Founding Mobile Engineer (Flutter/Firebase)

About MODRA MODRA is building the future of local retail. We’re creating a local commerce platform that connects customers with nearby retail stores through independent delivery drivers, making same-day retail delivery as seamless as ordering food through DoorDash or Uber Eats. The customer application, Firebase backend, Stripe integration, and admin portal are already well underway. I’m now looking for a Founding Mobile Engineer who wants to help lead the technical future of the company. ⸻ About You I’m looking for someone who thinks like an owner—not someone who simply completes tickets. You should be comfortable taking ownership of an existing codebase, improving architecture, helping make technical decisions, planning future features, and eventually leading engineering as the company grows. This is an opportunity to become a long-term technical leader inside an early-stage startup. ⸻ Responsibilities * Take ownership of an existing Flutter application * Review and improve application architecture * Lead future product development * Build scalable Firebase infrastructure * Improve security, performance, and maintainability * Continue development of the customer app * Design and build the driver platform * Expand the merchant/admin portal * Help plan technical roadmaps and future sprints * Prepare the platform for rapid growth * Collaborate directly with the founder to turn product ideas into reality ⸻ Required Experience * Senior Flutter development * Dart * Firebase * Cloud Firestore * Firebase Authentication * Firebase Cloud Functions * Stripe integration * Apple App Store & TestFlight * Google Play deployment * REST APIs * Git & GitHub * Mobile application architecture ⸻ Bonus Experience * Marketplace applications * Delivery platforms * Uber Eats / DoorDash–style systems * Real-time location tracking * Push notifications * Google Maps * Payment systems * Startup experience * Technical leadership * CTO or Lead Engineer experience ⸻ What I’m Looking For Communication is extremely important to me. I’m a non-technical founder, so I need someone who can explain technical decisions in plain English while helping build a world-class product. I value ownership, transparency, problem-solving, and someone who takes pride in building something that can scale. ⸻ Long-Term Opportunity This starts as a paid engagement. If we’re a great fit, I’m looking for someone who can grow into the long-term technical leader of MODRA as the company scales.
