- Proficient in Dart programming language and its ecosystem
- Strong understanding of mobile app architecture, design patterns, and performance optimization techniques
- Familiarity with backend integration patterns for mobile apps
- Knowledge of mobile app testing frameworks and automation tools
- Experience with agile development methodologies and project management tools, version control systems, and collaborative development tools
- Excellent problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills
- Have something to teach us

- Game development experience: a track record of shipping 2D games on mobile platforms
- Experience writing high-performance, parallelized code

What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior or Staff Mobile Engineer to join a new product initiative on our journey to build the world’s first real AI tutor for all children
- You’ll play a pivotal role in the development of a new app, which we’re starting to build in Flutter
- We’re not Flutter natives, so you’ll help bring our team up to speed
- We’re building a new kind of app – one where the AI controls the UX rather than the other way around – in order to deliver a groundbreaking learning experience
- You’re excited about that challenge and the opportunity to work alongside ML experts and learning scientists
- As a Senior Mobile Engineer, you likely already have substantial experience shipping products across iOS and Android and perhaps one or more cross-platform frameworks (Flutter, ideally, but maybe also React Native or Unity)
- You know the pros and cons of these platforms, but you could be comfortable with any of them, if the job required it
- You know how to structure a project well and love setting up infrastructure from scratch
- You champion excellent development practices across the team
- You’ll be responsible for working with Ello’s team of ML, platform, and Unity engineers to bring our tutoring AI to life
