Company

A1 is building a proactive AI smart assistant for everyday users to bring intelligence to conversations, errands, organising and workflows.

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.

Role

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 macOS and Windows environments.

 

Ideal Experiences

  • Proven software engineering experience.

  • Hands-on experience building production Electron applications.

  • Strong proficiency in JavaScript and TypeScript.

  • Experience with React or similar UI frameworks.

  • Solid understanding of the desktop application lifecycle.

  • Experience with IPC communication.

  • Experience working with local storage (SQLite, IndexedDB, filesystem).

  • Experience with WebSockets or other real-time transport mechanisms.

  • Strong debugging and performance profiling skills.

  • Familiarity with native OS behaviors on macOS or Windows.

 

Tech Stack

  • Electron

  • Node.js

  • Typescript

  • SQl & noSQL
