About this role
The Role
We're looking for a Tauri Developer to build Pocket’s desktop application from the ground up. This app will serve as the primary desktop experience for our users to interact with their second brain.
You'll own the full lifecycle: architecture, implementation, testing, and shipping. This is a high-impact, role where your decisions will shape the product.
What You'll Build
A cross-platform (macOS, Windows, Linux) desktop app using Tauri 2.x and a modern frontend framework (React)
Real-time sync with Pocket backend APIs for recordings, transcripts, and meeting summaries
Local device management — detecting, pairing, and configuring HeyPocket hardware over USB/Bluetooth
System tray integration, background services, and native OS notifications
Offline support with local caching and sync-when-available logic
Auto-update infrastructure for seamless version rollouts
Deep linking and integration with calendar apps (Google Calendar, Outlook)
What We're Looking For
Strong Rust fundamentals — you're comfortable writing Tauri plugins, commands, and backend logic in Rust
Modern frontend skills — TypeScript + React or Svelte, with an eye for clean, responsive UI
Experience shipping desktop apps — you've built and distributed apps to end users, not just prototypes
Systems-level thinking — comfortable with file I/O, IPC, local databases (SQLite), background processes, and OS-level APIs
API integration experience — RESTful APIs, WebSockets, authentication flows
Cross-platform awareness — you know where macOS, Windows, and Linux diverge and how to handle it gracefully
Nice to Have
Experience with audio processing or media playback
Familiarity with Flutter (our mobile app stack) or willingness to collaborate closely with mobile devs
Experience with AWS services (S3, CloudFront) for asset delivery
Prior work with hardware/device communication (USB, BLE)
Contributions to the Tauri ecosystem or open-source Rust projects
