Senior Flutter Engineer at Basket

Overview

We are Basket (trybasket.com) – a fresh and exciting new approach to save, share and follow the things you love, and the people who love them too. Basket keeps you organised, up to date, and helps you buy better across all shopping categories.

To continue our growth we’re seeking a Senior Flutter Engineer located in London or Auckland. To excel in this role and have a positive impact on our customer success, you’ll need strong production experience with Flutter (preferably e-commerce), and a glowing track record building delightful mobile experiences. We have a separate backend team and Basket is already live in production, so your key focus will be scoping and building new features, and maintaining a kickass Flutter codebase for mobile. Some native work will be required in addition to Flutter, so experience with either Swift or Kotlin is essential.

To thrive at Basket, you’ll learn quickly, think big, and deliver rock-solid results in a fast-paced startup environment. You’ll balance safe decisions while proactively researching and running code experiments. You’re someone who embraces collaboration and feedback with open arms. You continuously look for ways to grow yourself, help teammates, and opportunities to make the products you work on stronger. This is a chance to join an innovative team where you will be challenged, and have significant input to shape a product we believe will become a global household name.

How We Work at Basket

At Basket, we work in 2 week development cycles with a clearly defined goal. We’re inspired by companies like Linear where quality work is more important than quantity of features released. We plan each cycle well ahead of time with team discussions, research and workshops to make sure we’re making informed decisions.

Here’s how our typical cycle looks

• 2 weeks before a cycle we plan and define requirements for features

• 1 week before a cycle we do technical due diligence and write acceptance criteria

• During a cycle we write code using test-driven development, test code to development and staging environments, collaborate with QA, Design and PM team members to ensure features are production ready.

• Scope and agree technical requirements for features in collaboration with design, QA and PM team members

• Write test-driven Flutter, Dart or Native code to implement feature requirements

• Implement animations using Lottie, Rive and Flutter frameworks

• Maintain and improve existing code with a focus on stability and performance

• Use application monitoring tools to identify new opportunities and fix issues

• Take security seriously by implementing tools, code and practices that preserve the integrity of our services and protect customer data

About You
