• Manage core development infrastructure including framework upgrades, build processes, packaging, and release readiness
• Debug and resolve complex cross‑platform issues in a multi‑language codebase (Windows/macOS/Linux)
• Maintain code quality through automated testing, code reviews, and clear documentation
• Drive continuous improvements in architecture, processes, and tooling

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience delivering production applications

  Electron experience strongly preferred
• Experience integrating C++ components with JavaScript runtimes (e.g., native Node modules via Node‑API/N‑API or comparable approaches)
• Experience debugging cross‑platform applications and working effectively in multi‑language codebases
• Familiarity with modern front‑end fundamentals (HTML, CSS) and UI engineering best practices
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

• Experience shipping Electron applications at scale, including packaging/signing and release processes across Windows/macOS
• Experience with Electron security best practices (context isolation, sandboxing, secure IPC patterns)
• Experience profiling and optimizing desktop apps (startup time, memory usage, CPU utilization)
• Familiarity with automated testing for desktop apps (unit/integration/e2e) and CI/CD pipelines
