- iOS/Android store delivery (TestFlight, Play Console), IAP/subscriptions, and push notifications.
- CI/CD for RN (EAS/Fastlane/Bitrise/GitHub Actions), crash/analytics (e.g., Sentry, Firebase/Segment).
- Proven performance work (startup time, bundle size, jank/frames).
Nice to Have
- PlayFab (title/player data, leaderboards), or similar (GameSparks, Firebase, custom).
- Video (AVPlayer/ExoPlayer wrappers), deep links, dynamic linking, A/B testing.
- Security basics (secure storage, anti-tamper, privacy, PII handling).
