Job description

Experience: 8+ years overall (5+ years hands-on Flutter/Dart)

About the Role:

We are looking for an experienced Flutter Lead who combines the technical depth of a senior developer with the ownership of a technical lead. You will personally design and build core parts of our Flutter applications — writing production code, solving hard technical problems, and setting architectural direction — while also mentoring the team, driving code quality, and owning delivery. This role suits someone who leads by staying close to the code, not from a distance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and build Flutter-based mobile applications for iOS and Android, actively contributing to the codebase alongside the team.
• Architect efficient, scalable, high-performing applications using patterns like MVVM or Clean Architecture, and translate those decisions into working code.
• Build reusable components, libraries, and core infrastructure (networking, state management, navigation) that the wider team builds on.
• Implement and enforce state management solutions (Provider, Riverpod, Bloc, Redux) across the app.
• Integrate applications with RESTful APIs / GraphQL and third-party SDKs.
• Work with native platform channels where features require Kotlin/Swift-level integration (e.g., biometrics, payment SDKs, push notifications).
• Collaborate with UI/UX designers to translate designs into pixel-perfect, responsive interfaces across device sizes.
• Write and maintain unit/widget tests, and troubleshoot, debug, and optimize applications for performance and scalability.
• Lead code reviews, mentor developers, and set/enforce coding standards and best practices.
• Own CI/CD pipelines for mobile builds and manage app deployment to the App Store and Google Play Store.
• Collaborate with QA, BA, backend, and DevOps teams to clarify requirements and validate implementation against acceptance criteria.
• Work closely with project managers and stakeholders to define project timelines, scope, and deliverables.
• Stay current with Flutter releases, trends, and mobile development technologies.

Requirements:

• 8+ years in mobile app development, with 5+ years of hands-on Flutter/Dart experience.
• Strong understanding of Dart, the Flutter framework, and state management techniques (Provider, Riverpod, Bloc).
• Experience with mobile app architecture patterns like MVVM or Clean Architecture.
• Hands-on experience with RESTful APIs, JSON, and third-party SDK integrations.
• Strong understanding of Android & iOS platforms, including app lifecycle and app store publishing.
• Experience with Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Crashlytics, Push Notifications).
• Familiarity with local storage (SQLite, Hive, SharedPreferences).
• Familiarity with platform channels / method channels for bridging native Android and iOS functionality into Flutter.
• Comfortable with unit/widget testing frameworks and debugging/performance-tuning tools.
• Experience with version control (Git, GitHub/GitLab), Agile methodologies, and CI/CD tools.
• Ability to write high-quality, production-grade code while also guiding and supporting a team in a fast-paced environment.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with native Android (Kotlin/Java) or iOS (Swift) development.
• Exposure to eCommerce, FinTech, Healthcare, or Enterprise applications.
• Knowledge of cloud services like Firebase, AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Knowledge of automated testing (unit, widget, integration testing).
• Experience leading remote or distributed teams.
• Exposure to Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC), SCAPI, or other headless commerce platforms.
• Experience with localization (i18n) for multi-market apps.

Soft Skills:

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to lead and mentor development teams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Ownership mindset and delivery-focused attitude.

Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
