Shorebird is hiring a Software Engineer to own and extend our Flutter engine and Dart runtime forks, primarily in C++. This builder-focused role offers broad ownership: you will own our Flutter fork, including how it is built, managed and maintained, and you will design and ship new capabilities in the engine and runtime with direct customer impact. The team is small (about eight people) and fully remote, with the founder of Flutter at Google on the team, so you’ll work directly with him.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Build new features deep in a large, C++ codebase (our Flutter engine + Dart runtime forks) - Own capabilities end to end: design, implementation, ship, support - Work as "full stack" as you’re comfortable; in a tiny team, work divides by interest, not by rigid layer - Work directly with the founder who built Flutter; this is a learn-as-much-as-you-want seat - Take on unglamorous work (rebases after Flutter releases, occasional gnarly native bug, a build-infra fix) because owning a larger fork covers a lot of ground
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Real facility and genuine desire for C++. You don’t need decades of experience, but you should be productive in C++ and able to guide AI-assisted code when appropriate - A generalist who goes deep, not a narrow specialist; has tackled a large codebase you didn’t write - Mission alignment: you care about avoiding duplication and making Flutter useful beyond the standard upstream - Self-directed: in a small company, you make decisions and live with them - Drawn to a small company: impact and ownership over structure and scale
