product features or integrating LLM APIs
• Familiarity with vector search, recommendation systems, RAG architectures, or conversational interfaces
• Experience with React.js web applications
• Experience with native mobile development (Swift, Kotlin, Java, Objective-C, C++)
• Experience designing scalable frontend/mobile architecture
