Mobile App Developer Intern (Flutter)

Overview

About the job

At SignSetu, we are dedicated to transforming Deaf education through our innovative learning platform. Our mission is to empower Deaf learners and promote their educational growth.
Joining SignSetu means more than building mobile apps; it means creating accessible, real-time learning experiences that students rely on every day. You’ll work on features that directly impact classrooms—enabling smoother communication, better content delivery, and more inclusive digital learning environments.

We are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse team at SignSetu. We believe that talent and skills come in various forms, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and categories as long as they possess the passion and dedication required for the position.

What You’ll Do

• Build and ship cross-platform mobile features using Flutter (Android & iOS).
• Develop clean, responsive, and high-performance UIs with a strong focus on usability and accessibility.
• Integrate REST APIs, real-time services, and backend systems into the app.
• Work on media-heavy features (video playback, captions, interactive learning components).
• Optimize app performance (frame drops, memory usage, load times).
• Handle app state management (Provider, Riverpod, Bloc, etc.).
• Debug and fix production issues across devices and OS versions.
• Collaborate with backend, AI, and product teams to deliver end-to-end features.
• Participate in testing (unit, widget, integration) and release cycles.

Technical Must-Haves

• Hands-on experience with Flutter and Dart (projects/internships count).
• Strong understanding of mobile UI principles and responsive design.
• Experience consuming APIs (REST/JSON) and handling async data.
• Familiarity with state management approaches (Provider / Riverpod / Bloc).
• Basic understanding of app lifecycle, navigation, and performance optimization.
• Experience with Git/GitHub and collaborative development workflows.

Soft-Skill Superpowers

• Empathetic thinking — build with accessibility and real users in mind.
• Attention to detail — care about pixel-perfect UI and smooth interactions.
• Problem-solving mindset — debug UI glitches and performance issues effectively.
• Time management & discipline — break down features and ship consistently.
• Adaptability — iterate quickly based on real user feedback.
• Work ethic & grit — push through tricky UI/UX or device-specific bugs.
• Self-awareness & humility — seek feedback and improve fast.
• Collaboration — work across product, backend, and design teams.
• Emotional intelligence — stay composed during tight release cycles.

Nice-to-Have Extras

• Experience with animations in Flutter (implicit/explicit animations).
• Experience handling video/audio in mobile apps.
• Knowledge of accessibility best practices in mobile apps.
• CI/CD for mobile apps (Codemagic, GitHub Actions, Fastlane).
• Published apps on Play Store/App Store or strong project portfolio.
• Prior work on accessibility tech, captioning, or sign-language-related projects.
• Live projects (GitHub links encouraged).

What Makes the Culture Cool

• We believe work should energize, not exhaust. At SignSetu you won’t be judged by how long you sit in front of a screen but by the impact your code makes in Deaf classrooms.
• Impact > Experiments: Ship user experience that actually improve learning outcomes.
• Zero micromanagement: You’ll have a mentor, not a manager breathing down your neck.
• Grow into a product-minded engineer: You’ll think beyond code—into user experience and impact.
• Transparent roadmaps: Everyone sees the product backlog and can pitch ideas—interns included.

This is an UNPAID full-time internship position with a duration of 4 months, starting immediately. You will work on a production-grade mobile app and play an active role in improving accessibility in education. We provide a Certificate, Letter of Recommendation, extensive learning opportunities, and the chance to make a direct social impact on the education of Deaf students.
