About the Team and Product

We are building a completely new product, from the ground up with a small 5-person team. The current 3-person team was created 18 months ago.

The new product will be serving the underground mining market. We are using Flutter because our User Interface is targeting two Operating systems: Android and Windows. We may target a web application in the future.

As a Flutter UI developer on the team, you are expected to be proficient in Dart, using OpenAPI swagger, websockets as transport and the Android ecosystem. Flutter is a new technology in the company. The only other person using flutter is on our team, so internal knowledge is limited.
