Hey,
I’m working with a team to develop a
cross-platform desktop system (Mac and Windows) that runs continuously in the background and tracks user activity with high precision in real-time.
This is not a typical CRUD/web role.
We’re dealing with:
- real-time event tracking (keyboard, mouse, app usage)
- background processes and system-level behavior
- offline-first data + sync
- performance + memory constraints in Electron apps
Tech:- Electron.js
- Node.js / TypeScript
- Cross-platform (MacOS + Windows)
Compensation$70 – $110/hour (depending on experience)
$150,000 - $220,000/year
What we’re looking for- Experience building production Electron apps
- Strong understanding of performance optimization in desktop environments
- Worked with event streams / real-time systems
- Comfortable reasoning about edge cases, system behavior, and failures
Not a fit if- You’ve only used Electron for simple wrappers
- No experience with performance-sensitive or long-running apps
Why is this role interesting?- System runs continuously → correctness matters
- You’ll work on low-level behavior, not just UI
- Real constraints: CPU, memory, OS differences
If this sounds like your kind of problem space, comment or DM with:
- one system you built (especially Electron / real-time)
- What kind of load or constraints did you handle
I’ll share more details + next steps.
