Software Engineer - Flutter

Salary Competitive

We are building Acter, the decentralized organizing app for activists and grassroot initiatives. It builds on top the Matrix, the decentralized messaging protocol. Most of that direct by the internal RustCore API but concepts and idea seep through to the highest parts of the application as well. The UI is being built using Flutter, Material UI and Riverpods for state management for both mobile and desktop target. Especially for that group of users a clean and clear UI is very important, and Matrix has some complicated problems within it.

We are looking for someone to join our team helping us build out the vision of a secure and effective organizing app in Flutter. We have an established design pipeline (from Figma) but need more hands on deck to actually implement them—either in a freelance, full- or part-time position.

Working at
Acter

Acter is a non profit Association who is building an all in one mobile and desktop app for effective organizing. Encrypted and decentralized. The free and open internet has been co-opted by large players, and it's all too easy for governments, corporations, and other non-aligned actors to spy on people, in particular on organizers and activists. We, the Acter team, are building Acter to enable privacy-first organizing, using strong resource-aware cryptography in familiar user interfaces. We leverage technology to foster new and smarter ways of organising, breaking down silos, creating more transparency, inclusion, engagement, empowerment - and above all, action! Come to join us! Frequently Asked Questions: **Where is Acter located?** Acter is a 100% remote company with employees all around the world. Although we have a desk in Aarhus, Denmark, we all work from home or a workspace of our choice. Our team members are based in Aarhus (DK), Lisbon (PT), Magdeburg (DE), Nairobi (KE), Islamabad (PK), Boston (US), Shenyan (CH), and more. **How is Acter funded?** We have a previous product that is already being used by customers, and it has helped us convince some NGOs to become partners and support our work towards the next major milestone. Some of our partners include ActionAid, CISU, Amnesty International, Greenpeace Nordic, OceanKAN, and NCCDH, to name a few. **How will Acter become financially sustainable?** Our goal is to enable activists to become more effective through the tools we have built. Thus, we want the revenue to come from the same source to ensure we stay on course. In addition to the free-forever version, there will be a more advanced version for larger groups that requires an extra subscription. We are also partnering with NGOs to offer the service in a decentralized manner and they will be paying for that service as well. **What does the application process look like?** We keep it simple and straightforward. We will review the information you have submitted and research additional information we consider relevant. If we like what we see, we will contact you about a video call with the team lead (for tech and product, that would be @Ben(GNUnicorn)), where we will discuss more in-depth how we would like to proceed. **How big is Acter’s team?** We currently a team of 9 people, spread across 7 countries. **How many people do you plan to hire?** We plan to grow the team, but we will do so one person at a time to ensure everyone settles in and becomes effective. Therefore, we will be filling these roles slowly and as needed. Expect that we might be adding 3-4 people by the end of the year (2023).
