You’ll play a critical role in building and scaling our cross-platform application, working across the stack -from modern TypeScript frontends to native system-level integrations - with a strong emphasis on performance, reliability, and user experience.
This is a highly technical role for someone who’s excited to work at the intersection of desktop software, native development, and AI integration, and who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
What you'll do
- Design, build, and maintain core features of an Electron desktop application
- Own end-to-end implementation of user-facing and infrastructure features, from UI to native modules
- Develop and integrate LLM-based functionality
- Collaborate on native code written in C++ (Windows) and Swift (macOS)
- Help make architectural decisions and contribute to the technical direction of the company
Profile
