Job description

Who We Are

SmartRent (NYSE: SMRT) is revolutionizing how people live and work with the industry’s only end-to-end platform designed for the rental housing industry. By uniting purpose-built software, integrated hardware and full implementation and support in one ecosystem, we help owners and operators simplify operations, cut costs and deliver exceptional resident experiences. Recognized by Deloitte, HousingWire and the PropTech Breakthrough Awards, SmartRent is shaping the future of property technology and redefining what it means to make rental housing smarter.

Job Description

You own the mobile platform layer: the native module boundary, the build and release pipeline, and the performance and stability budgets. Feature engineers ship on top of what you build, and your work is measured by how fast they can do that without writing one-off bridge code.

This is a hands-on IC role. You will work in Swift and Kotlin for native code and in JavaScript most days. You decide when a device integration becomes a shared native module instead of a one-off, and you say no when it should stay in JS.

Candidate based in Phoenix, AZ is preferred to come to our headquarters in North Phoenix on a hybrid schedule. 

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain the shared native modules that power device control and other hardware-specific features across our apps
• Plan, sequence, and schedule React Native and native platform upgrades, including related dependency work, without stalling feature delivery
• Own the iOS and Android build, signing, and store submission process, and keep it documented so any engineer on the squad can cut a release and new engineers can build on day one
• Define targets for crash-free session rate, cold start time, and binary size; instrument and alert on them; and advocate for them in planning when a feature puts one at risk
• Partner with backend teams early on payload shape, pagination, real-time device state, and error semantics before APIs are built
• Set code review standards, mentor other mobile engineers, and document technical decisions so they outlast the conversation
• Collaborate with other squads on shared mobile patterns, and with Product, QA, Customer Success, and Marketing on release scope and timing

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 5+ years shipping mobile apps on both the App Store and Google Play
• 3+ years of production React Native experience, including building and maintaining native modules
• Deep expertise in Swift or Kotlin with working fluency in the other, and comfort reading platform SDK source when documentation falls short
• Experience leading at least one significant platform migration or major React Native upgrade from planning through delivery
• Backend experience (Node, Elixir, or similar) sufficient to collaborate on API design as a peer
• Hands-on experience integrating hardware, BLE, or other connected-device protocols from the mobile app side
• Experience working in a fast-paced and  high-growth environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with offline-first state management and conflict resolution on unreliable networks
• Experience delivering accessibility and localization at scale in React Native

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

The city

The job is in Phoenix, AZ. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Phoenix compares. Among the 80 largest places in Arizona, Phoenix is #1 by population, #72 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #51 for rent (#1 = cheapest), #30 for household income (#1 = highest). Its county, Maricopa County, is #2 of 15 counties for average pay ($73,840).

The place in numbers

Phoenix has 1,642,323 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 22.3% of the population of Arizona. It covers 518 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,169 people per square mile. The median age is 34.9, 11% younger than the state median (34.9 against 39.0).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,582 a month (rent plus utilities), about the same as the state median ($1,582 against $1,543). Over a year that is 23.3% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $420,700, which is 5.2 times the median household income ($81,332); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 57.3% of households own their home, 15% below the state average (57.3% against 67.4%).

Work and pay

The Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metropolitan area has 2,375,760 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $51,380 a year, about the same as the national median ($51,380 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (295,910 jobs, median $48,120); sales and related (221,850 jobs, median $39,320); transportation and material moving (206,600 jobs, median $45,620). The area is most specialised in construction and extraction (1.4 times) and management (1.1 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($114,410) and computer and mathematical ($105,240). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Maricopa County was 4.1%. 68.2% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Maricopa County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 64.2% drive alone, 1.9% use public transit, 1.5% walk, 19.0% work from home. 12.7% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 11% below the state average (12.7% against 14.2%).

People and education

33.6% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, about the same as the state share (33.6% against 33.3%). 19.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 47% above the state share (19.0% against 13.0%). The poverty rate is 13.7%, 10% above the state rate (13.7% against 12.5%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 93°F (33.9°C), and the coolest is Dec at 52°F (11.0°C). About 254 mm (10 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jan is the wettest month (33 mm) and Jun the driest (2 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Glendale (6 miles, rent 3% lower); Paradise Valley (8 miles, rent 121% higher); Sun City (12 miles, similar rent); Youngtown (12 miles, rent 27% lower). Rent differences are against Phoenix; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
