GDX Development supports clients facing high-paced national security challenges by building modern software that fuses sensor, system, and team data into an Adaptive Mission Surface for tactical-edge operations. The Mobile Application Developer will develop and maintain React Native mobile applications, implement geospatial and systems-integration capabilities, and collaborate with product and engineering teams to deliver reliable, intuitive experiences for mission-critical users.
Responsibilities
- Mobile feature delivery: Translate approved requirements into well-scoped mobile features, including technical approach, implementation, testing, release readiness, and iteration based on user feedback
- React Native application development: Build and maintain production-quality code, reusable components, navigation flows, state management, and mobile-specific behaviors that are clean, maintainable, and performant
- User experience consistency: Establish and improve consistent visual, interaction, and usability patterns across GDX’s mobile experience while contributing to shared UI/UX standards for web products
- Mapping and geospatial functionality: Implement and support mapping features, data presentation, and user interactions using Mapbox and related geospatial capabilities
- Systems integrations: Build and maintain dependable integrations with internal systems, third-party services, and APIs. Identify integration risks early and partner with the appropriate technical owners to resolve them
- Product collaboration: Participate actively in discovery, design reviews, prototyping, estimation, and feature tradeoff discussions with product, engineering, and leadership
- Quality and reliability: Validate work before release, investigate defects, protect usability and performance, and contribute to a practical, disciplined release process
- Own work to completion: Drive assigned priorities forward without waiting for step-by-step direction. Escalate decisions, risks, dependencies, or changes in scope early
- Deliver predictably: Break work into understandable increments, provide realistic estimates, communicate progress regularly, and meet agreed-upon delivery commitments
- Build for the next developer: Write clear, maintainable code and document key technical decisions, dependencies, integrations, and operational considerations
- Make the product easier to use: Apply strong UI/UX judgment to reduce ambiguity, improve user flows, and create a clean, coherent interface appropriate for field use
- Collaborate with discipline: Receive feedback constructively, provide practical technical input, and help leadership understand effort, tradeoffs, and release implications
- Work securely and responsibly: Follow established development, data-handling, access, and release practices appropriate for sensitive or regulated customer environments
