## About the team

Flutter is the most popular multi-platform UI toolkit, with support
for desktop, mobile, and web applications. The team is constantly
looking to improve integration, performance, and fidelity for each
native platform. We’re seeking software engineers who have the skills
and experience to help us with all that on the macOS platform.

The Flutter Desktop Team is responsible for the desktop-specific
(Windows, macOS, Linux) embeddings of the Flutter engine, which
includes enabling platform plugins, nesting platform views inside
Flutter apps, and wiring-up accessibility hooks on those platforms –
and anything else that helps Flutter feel “native” when run in those
environments.

## About the position

In the "macOS Engineer" role you'll be part of the team that makes
Flutter apps the absolute best they can be when running on macOS, including:

* Designing and building multi-window support.
* Building support for macOS system menu integration.
* Integrating Flutter with system services like accessibility,
file selection, printing, clipboard, drag and drop.
* Adding support for nesting macOS UI views inside Flutter apps.
* Delivering outstanding performance on macOS.
* Nurturing a thriving community of contributions from open-source
developers by reviewing GitHub issues and pull requests.

## Our values

### Mentorship

Upon joining Google, you will be paired with a formal mentor,
who will help guide you in the process of ramping up, forging relationships,
and learning the systems you’ll need to do your job. Your manager can also
help you find mentors who can coach you as you navigate your career at Google.
In addition to formal mentors, we work and train together so that we are
always learning from one another, and we celebrate and support the career progression
of our team members.

### Inclusion

Here on the Flutter team and at Google,
we embrace our differences and are
[committed to furthering our culture of inclusion](https://flutter.dev/culture).
In addition to groups like the [Flutteristas](https://flutteristas.org/),
[Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)](https://diversity.google/commitments/)
are employee-initiated networks for supporting underrepresented employees
and their allies with shared values of creating belonging across their communities and Google.

### Work-Life Balance

Our team also puts a high value on work-life balance.
Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life
is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren’t
focused on how many hours you spend at work or online. Instead,
we’re happy to offer a flexible schedule so you can have a more productive
and well-balanced life—both in and outside of work.
