Qualifications

  • 6-8 years of experience
  • Proficiency in systems or backend language (e.g. Rust, C++, C, Java, Kotlin, Swift)
  • Strong frontend experience (React or similar)
  • Hands-on cross-platform desktop framework experience (Tauri, Electron, or similar) or cross-platform mobile framework experience (React Native, Flutter, or similar)
  • Solid native platform knowledge (macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android), including packaging, signing, and filesystem/device access
  • Extensive experience building production desktop or mobile applications in mission-critical environments
  • Experience with filesystems, removable media, binary formats, or device-specific data preparation workflows
  • Strong testing mindset and ability to diagnose complex, device-dependent production issues
  • Experience using AI coding assistants while maintaining strong engineering judgment and code ownership
  • Able to operate independently as a senior individual contributor, with strong communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Tauri, Rust, and React in a production environment
  • Experience with both desktop and mobile application development
  • Aviation, avionics, or navigation/charting data experience
  • Experience with code signing/notarization and cross-platform CI/CD release pipelines
  • Experience with mobile app store release pipelines and CI/CD
  • Experience with hardware/device lab testing
  • Experience establishing safe agentic engineering workflows for complex codebases and production systems

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision insurance with Employer paid health premiums
  • Open PTO Policy
  • 401(k) with up to 10% company matching and immediate vesting
  • 12 Weeks Paid Maternity Leave
