Flutter developers use the software development kit (SDK) to build iOS and Android apps from a single codebase. With Flutter, developers can build high-performance, cross-platform apps with rich widgets.
If you want to build an app that works efficiently on all devices, a Flutter developer can help. However, you may encounter some hiring obstacles, particularly if you aren’t familiar with Flutter. Since Flutter is fairly new, the pool of qualified developers is relatively low, but the demand is high. Flutter developers also command high salaries, so it’s a competitive hiring market.
This article discusses what a Flutter developer does, the skills they should possess, and how to write a compelling job description to hire a Flutter developer for your development team.
Flutter is an open-source framework built on the Dart programming language. It was developed by Google in 2017. Flutter developers use widgets to create an app's visual and functional components. Widgets make it quick and easy to create an app and add new features and functionality. The main benefit of using Flutter is that it lets you use one framework to develop an app that can run on both iOS and Android devices.
Flutter’s “hot reload” also contributes to speedy development by allowing developers to immediately see code changes implemented in the app without reloading it.
Google Ads, Alibaba, and Postmuse apps were all created with Flutter, so it can power enterprise-level app development.
A Flutter developer creates apps with the Flutter SDK based on business needs. They may design the apps themselves or collaborate with a designer. They also test applications to ensure they won’t crash when released. Once their applications are stable, they release them into the app store and monitor user feedback. Developers take user feedback and make changes to the app to improve its usability and functionality. They’re also responsible for using version control tools to track changes to improve collaboration and productivity.
As a niche development area, demand isn’t as high for Flutter developers as for more widely used tech stacks — although it’s growing. However, the talent pool is also lower, which keeps the hiring environment competitive and the salaries high. Flutter developers in the U.S. are well-paid, with an average annual salary for a mid-level developer with four to six years of experience of $96,199.
Although Latin American Flutter developers earn less than their U.S.-based counterparts, the difference isn’t as dramatic as it is with most developers. This could be because finding Flutter developers is more challenging than other types of tech talent.
While Flutter developers in Latin American countries are equally skilled, the lower cost of living means they’re usually paid 30%-50% less than their US counterparts, with salaries varying based on location and experience. Revelo provides a cost-effective solution while offering highly qualified, pre-vetted Latin American developers.
A good job description can help you stand out and attract more applicants. When developers are looking through job ads, make it easy for them to notice yours by being brief and direct. People tend to skim, so keep your sentences short and use bulleted lists.
Begin with a specific title, like “Senior Flutter Developer,” rather than a more vague title, like “Front-end App Developer.” When you're deciding whether you need a junior, mid-level, or senior developer, think about how much independence they'll have in their job duties. Junior developers will need a lot of guidance, while senior developers can take the lead on projects.
Here are some general questions you can use to evaluate Flutter developers, even if you aren’t familiar with the framework.
There’s no correct answer to this, but asking it will set your candidate at ease. You can use this question to evaluate how well they communicate and their enthusiasm for Flutter. Look for a candidate with much to say about the benefits of using Flutter and who can communicate technical concepts to a non-technical audience.
Every widget is either stateful or stateless. As the name implies, stateful widgets have an internal state that can change, while stateless widgets have no internal state. Stateless widgets are often used for buttons or text. Because this concept is fundamental to Flutter development, a strong candidate should be able to explain it clearly.
State management can be handled in several ways, including:
This question will help you determine if a developer understands the cons of Flutter so they can compensate for them. Flutter is a powerful tool, but it’s not always the right one. Some of the drawbacks to Flutter include the following:
