Shot in the dark: Any advanced Flutter Dev here passionate about Asian Representation want to join a video dating app that celebrates the Asian experience?
This is a shot in the dark but I’m looking for an advanced Flutter developer so I’m posting here to search for a CTO & co-founder for a video dating app that celebrates the Asian identity, culture and story. (www.alike.dating)We have over 950 people signed up to be beta testers, a team of 5 passionate individuals and we were just 2 weeks away from launching our beta when our CTO suddenly had to leave the project due to family circumstances.We’re looking for a talented Flutter & mobile dev who’s passionate about Asian representation and wants to help build a platform where Asians can represent their unique story, show their personality and transcend stereotypes with the end goal of finding meaningful connections.This app is about more than just helping Asian individuals “hook up”. It’s about healing. It’s about recognizing that the collective Asian diasporic community is on a journey to heal from the generations of ancestral trauma and internalized racism. It’s about empowering Asian individuals to tell their stories and, through that process, find self-acceptance and self-love. Our mission is to help Asians lead happier lives.The company is based in Toronto but this is a remote position to anyone living in Canada or the U.S. We are looking for someone who can commit to joining full-time, but we’re open to the possibility of part-time.ResponsibilityThe role is to oversee, manage, execute and problem-solve all things technical for the app and startup, including building the app. They will eventually have to lead and manage a team of developers.
