Senior Flutter Engineer

Job description

Introduction:

Very Good Ventures is a global consultancy that delivers clients elegant solutions using disruptive technologies. At VGV, we believe that building very good technology starts with a culture of excellence, collaboration, humility, and openness – and of course, have a very good time while doing it.  We place our company values and culture at the forefront of everything we do.

Rising to prominence as the foremost Flutter experts, VGV is at an exciting stage of growth as we expand our global presence and our range of strategic services. Our mission is to lead the most influential companies through new digital frontiers and improve the relationship between technology and those that create, manage, and experience it. VGV’s client roster spans industries, including Toyota, Google, Dow Jones, JSX, Betterment, and Norwegian Cruise Lines.

People come to work at VGV to solve challenging problems with the newest technology, alongside some of the best talent in the industry, and in a culture that remains steadfastly dedicated to its employees.

Those in the Senior Engineer I position are well-trusted members of the team that can resolve almost every single technical challenge they face without guidance. They have a really good understanding of the project domain, and the rest of the team relies on them for efficient planning and collaboration methods.

Senior Engineers are considered project captains: they are brand ambassadors, they deliver the project following VGV’s quality standards, and they help other members of the team to grow, comparing their success to the success and growth of the team they lead.

Most of the time (depending on the size of the project), each project will be staffed with a Senior Engineer and two to three Engineers.
