Senior Software Engineer, React Native, at Fanalysis - powered by passion

We’re building the go-to app for real football fans - a central home where trusted and passionate supporters can share their voices, insights, and emotions with clarity, cutting through punditry and the noise of fragmented social media

Founded by Michael McIntyre and Gary Neville, we’re already partnering with Sky Sports to amplify the perspectives of those who live and breathe the game, bringing authentic fan opinion to millions of viewers.

Having closed our seed round with personal backing from some of the world’s most exceptional venture investors, we’re now focused on building the team, app, and data platform that will power Fanalysis.

This is a thrilling opportunity to join our founding team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of fan-powered football media.

The role

As a Senior Software Engineer specializing in React Native (Expo) at Fanalysis, you'll be at the heart of building our mobile application that connects passionate football fans worldwide. You'll work directly with the founding team to architect, develop, and optimize our fan-focused platform from the ground up.

Responsibilities

  • Guiding the team on the direction of the development of the front end application, ensuring exceptional user experience and performance.
  • Knowing when to adopt existing tools versus creating custom solutions.
  • Collaborating with designers to translate wireframes and mockups into responsive, intuitive interfaces.
  • Taking a holistic approach to development, considering user flows, potential edge cases, and opportunities for exceptional user experiences.
  • Working closely with backend engineers to integrate APIs and services.
  • Working with product owners to ensure the overall vision is reflected in the backlog.
  • Ensuring regular security patches and updates are applied; and performance is considered in every sprint.
  • Helping the team to standardise coding standards; libraries; tools and approaches.
  • Staying current with mobile development trends and suggesting innovative features that enhance fan engagement.
  • Contributing to product strategy discussions, bringing your technical expertise to help shape our roadmap.

About You

  • 3 years of experience as a commercial React Native (Expo) and JavaScript developer with apps deployed on the App Store/Google Play.
  • A further 3 years of experience as a mobile or web developer using other technologies such as Kotlin, Swift or React.
  • You’re an enthusiastic and positive individual and a great communicator.
  • You have strong opinions, speak freely about your ideas, give and take feedback and embrace failure.
  • You’ve owned the end-to-end process of building, testing, and deploying React Native applications through structured development and release cycles.
  • Proven experience with building applications with rich animation such as Lottie animations, Reanimated and/or Moti.
  • Experience with TypeScript or another strongly typed JavaScript language like FlowType.
  • Experience with state management tools like Zustand or similar.
  • Experience with UI end to end testing with tools like Maestro.
  • Demonstrable understanding of WCAG 2.0 AA compliance and WAI-ARIA.
  • Passion for football is a plus but not required — your technical expertise comes first.

This is a full-time role based in London. Our office is in Soho and we believe in the benefits of working together, so ideally you’d be able to join us in the office at least 3 days a week.
