- Build and maintain key capabilities of a desktop application used across operating systems.
- Take full responsibility for delivering features, covering both interface work and native components.
- Create and connect functionality driven by large language models.
- Work alongside teammates on platform-specific native code for Windows and macOS.
- Weigh in on system architecture and help set engineering direction.

- Exceptional depth in one area you care deeply about, shown through things like following AI developments, working with language models or open-source contributions.
- Skill at describing technical choices in plain language to people outside engineering, and willingness to think aloud while solving problems.
- A team-first attitude suited to a small, tightly knit group.
- Meticulous habits and real pride in delivering polished, high-quality work.
- A hands-on, accountable mindset with readiness to take on any task that moves the team forward.
