Application Engineer

Highlights

• Own the Jan desktop app end to end, from architecture to user distribution.
• Build a private, open-source AI agent already in the hands of millions.
• Ship a general-purpose agent that works on its own until the job is done.

Ideal candidate

A product-minded builder who thrives with full ownership and ambiguity, cares about craft, performance, and shipping, and defaults to orchestrating AI agents while knowing when to hand-write critical code.

Requirements

• Full-stack engineer, strong in React and Node.js.
• Hands-on experience building and shipping Tauri apps.
• Working knowledge of Rust.
• Desktop app development and cross-platform distribution experience.
• Solid Linux skills: packaging, distribution, and environment quirks.
• Proven ownership of app packaging, builds, and release pipelines.
• An agent-native default workflow and the judgment to hand-write critical code when it matters.
• Comfortable with full ownership, ambiguity, and shipping fast.
