Mobile App Development: Add functionality and extend an already existing mobile application (in great shape) using Flutter/Dart, ensuring compatibility across iOS and Android devices.
Backend Development: Set up and maintain Firebase backend services, including database design, authentication, cloud functions, and integration with the mobile app.
Server Connections: Establish robust and secure connections between the app and Firebase, ensuring seamless data flow and functionality.
Modular Code: Write clean, modular, and well-documented code to make future updates and maintenance straightforward.
GitHub Management: Use GitHub for version control and collaborative development.
The first product / application you will work on is this: www.thecoolerpro.com. The position will be to extend the application you see on the website to add features, then connect it to a Firebase server.
Key Requirements:
Proven experience in Flutter/Dart mobile app development.
Strong knowledge of Firebase services (Firestore, Cloud Functions, Authentication, etc.).
Ability to work independently and manage your own time effectively.
Familiarity with GitHub for version control.
Demonstrated ability to write modular and maintainable code.
Strong communication skills to provide regular updates and address questions.
Understanding of low level bits and bytes. Bit manipulations are occasionally required.
Preferred Traits:

Proactive problem solver who can troubleshoot and improve existing solutions.
Ability to work collaboratively when needed while also taking ownership of tasks.
Timeline and Delivery:
We are looking for someone who can start as soon as possible. The timeline for deliverables will be flexible and discussed based on the scope of work and your availability. Quality is more important than speed.
Potential for More Work:
This project is just the beginning. If you demonstrate the expertise and collaboration we’re seeking, there will likely be ongoing work as we expand the app’s functionality and features.
Helpful Notes:
If you have experience integrating Firebase with Flutter apps, please highlight specific projects. Include code samples or links to GitHub repositories if possible. Let us know your hourly rate and availability.
To be considered for this position, you will be required to:

* Perform the work yourself – we do not hire middlemen or agencies – only individual developers may apply
* Prove you know what you say you know (Provide a link to your GitHUB account with verifiable commits over a period of time, pass a technical skills test, etc.)
Please do not waste my time, and I won’t waste yours.
