Tech Lead Flutter
WFA Digital Insight
Zeely's Tech Lead Flutter sits at the crossroads of high‑scale mobile engineering and AI‑driven creativity. The team already has five mid‑level and senior Flutter developers, so the new lead will spend most of the week writing code while also steering architectural choices and mentoring peers. Because Zeely builds an AI platform that creates viral UGC videos and ad creatives for small businesses, the mobile product must stay reliable at a million‑plus user base while evolving quickly. Candidates should be comfortable balancing hands‑on development with guiding a remote‑first team, and they must be ready to work closely with product managers to keep the user experience intuitive. The role promises direct impact on a product aiming for a billion‑dollar valuation within three years, making it a rare blend of technical depth and strategic influence.
