Description
Role Overview
We are looking for an experienced Flutter SDE III who can take complete ownership of architecture, performance optimization, and app scalability for our OTT mobile applications. This is a senior individual contributor role requiring deep technical expertise and the ability to influence design decisions at a product level.
Key Responsibilities
1. Architecture & Design (High-Impact IC Role)
• Own the end-to-end architecture of company’s Flutter mobile applications.
• Design scalable, modular, testable app ecosystems aligned with OTT-specific performance constraints.
• Lead decisions around state management, navigation hierarchy, API structure, offline capabilities, and security.
2. Performance & Device Optimization
• Diagnose and resolve mobile performance bottlenecks, including:
o App startup time, FPS drops, memory leaks.
o Heating issues, over-rendering, and expensive widget rebuilds.
o Battery optimization, efficient network calls, caching strategy.
• Run in-depth profiling using tools like Dart DevTools, Android Profiler, and Xcode Instruments.
3. OTT-Specific Engineering
• Optimize video playback workflows for low-latency streaming.
• Implement efficient background processes for downloads, DRM, content sync, and push notifications.
4. Product & User Experience Ownership
• Collaborate closely with Product, Backend, and Video Engineering teams.
• Convert business/product requirements into high-performance technical solutions.
• Ensure UI/UX consistency across platforms while maintaining performance budgets.
5. Code Quality & Leadership
• Write clean, extensible, and maintainable code with strong adherence to SOLID and reactive programming principles.
• Review code for mid-level and junior engineers; act as a mentor across teams.
• Establish engineering standards, internal frameworks, and reusable components for long-term scalability.
Required Skills & Experience
Technical Must-Haves
• 6+ years of total experience with 3+ years in Flutter for large-scale products.
• Mandatory product-based company background (B2C scale preferred).
• Strong expertise in:
o Dart, Flutter SDK internals
o Bloc, Riverpod, Provider, or other state management approaches
o Custom animations, rendering pipeline, shader-based optimization
o Platform channels (Android/iOS) and native integrations
o API integration, caching layers, offline-first architecture
• Strong understanding of mobile system design, scalable architecture, and low-level performance engineering.
Good to Have
• Experience with video streaming apps, OTT platforms, or media-heavy applications.
• Understanding of analytics frameworks (Firebase, Segment, Mixpanel).
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and fastlane.
Personality & Mindset
• Product thinking, not just feature-building.
• Ownership-driven with strong ability to take strategic technical decisions.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced 0→1 and scale-up environment.
Why Join company?
• Work on a high-growth OTT app with millions of users.
• Opportunity to own the core mobile experience end-to-end.
• Build impact-heavy features at scale with a lean, highly skilled engineering team.
