We are using React Native for our project, these are roles of the six key engineers in the following ways:

1. Full-Stack Developer:
- Impact: While the full-stack developer typically handles both front-end and back-end, their role might now shift more towards ensuring seamless integration between the React Native front-end and the back-end services.
- Skills Required: They should be familiar with React Native in addition to the traditional front-end technologies. Their back-end responsibilities remain the same, ensuring that APIs and data handling are robust and efficient.

2. Mobile App Developers 1 iOS and 1:Android
- Impact The mobile app developer will now focus primarily on React Native instead of working with separate native codebases for iOS and Android.
- Skills Required: Proficiency in React Native is essential, along with knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript. They should also understand native modules for cases where React Native needs to interact with native iOS or Android functionalities.

3. DevOps Engineer:
- Impact: The DevOps engineer's role remains largely the same but will include setting up CI/CD pipelines for React Native. They need to ensure smooth deployments and updates across both platforms.
- Skills Required: Experience with setting up CI/CD for mobile apps using React Native, familiarity with tools like Fastlane, and cloud services for app distribution and updates.

4. Backend/Database Engineer
- Impact: The backend/database engineer's role is mostly unchanged, but they need to ensure that the back-end services are optimized for the data consumption patterns typical of mobile apps.
- Skills Required: Strong backend development skills, with a focus on creating scalable and efficient APIs. They must ensure that the backend can handle real-time updates and high loads, particularly for features like live scores which is a key component to our platform.
