Senior Flutter Desktop Engineer

Location: Fully Remote (US or Canada)

Most Flutter engineers build for phones. You build for the desktop — and you know the difference matters.

About Nest

Nest Veterinary makes pet care accessible. We build fully-managed, tech-enabled care plan infrastructure for veterinary practices — helping clinics increase compliance, drive revenue, and deliver better preventive care without the administrative weight. We're the category leader, we're growing fast, and our core clinic tool runs on Flutter desktop.

The role

You'll be a foundational member of a small engineering team (under ten people) that ships daily. This is a high-agency position: you'll shape our desktop architecture, not execute tickets handed down to you. Direct access to leadership is real — your technical judgment will influence product decisions.

What you'll own

You'll own the design and build of our clinic-facing desktop application in Flutter and Dart, with a focus on performance, window management, and deep OS integration on Windows and macOS. That includes complex state management (Riverpod, Bloc, or Provider), local persistence strategies for unreliable clinic connectivity, and hardware integrations — printers, scanners, peripherals — via Method Channels or FFI. You'll set the standard for desktop-specific patterns across the codebase: keyboard navigation, context menus, hover states, memory management. You'll own code quality and high-leverage reviews. You'll also write Rust for a handful of performance-critical functions — if that's part of your toolkit, great; if you're curious about it, we can work with that too.

We use GitHub Actions for CI/CD, which means your work is in clinics the same day you ship it.

What we're looking for

7+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years of production Flutter. You've shipped at least one non-trivial desktop application — Flutter, Electron, Qt, or native — and you understand how desktop UX expectations differ from mobile. You have startup experience and the judgment to know when to move fast and when to slow down. You write clean, modular, extensible code, and you're not too proud to go low-level when a rendering lag needs fixing.
