Flutter Mobile Engineer

This full-time role develops the iOS and Android applications for SAMANSA, a video-on-demand service that distributes short films from around the world. The product is designed around short viewing sessions and aims to provide an experience closer to TikTok than to a conventional feature-film service. The position is based in Tokyo.

Day-to-day work centers on mobile application development with Flutter. Engineers can take responsibility for areas that match their strengths or the areas they want to develop, while working alongside experienced engineers and participating in code reviews and efforts to maintain code quality.

The required qualifications are at least two years of professional experience using Flutter, the ability to maintain code quality, code-review skills, and the ability to work full-time. The posting also welcomes experience creating a product from zero to one, UI/UX design experience, Rails development experience, React development experience, and AWS experience. It also describes interest in building new markets or businesses, working in a startup environment, taking initiative, and acting with responsibility as desired characteristics.

The main framework is Flutter. The named surrounding technologies and tools are HTML and CSS for the web front end, React and Next.js, AWS for infrastructure, Ruby on Rails for the backend, GitHub for code management, and Notion and Slack for communication and management.

SAMANSA is described as a startup approaching its fifth year, with 25 members and experienced engineers who support mutual skill development. The company has members from the United States and many bilingual members; depending on the work, communication with overseas parties may occur regularly. The posting also states that some tasks can be performed in Japanese only.

The role-specific work-style section states that employees come to the office once a week and work remotely on the other days. The broader company information states that working hours use a full-flextime system and that weekends and public holidays are off. That general section also contains a request for at least two office days per week regardless of employment type, while noting that some departments and positions are fully remote.
