Flutter Engineer

Remote position in Europe.

We’re looking for a talented Flutter Engineer to join Inner Child once the project is able to offer a paid role. We’re currently applying for government grants and expect to secure initial funding soon. We’re building our shortlist now and plan to hire in approximately 3–5 months.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship features in Flutter with strong attention to performance, UX, and maintainability.

• Implement Rive animations such as state machines, interactions, and runtime integration, and collaborate with design on animation-driven flows.

• Handle Android platform work when needed, including build variants, Gradle, permissions, background tasks, performance profiling, and device-specific issues.

• Handle iOS platform work when needed, including Xcode setup, signing, provisioning, App Store requirements, and performance or native integration nuances.

• Write and maintain tests across unit, widget, and, when appropriate, integration and end-to-end coverage.

• Contribute to architecture and code quality through solid patterns, clean code, separation of concerns, and modularity.

• Maintain CI/CD for mobile builds using tools like GitHub Actions, Bitrise, or Codemagic, including automated checks, builds, and releases.

• Ship releases to Google Play and the App Store, covering build and signing, internal testing and TestFlight, rollouts, hotfixes, and basic compliance.

• Use AI tools effectively to speed up development, while still being able to debug independently using logs, profiling, and root-cause analysis.

Requirements

• Fluent in English.

• Strong Flutter/Dart experience shipping real apps.

• Solid experience with Flutter animations and Rive in production (or equivalent depth with a strong Rive portfolio).

• Good understanding of Android and iOS nuances (not just “Flutter-only”).

• Able to write reliable tests and comfortable maintaining a test suite.

• Proven ability to publish apps to both stores and handle release pipelines.

• Comfortable with CI/CD for mobile apps and automated quality gates.

• Strong debugging skills (can diagnose issues without relying on AI).

• Experience working with architecture patterns (e.g., MVVM, Clean Architecture, BLoC/Riverpod/Provider — whichever fits the codebase).

• Familiar with collaborative development: PRs, reviews, code conventions, tickets, and delivery discipline.
  

Nice to have

• Experience with gamified apps, emotional/mental well-being products, or highly polished consumer UX.

• Performance optimization experience (jank reduction, memory, startup time).

• Native mobile experience: Kotlin/Swift.

• Analytics/instrumentation experience (events, funnels, crash reporting).
