About the company
Our client is an AI company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the architecture, reliability and native feel of a desktop client application for a personal computer platform, and build system-level features that read screen context and handle device input. The role pairs senior client engineering with close attention to how the application behaves across a wide range of machines.
What you'll do
- Own the architecture and reliability of a desktop application built with Electron.
- Make the application feel native across the full range of PC hardware it runs on.
- Build system-level features that interact with on-screen context and device control.
- Guide the design of shared client foundations that other developers rely on.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Hands-on experience building desktop software for a personal computer platform, or extensive client-side development alongside a clear drive to specialize in that platform.
- Routine personal use of the desktop operating system the role targets.
- Past work on a consumer-scale product with a broad audience.
- Familiarity with platform interface guidelines, including tray icon and taskbar behavior, hotkeys, and building interfaces that feel like the operating system's own apps.
- A track record of creating foundational software layers that a team of developers later relied on, rather than only extending code someone else structured.
- Based in a US time zone.
Bonus points
- Exposure to system-level integration work, such as assistive technology interfaces, reading on-screen content or driving input programmatically.
- Experience with the Electron framework.
