  • Experience delivering complex applications across desktop, web, and mobile using Tauri, Electron, React Native, or comparable frameworks.
  • Experience with enterprise software, regulated environments, or similarly complex technical products, including security, privacy, compliance readiness, administration, integrations, and customer-controlled deployment models.
  • Experience with local-first, offline-capable, self-hosted, hybrid, on-premise, air-gapped, or other customer-controlled architectures.
  • Experience improving engineering practices related to planning, code review, release readiness, testing, documentation, CI/CD, maintainability, or technical debt.
  • Excellent communication skills around technical prioritization, release risk, ownership, quality expectations, and tradeoffs.
  • Preferred: Experience working in open-source or maintainer-style engineering environments.
  • Preferred: Experience with compliance or security standards such as SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001.
