Flutter Mobile Tech Lead

Who We Are

We are a global technology consultancy with a trademarked, AI-first engineering approach for accelerating the delivery of digital products and revolutionizing platform modernization. We do the right thing, and we do it right. We're proud to be a World Economic Forum New Champion, and a B Corp-certified company.

About Gen-e2

While the market is still largely AI-augmenting delivery, we have reinvented the SDLC to be AI First. Our approach is a game-changer in productivity and quality:

• We now generate 95% of the entire product — code, documentation, infrastructure as code, and even design — with GitHub Copilot.
• The quality consistently exceeds the output of our best traditional engineering teams.
• A product repository houses all product artefacts, giving AI full project context for higher-quality generation.
• A library of rules and prompts defines coding standards, design principles, and security guidelines, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and scalability.

With Gen-e2, we deliver end-to-end products 2–3× faster than traditional approaches, while raising the bar for engineering excellence.
