Hi!

All of them were cross-trained to be React Native engineers. Many of them are now working full time in React-land doing product engineering and some of them are working on lower level native infrastructure. We saw very little attrition and have emerged as a stronger, unified client engineering group (across mobile and web).

We talked a good amount about this [here](https://twitter.com/dan_coff/status/1393599897119592456). We are using Fastlane. We are building iOS on OSX, but Android on more standard EC2 hardware. We ship canaries with every commit to master, fully automated.

We are doing this already and plan to increase the investment over time. Stay tuned!

This is an excellent summary of our approach - thanks for writing it up :)

We did consider Flutter, but (1) we already had a very strong javascript talent base that we wanted to leverage; (2) at the time when we made the decision, Flutter was still relatively early in its lifecycle.

That said, we've spent a lot of time talking with teams using Flutter and we think it's awesome!

Hi all - I support all Retail engineering at Coinbase and was one of the folks who helped shepherd this change through from inception to rollout.

I'm happy to answer any questions that folks have - just thread here, and I'll either answer or pull in our team to give more detail.

Coinbase (YC S12) | Remote, San Francisco, New York, London | Onsite | https://www.coinbase.com

Digital currency will bring about more innovation, efficiency, and equality of opportunity in the world by creating an open financial system. We can use this new technology to help good ideas spread faster, reduce the inefficiencies that legacy payment networks impose on the world, and provide access to financial services to several billion people in the developing world.

I've personally been here for 3 years and love it. Tons of autonomy, lots of really challenging problems, and a super mission aligned employee group.

We're particularly interested in folks who are interested in building a world-class Javascript platform across React and React Native. Also, we just went fully remote-first (focus on US-remote hiring for now), so would love to hear from folks who are interested in that!

See all our open roles at Coinbase here: https://coinbase.com/careers

Tech Stack: Go, Ruby Rails, React (web), Swift (iOS), Kotlin & React Native (Android)

If you're interested in chatting more, feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected]. Looking forward to talking!
