TL;DR · UI Desktop macOS and iOS Engineer

UI Desktop macOS and IOS Engineer Hybird will join the Cisco AI and Automation team to lead the greenfield development of the Circuit platform's desktop presence. This role involves building a native-grade, cross-platform experience for macOS and Windows that integrates AI-driven productivity tools directly into the user's operating system. The engineer will be responsible for the entire desktop shell, including application lifecycle management, OS-level integrations like system tray notifications and deep linking, and managing secure auto-updates. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Angular, TypeScript, Node.js, and Electron or Tauri to build responsive interfaces from Figma designs. Additionally, the role requires experience with REST APIs, Google Cloud Platform, and implementing WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards. The developer will also manage cross-platform build pipelines, code signing, and native modules using Swift, Objective-C, C++, or C# for performance optimization.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain the Circuit Desktop application for macOS and Windows using Electron or Tauri with an Angular/TypeScript UI.
  • Implement desktop-specific features including system tray icons, native notifications, file system access, and deep linking.
  • Architect secure IPC communication between the UI renderer and main processes using context isolation and sandboxing.
  • Develop AI-driven interfaces for chat and streaming responses while integrating with REST APIs and Node.js services.
  • Manage cross-platform build pipelines, including code signing, notarization, and automated update mechanisms for both operating systems.
  • Integrate native modules in Swift/Objective-C or C++/C# to optimize performance and manage local state via SQLite or IndexedDB.
  • Implement WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards for dynamic AI interfaces, including ARIA live regions and full keyboard support.
  • Deploy supporting services on Google Cloud Platform and contribute to a multi-platform CI/CD matrix.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree with 6+ years, Master's degree with 4+ years, or PhD with 1+ year of experience in Computer Science or a related technical field.
  • Proficiency in Angular, TypeScript/JavaScript, and Node.js to build scalable, component-based UIs from Figma designs.
  • Proven ability to build and ship secure production desktop applications for macOS and Windows using Electron or Tauri.
  • Experience managing cross-platform packaging, code signing, auto-update mechanisms, and deploying services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • Proficiency in Git and Agile methodologies with a focus on implementing advanced accessibility standards like WCAG 2.2 AA.
  • Experience building web-based or desktop AI applications, including LLM/chatbot interfaces and streaming responses (preferred).
  • Proficiency in writing native modules in Swift/Objective-C for macOS or C++/C# and Win32 APIs for Windows (preferred).
  • Experience with multi-platform CI/CD matrices using GitHub Actions and familiarity with Docker (preferred).
