San Francisco, CA (5 Days Onsite)
$200K–$300K Base + Competitive Equity
We're partnering with a well-funded AI startup ($50M+ raised) building a next-generation desktop AI assistant designed to transform how knowledge workers interact with software.
Their platform sits directly within the desktop environment, understands context across applications, and enables users to execute tasks, automate workflows, and interact with AI without constantly switching between tools.
With a lean engineering team and significant product momentum, they're looking for exceptional engineers who want to help define the future of AI-native software.
What You'll Do:
- Build and scale a cross-platform desktop application using TypeScript, React, Node.js, Electron, Swift, and C++
- Own features end-to-end, from architecture and implementation through deployment and production support
- Develop AI-powered product experiences leveraging LLMs, workflow automation, and contextual desktop intelligence
- Solve complex performance, reliability, and systems challenges across desktop and backend infrastructure
- Contribute directly to technical strategy, architecture decisions, and product direction
What They're Looking For:
- 5–10 years of software engineering experience
- Strong full-stack background with TypeScript, React, and Node.js
- Experience building production systems with high ownership and autonomy
- Exposure to desktop applications, Electron, Swift, C++, or systems-level development is highly desirable
- Interest in AI-native products, developer tooling, or productivity software
- Comfortable operating in fast-paced startup environments
Ideal Backgrounds:
- Early-stage startups
- AI product companies
- Developer tools and productivity platforms
- Former founders or engineers with notable side projects/open-source contributions
Why Join?
- Small team, massive ownership
- Build at the intersection of AI, desktop infrastructure, and user experience
- Influence product and technical direction from an early stage
- Strong compensation and meaningful equity upside
- Opportunity to shape how millions of users interact with AI-powered software
If you're excited about building ambitious products, solving hard technical problems, and having outsized impact, we'd love to speak with you.
