• Strong, hands-on experience with Flutter/Dart.
• Solid system design skills and experience working in large, evolving codebases.
• Practical understanding of macOS and Windows desktop UX conventions and app architecture.
• Experience integrating Flutter with native desktop code and debugging across language/runtime boundaries.
• Practical expertise in state management, including one or more of:
  • Riverpod / Bloc / Provider
• Ability to influence technical direction through clear design and thoughtful collaboration.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience in security- or privacy-sensitive desktop software.
