About the 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
- — RESTful APIs, WebSockets, authentication flows
