Senior React Native Engineer - Consumer

At Picnic, we’re revolutionizing the way people buy groceries with our affordable and sustainable app-only service. We do almost everything in-house, developing cutting-edge technologies and processes to ensure we continue to grow rapidly without missing a beat. If you’re a passionate React Native engineer, we’re offering you the opportunity to join the diverse team at our Amsterdam HQ and make a real difference in our scaleup environment.

🥜 In a nutshell

At Picnic, we use React and React Native alongside each other to provide an innovative service to our colleagues. Our goal is to build a platform that streamlines operations and enhances the user experience for both employees and managers. Our product suite includes React Native mobile apps and React web-based admin consoles, delivering comprehensive tools for managing schedules, tasks, and internal communication.

Why use React Native? To put it simply, using cross-platform technologies enables us to deliver more value to our colleagues, so it’s a no-brainer for us. React Native’s opt-out flexibility offers a seamless escape hatch to Native when needed, allowing us to leverage the best of both worlds.

Why use React? Using a similar technology to the counterpart mobile application, it is easier to ensure a standard across code bases and facilitate the development of both.

And don’t worry, we love type-safety, so all our React and React Native code is written in TypeScript.

We’re creating tools that empower our workforce and transform the way our company operates. If you're excited about making an impact and eager to work with a talented team, we'd love to hear from you!
