Senior React Native Consultant - Remote in Edinburgh

Join a team of consultants partnering with clients to build higher-quality products that make positive contributions to the world, while continuously learning and improving the way people work as a remote Senior React Native Developer. We’re growing and looking for an experienced technical leader with significant React Native experience to join our consulting team.

You’ll primarily work directly with clients on projects as a Senior React Native Consultant, leading by example with your communication and advocating for how we work as consultants, especially in difficult situations. In addition to building React Native applications, you will manage projects to ensure successful delivery. You’ll partner closely with product managers, designers, developers, and clients to help solve problems.

You’ll deliver high-quality, well-tested software, mentor both client and thoughtbot engineering teams in software best practices, and advise on product prioritization, agile process, team culture, and communication. You’ll help contribute to our growing expertise in using AI to help solve real-world client needs.

This is a fully remote position on our EMEA team. We focus on embedding with technical teams to address technical debt, implementing process improvements, mentoring and upskilling client teams, as well as creating great early stage products with founders.

We will begin reviewing applications no sooner than 28 January 2026.

Locations & Compensation: This is a fully remote position and is open to applicants currently living in and authorized to work in the following locations: Ireland, Nigeria, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and United Kingdom. Salary and benefits vary by location. We publish all our salary ranges in our compensation calculator. New team members typically have a starting salary between the start and the middle of the band.

About thoughtbot: We believe that it is possible to continuously learn and improve the way people work while building higher-quality products that make positive contributions to the world. We work with companies in every step of the product development and maintenance process to help identify and solve problems. We lead and participate in product design sprints, build high-quality apps, and then deploy them.

We proactively work on improving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at thoughtbot. We aim to maintain an inclusive work environment where everyone can thrive professionally, as well as have full lives outside of work. We acknowledge that DEI work is never done, and that we will make mistakes along the way. We are continuously working on learning, improving ourselves, and the company.

As a member of thoughtbot, you’ll be part of our distributed remote community. We’re continuously working to assure remote work is inclusive, collaborative, comfortable, and social.

thoughtbot mobile developers are able to build and ship high-quality applications. We are looking for candidates with excellent knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript, and building cross-platform mobile applications with React Native. While React Native is a must, additional experience or interest in native mobile development, such as iOS with Swift or Android with Kotlin, web development, especially with Ruby on Rails, or other languages is a big plus.

As consultants, we work closely with our clients. Experience with a client-facing role like consulting, teaching, or business development is also valuable, but not required. Very well-qualified candidates will also have experience with consulting and have a proven track record of attracting potential customers.

Well-qualified candidates value diversity, equity, and inclusion, and contributing to an inclusive working and learning environment. We especially appreciate candidates that demonstrate commitment to valuing DEI and contributing to an inclusive working and learning environment. We also understand that not everyone has had the opportunity to commit to this work, and that’s okay.

We encourage you to apply even if you don’t match 100% of the requirements. Let us know if you need any specific accommodations during the interview process. thoughtbot cannot sponsor work visas at this time.

Benefits vary by location, but all team members accrue at least 20 paid annual leave/vacation days per year and receive paid holidays and paid sick days. thoughtbot ensures at least 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave for birthing parents, and at least 6 weeks of fully paid parental leave for non-birthing parents. All new parents have the ability to take up to at least 6 months off by combining different types of leaves. In addition to country-specific benefits, all team members receive a monthly remote work stipend to offset the cost of internet, electricity, etc., and a remote workspace budget to setup their workspace.

Our team works in a relaxed and educational environment to develop excellent products for our clients. We work a sustainable pace of 40 hours/week. We also reserve at least 4 weeks per year for investing in ourselves, the company, and our community. Everything we do is predicated on having a great team and a culture of growing. We use the latest technologies and are always down to try new methods on both internal and client projects.
