Company Introduction

Insurance. Personalized. Car insurance only based on how you drive.

We believe in a world where nobody is treated differently because of who they are. That’s why we created Allegory.

Allegory is the world’s first insurance company to provide you with a car insurance rate purely based on your driving by using AI and machine vision. We are building technology that better understands the real risk of our customers to offer the lowest and the most accurate rates possible.

Job Description

We are looking for a React Native developer interested in building performant mobile apps on both the iOS and Android platforms. You will be responsible for architecting and building these applications, as well as coordinating with the teams responsible for other layers of the product infrastructure. Building a product is a highly collaborative effort, and as such, a strong team player with a commitment to perfection is required.

Responsibilities

Build pixel-perfect, buttery smooth UIs across both mobile platforms.
Leverage native APIs for deep integrations with both platforms.
Diagnose and fix bugs and performance bottlenecks for performance that feels native.
Reach out to the open source community to encourage and help implement mission-critical software fixes—React Native moves fast and often breaks things.
Maintain code and write automated tests to ensure the product is of the highest quality.
Transition existing React web apps to React Native.

Skills

Firm grasp of JavaScript, TypeScript, and/or ClojureScript language and its nuances, including ES6+ syntax
Knowledge of functional or object-oriented programming
Ability to write well-documented, clean Javascript code
Rock solid at working with third-party dependencies and debugging dependency conflicts
Familiarity with native build tools, like XCode, Gradle (Android Studio, IntelliJ)
Understanding of REST APIs, the document request model, and offline storage
Experience with automated testing suites, like Jest or Mocha
