Senior Mobile App Developer

Build the front door to justice

At Off The Record, we believe booking a legal service should be as easy as calling a ride on Uber. Today, 80% of Americans cannot afford a lawyer when they need one, fueling record levels of incarceration and lifelong barriers to opportunity. We are fixing that. OTR connects people with vetted, affordable attorneys — fast.

Since launching in 2015, we’ve helped over 500,000 people fight traffic tickets, DUIs, and other charges across all 50 states. We’ve built the largest network of vetted traffic and criminal defense attorneys in the country, and we maintain a 97% success rate.

We are venture-backed and growing. To accelerate our mission, we are hiring a Senior Mobile App Developer with a 10x mindset — someone who multiplies the impact of a small team through superb craft, speed with quality, strong product instincts, and the smart use of AI tools to move faster than teams twice our size.

This Role in a Nutshell

• Fully Remote: Yes, OTR is a fully remote company.
• Deep Mobile Experience: Expert-level Flutter and Dart. You hit the ground running.
• Pixel-Perfect UI: Our app needs to look and feel as good as it works. You bring the eye for detail to make that happen.
• AI-Forward: You are already using AI to write, review, debug, or ship code faster. We do not just allow AI tools — we expect you to use them.
• Work Hours: You must be available during PST/PDT business hours.
• Hiring Speed: We are looking to fill this position as soon as possible.
• Visa Sponsorship: We are not able to sponsor visas at this time, but you do not need to be in the United States to apply.

What You Will Do

• Own the mobile experience. Lead the architecture, implementation, and evolution of our flagship iOS and Android apps, used by tens of thousands of people every day.
• Ship end-to-end features. Translate product ideas and Figma designs into pixel-perfect interfaces that are fast, responsive, and delightful across devices.
• Build from scratch. Take new app ideas from concept to production.
• Leverage AI to move faster. Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding, testing, debugging, and code review. Help the team adopt and refine AI-powered workflows that increase our output without sacrificing quality.
• Scale our component library. Establish reusable widgets, patterns, and tooling to increase velocity and maintain consistency.
• Raise the bar on quality. Implement robust unit and integration tests, error monitoring, and performance optimization.
• Partner across the stack. Collaborate closely with Product Design, Backend Engineers, and the Leadership Team to define APIs, shape UX, and deliver measurable outcomes.

• Own releases. Manage app store submissions, track bugs, and optimize performance.
• Mentor and multiply. Share best practices — including AI workflows — review code thoughtfully, and uplevel the team.

Must-Have Experience

• 6+ years of mobile app development experience (iOS, Android, React Native, or Flutter)
• 3+ years of hands-on production development with Flutter and Dart
• Pixel-perfect UI using Flutter’s widget system, responsive layouts, and platform-aware design
• Strong understanding of state management, app architecture, and runtime performance
• Experience writing and maintaining automated tests (unit + integration) and working with CI/CD pipelines
• Comfortable managing app releases (App Store and Google Play) and tracking bugs end to end
• Deep understanding of HTTP, REST, and frontend/backend communication patterns
• Active use of AI development tools. You should already be using tools like Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, or similar AI assistants in your daily development workflow. We are not looking for someone who plans to start — we are looking for someone who is already there.
• A self-starter with a bias for action — you do not wait to be told what to do

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with native iOS (Swift) or Android (Kotlin) development
• Familiarity with Firebase, push notifications, and deep linking
• Experience with backend development (Java, Spring Boot, or similar)
• SQL proficiency and familiarity with relational databases
• Experience building or integrating AI-powered features into mobile apps (on-device models, LLM APIs, intelligent UX)
• Contributions to open-source projects or published writing on development topics

Who You Are

• AI-augmented developer. You have already embraced AI as a core part of how you work. You use it to write code, generate tests, debug issues, explore architecture decisions, and move faster. You are curious about what is next and actively experimenting.
• Learner. You track modern mobile development practices — including the rapidly evolving AI tooling landscape — and bring what you learn into daily work.
• Fearless doer. You prove ideas with working software and show that speed and quality can coexist.
• Craft-driven. You care about code clarity, accessibility, and delightful UX. You take pride in the details.
• Ownership mentality. You see a problem, you fix it — whether or not it originated with you. You take pride in seeing features all the way through.
• Startup-ready. You are proactive, collaborative, opinionated (and kind), and energized by ownership.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is preferred. Exceptional experience and an impressive portfolio can substitute.

• Native or near-native English proficiency is required. This is a fully remote team where all collaboration — standups, architecture discussions, code reviews, written docs — happens in English. You must be able to communicate clearly and confidently in real-time conversations, at a level where teammates would never think twice about your ability to keep up.

Why Join OTR

• Real-world impact. Your work directly helps people fight tickets, defend against charges, and get their lives back on track — life-changing moments.
• High leverage. Small, senior team. Your decisions directly shape product, architecture, and velocity.
• AI-first engineering culture. We believe AI tools are a multiplier, not a shortcut. We invest in them, experiment with them, and expect every engineer to use them.
• Competitive compensation. Plus comprehensive health and dental benefits.
• Fully remote. Work from anywhere while staying connected with a passionate, mission-driven team.
• Values-led culture. We listen, are transparent, and do what is right. Every teammate has an equal opportunity to succeed and be heard.
• Growth and learning. As part of a small startup, you will take on new challenges, wear multiple hats, and shape our product roadmap.
