Expo lets developers write React and JavaScript to create apps that work natively across the web, Android, and iOS. We're hiring a full-time engineer to work on Expo Application Services (EAS) and its underlying infrastructure.
Responsibilities
Working on the Expo services like EAS Build, EAS Submit, EAS Update, and more means you'll write code in TypeScript using technologies like React, Next.js, GraphQL, and Node. You'll think through the needs of the developers using Expo, and build elegant, reliable, sensible services that make their live and jobs easier. You'll make choices about what services we build and how they work so you'll need to have a good understanding of app developers, the Expo ecosystem, metrics, reliable systems, and developer products. You'll talk with developers about what is working for them and what isn't, and what they need and don't have yet that we could provide for them. You'll provide direction to and work with open source contributors from the Expo community.
Why Work at Expo
We do important work at Expo. Every day, millions of people use apps made with Expo — from COVID symptom trackers to food delivery apps to dating apps to Bitcoin wallets. Great organizations like Valve, Flexport, Brex, Blackline, Cameo, Pizza Hut, and the EPA trust Expo to help them build top-notch application software in record time. When we make improvements to the Expo libraries and tools, hundreds of thousands of developers benefit and build better software faster for millions of their users.
Everyone on the Expo team works on something important because we have a small team and we do a lot of things. We strive to create an environment where everyone is set up to do their best work. Each person on the team has a lot of flexibility and autonomy to work the way that works the best for them.
