The Role

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 seamless 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.
Note: this is an on-site role, requiring five days a week in our SF office.
Job Responsibilities
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
