Software Engineer (Electron.js)

Job Title: Software Engineer (Electron.js) Job Type: Full-time Location: Remote The Role We’re building high-fidelity productivity infrastructure for a globally distributed workforce—software that operates quietly, reliably, and intelligently in the background. As a Software Engineer focused on desktop systems, you’ll help design and scale a cross-platform time intelligence application (MacOS + Windows) used daily by thousands of professionals. What You’ll Work On - Architect and evolve a cross-platform desktop agent using Electron.js, optimized for performance and minimal resource footprint. - Build real-time timekeeping systems with precise event tracking and background execution. - Design and implement system-level signal collection (keyboard, mouse, app usage) with strong privacy and efficiency guarantees. - Develop offline-first data pipelines with reliable background sync and conflict resolution. - Integrate with distributed backend services and internal APIs to enable analytics and reporting. - Continuously improve runtime performance, memory efficiency, and fault tolerance. - Collaborate with product, design, and backend teams to ship features that directly impact user productivity. What We're Looking For - 3+ years building production-grade desktop applications with Electron.js. - Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js. - Experience designing cross-platform systems (MacOS + Windows) with consistent behavior. - Hands-on work with real-time tracking, event streams, or activity monitoring systems. - Familiarity with OS-level APIs for capturing user/system interactions. - Deep understanding of performance optimization in desktop environments. - Strong debugging skills and ability to reason about edge cases in distributed/offline systems. Preferred - Experience building productivity, monitoring, or telemetry-driven applications. - Knowledge of native OS integrations (permissions, background processes, system hooks). - Understanding of security and privacy considerations in user activity tracking. - Familiarity with auto-update systems and release management in Electron.
