We’re looking for a Flutter App Engineer to help us create innovative digital experiences for over 30 million customers across the UK. This is your chance to be part of a team that’s shaping the future of connectivity with cutting-edge technology.


As a key member of the Home Controls tribe, you’ll work in the Fix Squad to develop features for EE’s latest router, the Smart Hub 4. This state-of-the-art device boasts the fastest WiFi ever with WiFi 7, providing unparalleled speed and reliability for our customers. Your contributions will enhance the MyEE App, enabling users to manage their broadband experience seamlessly.

What you’ll be doing

In this role you'll be working on BT's ​​​​​​WiFi 7 Technology: Experience lightning-fast internet speeds and improved performance, even in high-demand environments. WiFi 7 supports more devices simultaneously, ensuring that every user enjoys a smooth and responsive connection.

You'll get the opportunity to be involved in:

  • Enhancing Features: You’ll be developing functionalities like speed tests, gaming modes, and router boosts, empowering customers to optimize their internet experience.
  • User-Centric Design: Your work will directly impact how customers interact with their routers, making troubleshooting and management intuitive and efficient.
  • Build high-performance applications in Flutter that leverage the capabilities of Smart Hub 4.
  • Advocate for best coding practices and participate in code reviews to maintain high standards.
  • Collaborate with tech leads to define front-end technical standards and approaches.
  • Mentor team members and support post-release activities, ensuring a smooth rollout of updates.

Our Squads:

Skills and Experiences

In this role, you will leverage Flutter, Dart, and Bloc to build scalable applications that meet the demands of enterprise-level systems:

Flutter: This UI toolkit allows for rapid development of natively compiled applications across multiple platforms. Its widget-based architecture enables you to create highly customizable and responsive user interfaces, essential for delivering a top-notch user experience on the MyEE App.

Dart: As the programming language for Flutter, Dart is designed for high-performance applications. Its strong typing and asynchronous programming capabilities help manage complex data flows and ensure smooth interactions, which are critical in large-scale applications where performance and reliability are paramount.

Bloc State Management: The Bloc pattern is particularly beneficial for managing state in large applications. It promotes:
Separation of Concerns: By decoupling business logic from UI, Bloc makes your codebase more maintainable and easier to scale.

Reactive Programming: Bloc allows your application to respond efficiently to state changes, ensuring that the UI updates seamlessly as data flows through the app.

Testability: With Bloc, you can independently test business logic, which is crucial for maintaining high quality in enterprise applications where reliability is key.


What We’re Looking For:
Experience in mobile app development, particularly with Flutter and Dart.
Familiarity with Bloc state management and a strong understanding of TDD.
Excellent communication skills to articulate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
Experience working on enterprise scale complex applications.
A customer-focused mindset with a passion for enhancing user experiences.
