Flutter Engineering Team Lead, California

Flutter Engineering Team Lead

Remote USA

Salary: $120-140K/yr

 

Are you an accomplished engineer with leadership experience? Are you passionate about building and improving growing SaaS platforms and the teams that make that possible? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join a dynamic and fast-growing company.

 

We are on a mission to provide small businesses with better access to the opportunities found in public records. We've been doing it for real estate investors, Realtors, mortgage brokers, home service companies, and others since 2007. We are broadening our customer base and looking to scale significantly.

 

As an Engineering Team Lead, you will be pivotal in guiding a cross-functional team towards achieving company objectives through efficient project delivery and innovative solutions. You will work closely with the other engineering team to design and implement robust solutions while tuning optimal performance, security, and cost-efficiency.

 

ABOUT YOU:

You help software-as-a-service engineering teams move fast with your leadership and technical skills. You have proven expertise in SaaS application development and know industry best practices. However, you balance speed with a deep understanding of quality and security needs

You want to lead a successful and fast-moving team. You enjoy solving the puzzle of turning a collection of individual engineers into a cohesive and high performing team. You communicate well in both synchronous (e.g. video calls, Slack) and asynchronous tools (e.g. Confluence, Jira) with people from diverse backgrounds and fulfilling various roles within the company. You provide coaching and mentoring to strengthen each member of your team

You want to make a difference. You understand the fastest path to your success, and ours, fundamentally depends on helping our customers, partners, and teammates succeed. We're on a mission to help small local businesses grow through hyperlocal lead generation. You believe that's important and can't wait to help

You get stuff done. You know how to break projects down into meaningful tasks and align a team to deliver quality, performant, and useful features. You inspire your team to move quickly but with quality

You have a proven track record. You've delivered high-quality, successful, and scalable SaaS products. You have 8+ years of hands-on experience building SaaS applications with at least 3 years of leading a team of 5 or more. You learned by getting a degree in a relevant field (Computer Science, Engineering, etc.) then getting hands-on experience or jumping right in learning on the job

 

THINGS YOU'LL DO:

Despite being founded in 2007, our company still runs like a startup, so you'll get experience with a little bit of everything. That said, here are some things you'll do:

Lead project deliveries, maintaining high security standards, and ensuring cost-efficiency, while achieving key performance indicators (KPIs) such as project delivery timelines and team satisfaction metrics

Demonstrate accountability for the features your team needs to deliver from requirements gathering to deployment and follow-up

Proactively raise and mitigate concerns or risks related to timelines, scope, or technical decisions

Understand and align with the business goals and adapt technical work to support them

Lead your team in discussing, evaluating, and making software design trade-offs based on your deep understanding of SOLID principles

Give and receive code reviews with a focus on growth, quality, and maintainability

Work with CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions

Actively seek feedback and be eager to learn from others

Show initiative by making improvements, whether in tooling, processes, or product within your team as well as suggesting improvements for both engineering and the company

Clearly communicate status, risks, and technical designs to both engineering and business teammates as needed

Use AI both in your own work and in the application to add efficiencies for yourself, your team, and our users

Release secure applications based on your solid understanding of security best practices, including authentication and authorization mechanisms and protocols

Stay up to date with the latest trends and advancements in technology, security, and architecture. Evaluate and recommend emerging technologies

Manage backlog, guide the team to successful sprints, and ensure documentation is created

Coach and mentor engineers on your team fostering both their individual growth and overall team development

Jump in where needed, always being bold and leading by example

If you are personally a backend engineer, you will contribute by:

Developing complex, secure, and high performing features in both PHP and Python, including writing unit and integration tests for continuous integration environments

Maintaining and creating Dockerfiles using your experience in Docker and other containerization technologies

Designing and developing large-scale APIs using a deep understanding of REST principles

Documenting and validating work with OpenAPI and JSON Schema for API documentation and validation

Writing complex SQL queries, including advanced techniques such as Common Table Expressions (CTEs)

Optimizing and designing queries for Lucene-based database management systems, such as Elasticsearch or Solr

Creating developer-friendly API documentation

If you are personally a frontend engineer, you will contribute by:

Writing clean, maintainable, and testable code following best practices using deep understanding of Flutter and Dart, including state management approaches (e.g., MobX, Provider)

Translating Figma designs into reusable, pixel-perfect Flutter widgets, with attention to responsive behavior and accessibility

Debugging efficiently across different platforms while dealing with platform-specific quirks

Integrating effectively with RESTful APIs and handling common client-side concerns like caching, error handling, and performance optimization

Sharing knowledge and patterns that could be reused across other projects within the client guild

Helping define or refine standards for Flutter development

Bonus points for cloud architecture, engineering, or security certifications especially for AWS
