Senior Software Engineer - React Native

Meet Instinct 👋
Instinct Science is at the forefront of veterinary innovation, comprised of world-class tools that have served our industry for decades: easy-to-use veterinary practice software (Instinct EMR), an essential resource for expanding your knowledge and skills (Clinician's Brief), clinical and pharmaceutical decision support (Standards of Care & Plumb's), and an AI scribing platform (ScribbleVet). Combined, Instinct Science offers an ecosystem that veterinarians rely on for every aspect and stage of their careers.
At Instinct Science, we believe in leading with compassion. Our team, our customers, and their patients and clients are the foundation of everything we do. Our culture is guided by our U.C.A.R.E. values: We move fast because our mission matters, we put customers at the center of every decision, and we treat each other with kindness and high standards.
Product Focus: ScribbleVet
ScribbleVet is our AI-powered scribe, built to eliminate one of the biggest drivers of veterinary burnout: documentation. What used to take veterinarians two hours at the end of a long day now takes twenty minutes. Hundreds of clinics rely on Scribble daily to generate high-quality medical records for thousands of patients.
This is not a side project. It’s a high-growth, AI-native product with real revenue, real users, and massive upside. We’re early enough to build from first principles — but far enough along to have strong product-market fit and customer love.
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who wants to push applied AI into real-world healthcare workflows — and own meaningful problems end-to-end.
If these values speak to you, you might be a good fit for our Senior React Native Engineer job.
A Sneak Peek of Your Role 🔭
This role is remote (US-based) and embedded directly within the ScribbleVet product team.
As a Senior React Native Engineer, you’ll own the mobile experience end-to-end — from designing intuitive AI-assisted workflows to optimizing performance in real clinical environments. You’ll build and refine the React Native + Expo apps that veterinarians use during live appointments, where reliability, speed, and usability are mission-critical.
You won’t just implement tickets. You’ll help define how AI shows up on mobile — how prompts, edits, voice capture, visual diffs, and structured medical data feel seamless and trustworthy in a high-stakes setting.
This is high-autonomy, high-impact work.
Why Join Instinct Now?
We're at an inflection point. We've proven product-market fit, and we're scaling fast. The next 18 months will define whether we become the platform every vet clinic uses or just another tool in the drawer.
If you join now, you'll:
Shape core product decisions while we're still small enough to pivot quickly
Work on greenfield projects that will serve tens of thousands of users
Help build the engineering culture and practices for a team that will 10x
What You'll Do 🛠️
You’ll own meaningful product surfaces from discovery to production:
Design and build high-performance React Native + Expo applications
Create intuitive, real-time AI-assisted workflows for clinical environments
Collaborate closely with backend engineers (Elixir + GraphQL) to design efficient data flows
Improve performance, offline behavior, and reliability under real-world constraints
Partner with product, design, and veterinarians to rapidly prototype and iterate
Elevate code quality, testing practices, and mobile architecture standards
Mentor other engineers and shape scalable mobile development patterns
You’ll be measured by real-world outcomes: usability during appointments, reduced documentation time, and trust in AI-generated records.
