Senior / Staff Full-Stack Engineer - AI Desktop Platform
📍 San Francisco, CA (5 Days In-Office)
💰 $200K - $300K Base + Competitive Equity
🛂 Visa Sponsorship Available (H-1B Transfers, OPT, TN Welcome)
I'm partnering with a high-growth AI company that's building one of the most exciting AI-native desktop experiences in the productivity space.
Their AI assistant doesn't just answer questions. It sees everything on your screen, understands context across every app you use, and helps you work 10x faster. Following a $40M Series A led by Khosla Ventures and exceptional user growth, they're expanding their engineering team and hiring multiple Senior and Staff Full-Stack Engineers to help build the platform behind this revolutionary desktop assistant.
This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of desktop software, native development, and AI integration, building a cross-platform application that's redefining how knowledge workers interact with their computers.
What You'll Do
You'll take ownership of core platform capabilities that power the AI assistant experience, working closely with product, AI, and infrastructure teams.
Key responsibilities include:
Designing, building, and maintaining core features of an Electron desktop application that works across Windows and macOS.
Owning end-to-end implementation of user-facing and infrastructure features, from modern TypeScript frontends to native system-level integrations.
Developing and integrating LLM-based functionality that powers screen context awareness, call transcription, and intelligent automation.
Collaborating on native code written in C++ (Windows) and Swift (macOS).
Architecting systems for performance, reliability, and seamless user experience at scale.
Helping make architectural decisions and contributing to the technical direction of the company.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for engineers who have built and shipped production software at startup speed, not just maintained legacy systems.
You'll ideally have:
5-10 years of software engineering experience, with a strong backend or full-stack leaning.
Experience building products from 0 to 1 or helping scale products through periods of rapid growth in an early-stage, hypergrowth environment.
Strong experience with TypeScript and Node.js; React experience is a plus.
Experience with Electron, C++, or Swift is highly beneficial.
A product mindset with the ability to balance technical excellence with business impact.
A genuine passion for AI. You read research papers, build side projects with LLMs, or have passion projects in the space.
Startup or founder experience showing end-to-end delivery on AI-native tools is a strong plus.
Why Join?
This is a chance to join a business with exceptional momentum. Highlight AI just raised a $40M Series A from Khosla Ventures, with participation from General Catalyst, Valor Equity, SV Angel, and others. They're planning to double headcount and are in hypergrowth mode.
You'll solve challenging engineering problems at the intersection of desktop software and AI, work alongside a high-calibre team, and have a genuine opportunity to influence the architecture of a category-defining AI product.
If you're passionate about full-stack engineering, native desktop development, and building production AI products, I'd love to hear from you.
