Responsibilities (What you’ll do)

This role will work closely with a non-technical founder, with overarching technical guidance from a CTO, and in partnership with a designer. As the developer, you are expected to:

Build, enhance, and maintain app and web experiences using Flutter, turning product ideas, rough briefs, and design concepts into shipped features

Partner closely with the founder, CTO, and designer to translate business goals into practical product decisions and intuitive user experiences

Develop responsive, reliable, and scalable interfaces, including API, backend, and third-party integrations needed to support the product end to end

Move quickly and make sound technical decisions in a lean environment, balancing speed, quality, maintainability, and user experience

Own iteration and improvement across features, releases, debugging, and postlaunch enhancements

Contribute to how the team works by helping shape standards, workflows, documentation, and overall product delivery habits

Use AI tools thoughtfully to improve speed, quality, and execution without losing judgment

Requirements (What you need to be successful)

5+ years of software development experience, with strong hands-on expertise in Flutter/Dart and a clear track record of building and shipping real apps or digital products

Strong builder instincts across product and front end, with a sharp eye for UX/UI quality, usability, responsiveness, and performance

Working knowledge of the core languages and tools needed to build and support modern digital products, including Dart, JavaScript, NodeJS, MySQL, GCP, API/JSON-based integrations, and version control such as Git

Ability to work closely with founders, designers, and non-technical stakeholders, turning broad ideas or rough direction into practical, well-executed product decisions

Strong problem-solving, debugging, and technical judgment, with the ability to work independently and build well in a lean, fast-moving environment

Clear communication, strong ownership, and the maturity to balance speed, quality, and maintainability while keeping the bigger product picture in mind Nice to have (Your advantage)

Experience building your own apps, side projects, MVPs, or founder-led products from 0 to 1 across both mobile and web, especially in fast-moving product environments

Strong experience with tools and services commonly used in modern product builds, such as Firebase, cloud platforms, analytics, authentication, and push notifications

Strong product sense and the ability to suggest better ways to build, not just execute what is asked
