Senior/Staff Mobile Design Engineer (React Native)
Who we are
PVP/Hyperdash is building the next generation of DeFi trading powered by Hyperliquid. Our mission is to democratize access to global financial markets across crypto, equities, commodities, and more by leveraging decentralized technologies.
We are the largest builder-code product on Hyperliquid. To date, we have processed over $65B in cumulative trading volume, generated eight figures in revenue in the past year, and grown to more than 400,000 registered traders.
We are a small, highly technical team of strong individual contributors who care deeply about free markets and building ambitious systems from the ground up. We value autonomy, ownership, and rapid execution. Our culture is low-process, high-trust, and results-driven. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguous, 0-to-1 environments and wants to be directly responsible for shipping products used by millions of traders.
You will be on the front lines of scaling PVP to millions of users, building trading interfaces that move billions of dollars in volume every day while still feeling fast, intuitive, and delightful.
Why work with us
PVP is leading the charge to bring on-chain perpetuals trading to the mainstream. On-chain, 24/7 perpetuals trading is one of the most important financial innovations of recent decades. We believe the opportunity to bring this to the masses rivals the scale of modern retail brokerages and global exchanges.
The path to building a generational company is clear, and we are committed to delivering the best trading experiences imaginable. You will work alongside people who care deeply about craft, move quickly, and hold a very high bar for both technical excellence and product quality.
Why this role matters
Mobile is the most personal and emotionally resonant surface of our product. It is where traders feel confidence, urgency, momentum, and flow. Every interaction, animation, and gesture shapes how users trust the platform with real capital.
React Native can deliver experiences that feel indistinguishable from fully native apps when designed with care. Performance is foundational, but craftsmanship is what turns raw speed into something users love. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, design, and product, shaping how real-time markets feel in the palm of someone’s hand.
You will own the mobile experience that enables fast decision-making, social competition, and real-time coordination, while setting the bar for polish, usability, and expressive motion across the app.
What you’ll do
Set technical and experiential direction for PVP’s mobile platform, balancing performance, architecture, and product quality
Build elegant, high-performance React Native interfaces for real-time trading, analytics, and social features
Craft delightful interactions including fluid animations, expressive gestures, tactile feedback, and carefully tuned transitions

Bridge native modules when needed to unlock advanced animations, platform capabilities, or UI primitives not achievable in JavaScript alone
Collaborate with backend engineers on APIs and data flows that support responsive, bandwidth-efficient mobile experiences
Continuously raise the quality bar by identifying and fixing performance issues, UI jank, visual inconsistencies, and interaction rough edges
Ship production-ready features with strong observability, participating in monitoring, debugging, and iterative refinement post-launch
What you’ll bring
5+ years building and shipping production React Native applications using TypeScript
Strong design and product sensibility, with a demonstrated ability to turn design intent into polished, expressive mobile experiences

Experience building reusable component and animation systems that scale across large codebases and multiple feature teams
Solid understanding of real-time data patterns on mobile, including WebSockets, incremental updates, batching, and reconnection strategies
Familiarity with performance profiling and iteration using tools like Flipper, Xcode Instruments, and Android Studio, with a practical, product-driven mindset
Experience owning mobile features end-to-end, from concept and prototyping through App Store and Play Store release
A bias toward craftsmanship, thoughtful iteration, and shipping improvements that users can feel, not just measure
Bonus points
Native mobile experience on iOS using Swift or SwiftUI, or Android using Kotlin
Background building highly interactive consumer products such as trading apps, creative tools, games, or social platforms
Experience designing motion systems or animation languages that scale across an app
Contributions to the React Native ecosystem or open-source libraries
