About

Blend is an AI-driven graphic design tool for entrepreneurs that removes decision making to create professional-grade product catalogs. Entrepreneurs can now create product marketing material in a few seconds to stand out and sell better online. Instead of manipulating pixels, users edit objects.

What you'll do

Blend app, an AI-driven design tool, will help its users create stunning designs within seconds.

To help us get to our vision faster, we are looking for an Engineer to join us on our app development front. This developer:

• 📈 With the help of the rest of the team, you maintain a great app with few bugs and trustable analytics: KPIs, logs, crash logs, boards.

Above all, you would be the owner of the app side of things. Drive it to success. That will be the goal.

We are tech/langugage agnostic when it comes to developers, so the only hard requirement is to be smart and passionate. That being said, having the skills below will be an advantage:

• Experience working with Flutter and/or Dart
• Experience with React/React Native (makes it easier to pick up flutter)
• Experience with Native app development (sooner or later you might get to a point where you need to write native modules as well)
