React Native Engineer, Merchant Experience Mobile

Your opportunity: At Mollie, we’re on a mission to make payments and money management effortless for every business in Europe. We started 20 years ago when we launched a more direct, affordable way for companies to get paid. That provided an alternative to the frustrating, overpriced solutions that banks offered at the time. Today, we serve more than 250,000 businesses across Europe with an all-in-one solution that simplifies payments and money management. And we’re a 850-strong team of product, finance, support, commerce, and engineering specialists working across Europe – from Lisbon to London. The AppCore team sits at the heart of Mollie's Merchant Experience domain, owning the foundations that every other engineering team builds on — the mobile app, the web portal, and all the surfaces where merchants onboard, manage payments, and access Mollie's services. When AppCore works well, every team at Mollie moves faster. As a hands-on Engineering Manager, you'll lead a small but growing team of skilled engineers, defining and delivering the technical roadmap for our core application platform. You'll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, help shape the direction of our mobile and web foundations, and represent engineering in key technical discussions. Your work will directly influence how hundreds of engineers across Mollie build, test, and ship — making this a role with real visibility and long-term impact.   What you'll be doing: * Lead and grow a team of frontend and mobile engineers, bringing a hands-on leadership approach and staying close to the technical work * Drive the architectural direction of the mobile app and web portal, with a focus on scalability, long-term maintainability, and developer experience * Own and improve the app release process, accelerating release cadence and reducing friction across build, deployment, and release coordination * Champion engineering excellence across the platform — raising the bar for testing, automation, localisation quality, and code reliability * Foster a platform mindset within the team, ensuring reusable patterns, clean APIs, and well-documented tooling that enable engineers across all domains to contribute without needing deep mobile expertise * Collaborate with product and engineering teams across Mollie, acting as a platform partner and representing AppCore in cross-domain technical initiatives * Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies within the team and across workflows, proposing and coordinating actionable improvements to velocity and effectiveness * Mentor and develop engineers, creating an environment where craft, ownership, and continuous growth are valued   What you have: * Management Experience: 2+ years of managing engineering teams, with a proven ability to recruit, retain, and grow top engineering talent in a fast-moving environment * Frontend & Mobile Expertise: Significant hands-on experience with React Native and/or React, with a genuine, deep understanding of JavaScript fundamentals — not just surface familiarity with the frameworks * Platform Thinking: A track record of building or maintaining products at medium to large scale, where code quality, reliability, developer experience, and performance genuinely matter * CI/CD & Release Ownership: Practical experience with CI/CD pipelines and app release processes, including how builds, deployments, and release coordination work in practice * Leadership Skills: Demonstrated ability to lead, coach, and mentor engineering teams. Excellent communication, interpersonal, and collaboration skills — comfortable working across multiple teams and stakeholders * Product Sense: A strong understanding of product development principles and a customer-centric approach, with the ability to balance platform needs against product team priorities * Bias Towards Action: Comfortable making decisions with imperfect information, balancing speed and quality, and learning quickly from outcomes * Always Be Shipping Mindset: Consistently delivering value to customers, where speed and quality go hand in hand   *Kindly note relocation support is not offered for this position unfortunately.
