Senior Mobile (React Native) Developer

As a Developer at Headway, you are client and user-focused while executing on the details of each project. You diligently develop features and functionality, guided by Headway's process to ensure each release is successful. This role requires constant learning and a growth mindset.

When communicating with clients during sprint planning, retros, and release demos, you help monitor features as project requirements change, and direct emergent requirement discussions back to the core focus of a minimum viable product (MVP). In doing so, you help manage client expectations and project scope, ensuring we build the most valuable features first.

1. Practicing "craft within context" and working with crewmates to receive advice and guidance to grow your knowledge.
2. Driving all development from the outside-in with user story mapping and MoSCoW prioritization.
3. Assisting with development critiques and QA.
4. Performing pull request (PR) reviews.
5. Participating in pairing sessions to help crewmates learn and grow.
6. Performing QA of both internal code quality and external end-user UI/UX.
