About the role
We’re looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer (Flutter / Backend) to join our core engineering team working on mobile-first, backend-driven products for leading hospitality brands across the region.
This is a cross-functional role where you’ll develop production-grade Flutter apps and architect powerful backend systems that drive loyalty programs, ordering workflows, discount engines, and more. You’ll be part of a high-impact product squad with close collaboration across engineering, design, and product.
🚨 Important: This role requires strong backend experience (Node.js, GCP, GraphQL). Flutter is essential, but backend engineering is a deal-breaker.
What you'll do
- Build and maintain high-quality Flutter-based mobile apps used by QSR brands and venues across APAC.
- Architect and develop scalable backend services using Node.js (Nest.js, Express.js) and TypeScript.
- Create, maintain, and optimize GraphQL (Apollo) and REST APIs for mobile clients.
- Design efficient relational data models using PostgreSQL and caching strategies via Redis.
- Deploy, monitor, and maintain services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using CI/CD and infrastructure best practices.
- Write clean, maintainable, testable code — and set the bar for engineering excellence through code reviews and refactoring.
- Work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to define technical specs, scope delivery, and ensure product success.
- Contribute to the adoption of AI-powered tooling to accelerate development and enhance system intelligence.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of software development experience, with a strong focus on backend systems
- 3+ years of experience developing apps in Flutter (Dart)
- Hands-on experience with:
- Node.js, Nest.js, Express.js (TypeScript)
- PostgreSQL (data modelling) and Redis
- GraphQL (Apollo) and REST API design
- Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or equivalent cloud platforms
- Proven ability to deliver backend-heavy mobile applications in production environments
- Strong debugging and performance optimization skills
- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
- Comfortable working full-time during AEST hours (Australian business hours)
Good to Have
- Experience in hospitality, retail, or transaction-heavy domains
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and observability tools (e.g., Stackdriver, Sentry, Datadog)
- Exposure to AI/ML tools, prompt engineering, or automation frameworks
- Experience integrating with third-party platforms (POS systems, payments, loyalty, CRM)
- Contributions to open source or participation in developer communities
- Experience working in remote-first teams across regions
Why join Liven?
- Make an impact — your code will power thousands of venues and millions of diners
- Work in a global, product-led team building the future of hospitality
- Learn fast, ship often, and drive real outcomes
- Join a culture that values intelligence, autonomy, and innovation
- Be part of an AI-first company with big ambitions and real momentum
