Flutter Engineer (m/w/d)

About Us

Spectacular stage shows and Hollywood films are illuminated with our spotlights and LED tubes – in the field of battery-powered lights, we have been the market leader with Astera for years.

Our products are used by lighting designers, lighting technicians, and event technicians. They particularly appreciate the many features (such as app control, wireless DMX, and integrated battery) and, above all, the exceptionally high quality of our products.

Astera employs 25 staff at its Munich location and operates its own factory in China, where the products are manufactured and shipped worldwide.

The Project

The AsteraApp controls the wireless lighting fixtures cinematographers, gaffers, and lighting designers rely on across film sets, concert stages, and live events worldwide — communicating with them over protocols like DMX and CRMX. We're rebuilding it from the ground up as a modern Flutter app for iOS and Android. The project is at an early stage, so your input will directly shape the architecture, UX, and codebase — and we're looking for an engineer who wants to build something professionals depend on under real production pressure.

How We Work

AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, and similar) are an explicit part of our daily workflow — expected, not just tolerated. We trust engineers to own their decisions, ship features end-to-end, and work tightly with UX/UI, firmware, and QA in Scrum sprints.

• Develop and maintain a high-performance Flutter app for iOS and Android — fixture management, real-time color control, live performance workflows, and wireless device communication.

• Make key technical decisions, write clean code, run code reviews.

• Build adaptive UI from Figma mockups across platforms.

• Profile and optimize latency-sensitive, communication-heavy workflows.

• Write unit, widget, and integration tests; publish App Store / Google Play releases.

We're looking for engineers who can demonstrate end-to-end ownership of a meaningful Flutter project — a published app or substantial open-source work showing real technical judgment.

• 1–2+ years of hands-on Flutter/Dart, or a strong end-to-end portfolio.

• Solid Flutter fundamentals and Dart (async/await, Streams, Isolates, null safety).

• State management (BLoC/Cubit preferred, Riverpod, Provider welcome) and architecture (MVVM, Clean Architecture, MVI).

• Adaptive UI for iOS/Android; local storage (SQLite, SharedPreferences, Secure Storage).

• Testing, linting, and profiling — or strong willingness to learn.

• Git, CI/CD, and App Store / Google Play publishing.

• BLE or Bluetooth Classic in Flutter is a significant advantage — the app talks to fixtures wirelessly.

• Good English, strong problem-solving, on-site commitment.

Nice to have: Swift/Kotlin and Platform Channels/FFI; Firebase; published apps; public GitHub/GitLab portfolio; embedded background (ESP32, C/C++); DMX, Art-Net, or live-event tech.

• Build a professional-grade product used on real film sets and major events worldwide.

• Shape the product long-term at an early project stage.

• Structured onboarding and mentorship at every level.

• Internal simulation tools for development without hardware.

• Open, international team with real responsibility.

• Modern Munich office, Deutschlandticket subsidy, competitive package.
