📋 Description

• Lead a greenfield rewrite of our desktop client, migrating from native platform-specific code to a unified Rust-based architecture. • Own the complete desktop SDLC—architecture, implementation, release engineering, and ongoing maintenance—across macOS, Linux, and Windows as equal priorities. • Tackle the genuinely hard problems end to end: sync engine internals, deep OS file-system integration, and robust update/release infrastructure—all of which we consider equally critical. • Design and operate a secure auto-updater: signed delivery, signature verification, staged rollouts, rollback, and reliable cross-platform update mechanics. • Define the quality bar for the new codebase from scratch—test strategy, automated coverage, CI/CD, observability, and crash reporting—and hold the product to it. • Manage platform-specific concerns including code signing, notarization, packaging, background services, and native shell/file-system integrations. • Integrate our existing end-to-end encryption layer into the client, ensuring cryptographic operations are correct, performant, and used safely. • Use AI-assisted and agentic development tools (Claude Code, Codex, and similar) to accelerate delivery, and help establish best practices for AI-augmented workflows across the team. • Collaborate with product, security, and backend teams to ship features that scale.

🎯 Requirements

• Significant depth in desktop application development, with a track record of shipping and maintaining production software across macOS, Linux, and Windows. • Strong proficiency in Rust, including async patterns, FFI, and performance optimization. • Hands-on experience with cross-platform desktop frameworks such as Tauri and/or Electron. • Experience leading or anchoring a significant rewrite or greenfield build—you’ve made the foundational architectural calls and lived with the consequences. • Direct experience designing or operating auto-update systems, including secure distribution and code signing/notarization. • Ability to define a testing and quality strategy from a blank slate, not just work within an existing one. • Comfort integrating existing cryptographic libraries correctly; working understanding of E2EE concepts (AES-GCM, key management, client-side encryption). • Comfort and fluency with AI coding tools and agentic workflows—you actively use them and understand their strengths and limits. • Ownership mindset: you treat the desktop product as yours and drive it from architecture to shipped, supported software.

🏖️ Benefits

• Comprehensive health benefits • Flexible remote work • Opportunity to lead the technical direction of a flagship desktop product • High-impact work on a platform trusted by millions of users • A profitable, privately held company investing in long-term product innovation
