About Pave Bank

Pave Bank is the world’s first programmable business bank. Built by the founders behind Monzo and BigPay, we’re redefining global business banking by combining programmable financial infrastructure with world-class client experiences.

About the Role

We are looking for a highly experienced Mobile Engineer (React Native) to own the development of our cross-platform banking application end-to-end. You will have the autonomy to make key technical decisions, define best practices, and set the standard for frontend development, testing, and deployment.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on ownership, enjoys architecting products, and wants to make a lasting impact on both the product and engineering culture.

What You'll Do

• Architect and build a mobile banking application using React Native with TypeScript
• Deliver high‑quality, responsive, and performant UI/UX in collaboration with designers and product owners
• Integrate with backend services and third‑party APIs securely and reliably
• Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated builds, testing, and deployments
• Set standards for code quality, performance, security, and maintainability
• Define and execute a strong mobile testing strategy (unit, integration, and end‑to‑end tests)
• Champion code quality through clean code, reviews, documentation, and best practices
• Monitor, measure, and improve app performance, stability, and scalability
• Partner with cross‑functional teams (design, backend, QA, product) to ship features end‑to‑end
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve development processes and tools

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience building production-grade mobile applications from scratch

Expert in React Native + TypeScript, with deep frontend knowledge

Strong understanding of mobile performance, security, and UX best practices

Comfortable making technical decisions and driving standards

Experience setting up CI/CD pipelines and automated testing workflows

Independent, proactive, and able to thrive in a startup environment

Passionate about fintech, security, and building scalable products

Minimum 5 years of mobile development experience, ideally with full lifecycle experience from scratch to production

Experience as a founding or early mobile engineer at a fintech or high-growth startup is a strong plus

Familiarity with cross-platform challenges and optimizing for both iOS and Android

Why Us?

We recently raised $39 million in our Series A (led by Accel), positioning the company for major growth and giving you a rare chance to join while things are still moving fast

We're building a fully-licensed programmable bank, rearchitecting how money moves between businesses, across borders, and between traditional and digital finance

We ship fast, think deeply, and expect everyone to have high ownership
