Flutter Development, Accelerated with AI

AI Assisted Widget Review

AI helps our engineers spot unnecessary rebuilds, state management problems and layout issues in widget trees that cause jank on low end devices.

Cross Platform Tests

AI drafts widget and integration tests for iOS and Android behavior, and the engineer checks each test before it joins the suite.

Performance Profiling

AI helps engineers read profiling data on frame rendering, memory use and startup time, so the team can catch regressions before a release goes to app store review.

Routine Code Drafting

Claude Code drafts routine Dart code such as data models, JSON serialization and screen scaffolding, and Flutter hot reload lets the engineer check each change in the running app.

The whole Unico Connect team uses Claude Code daily. Our engineering leads estimate that roughly 80 percent of our production code is AI generated. Engineers are expected to understand the code AI produces, and a tech lead or senior developer reviews it before it ships.

What Our Flutter Developers Build

iOS & Android Apps

Cross platform mobile applications with native level performance. Platform specific UI elements, navigation patterns, and device APIs where they matter.

Real Time and Chat Applications

Messaging, live tracking, and collaborative tools with WebSocket and Firebase real time database integration. Offline first with sync on reconnection.

Ecommerce and Marketplace Apps

Product browsing, cart management, payment processing, and push notifications. Smooth animations and fast load times for a premium shopping experience.

IoT & Hardware Integration

Flutter apps that communicate with Bluetooth devices, smart home hardware, sensors, and wearables through platform channels and native plugins.

Web & Desktop from Mobile Codebase

Extend your Flutter mobile app to web and desktop platforms with responsive layouts and platform adaptive UI components.

App Modernization

Migrate native iOS (Swift) or Android (Kotlin) apps to Flutter for unified development. Reduce maintenance cost while preserving native performance.

VETTING PIPELINE

How engineers earn a spot on our team

Our hiring process has three stages, from the application screen to a project deep dive with background verification, and every new engineer then serves a probation period.

4 checks
Application screen

We source engineers across India through LinkedIn, Wellfound, employee referrals and outbound headhunting. Every application is checked for stack relevance, years of experience, English and time zone overlap before it moves to a technical interview.

60 to 90 min
Live coding and scenario questions

A live coding round of 60 to 90 minutes in the primary technology of the candidate, followed by scenario based questions on practical applications of that technology.

3 checks
Project deep dive and background verification

Candidates walk us through a recent production project, covering the architecture decisions and what they would change in hindsight. A third party background verification agency then confirms prior employment, education and identity.

Probation
A probation period follows

New engineers then serve a probation period, and those who do not meet our bar do not continue with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rates run $25 to $50 an hour depending on seniority, and fixed scope projects have a $10,000 minimum. App store accounts and backend services are billed separately by their vendors, such as the Apple Developer Program membership, the Google Play developer registration fee and any Firebase usage above its free quotas. Your cost also depends on how many screens and native integrations the app needs and whether it also ships to web or desktop.
