About the Role
A1 is building a proactive AI chat app for everyday users to bring intelligence to conversations, errands, organising and workflows.
Unlike traditional chat-based applications, our product focuses on achieving high reliability for long-running workflows, persistent context, and real-world task completion.
The system must handle multi-step reasoning, interact with external tools, and remain reliable despite non-deterministic model behavior.
You will own how this system behaves on desktop environments. Your work focuses on reliability, performance, and real-time behavior in production desktop applications.
- Focus
- Build and maintain cross-platform desktop applications using Electron.
- Design responsive and scalable UIs for real-time collaboration.
- Implement desktop-specific functionality including file system access, native notifications, auto-updates, and deep linking.
- Integrate AI-powered features (chat, agents, AI assistance) via backend APIs.
- Optimize startup time, memory usage, and runtime performance.
- Profile and reduce Electron overhead.
- Manage large local state and message history efficiently.
- Ensure smooth real-time updates (messages, typing indicators, presence).
- Maintain stability across mac OS and Windows environments.
- Ideal Experiences
- Proven software engineering experience.
- Hands-on experience building production Electron applications.
- Strong proficiency in Java Script and Type Script.
- Experience with React or similar UI frameworks.
- Solid understanding of the desktop application lifecycle.
- Experience with IPC communication.
- Experience working with local storage (SQLite, Indexed DB, filesystem).
- Experience with Web Sockets or other real-time transport mechanisms.
- Strong debugging and performance profiling skills.
- Familiarity with native OS behaviors on mac OS or Windows.
- Tech Stack
