About the Role
We’re hiring a Full Stack Software Engineer to build and evolve the systems that power the Codex desktop app and IDE extension. This product-minded role involves designing clean boundaries between UI, local services, and native processes, and making the whole system observable and resilient.
Key Responsibilities
- →Build end-to-end features across the Electron app (UI + Node/TypeScript backend layers).
- →Design robust integrations with the Codex CLI and app server (Rust), including process lifecycle, streaming output, and error handling.
- →Own IPC architecture and patterns (renderer/main boundaries, message schemas, backpressure, safety, debugging).
- →Build systems for orchestration: long-running tasks, incremental progress updates, cancellation, retries, and state synchronization.
- →Improve reliability, observability, and performance (logging/tracing/metrics, profiling, crash/debug tooling).
- →Partner with design and product to turn ambiguous needs into crisp, shippable workflows.
Requirements
- ✓Strong TypeScript/Node fundamentals and experience owning product features end-to-end.
- ✓Experience with Electron or desktop app architecture (renderer/main separation, performance pitfalls, packaging/release concerns).
- ✓Comfortable integrating with native processes/services (e.g., Rust) and designing clean, testable boundaries.
- ✓Knowledge of IPC patterns and distributed-systems-like thinking applied locally: message ordering, buffering, backpressure, retries, idempotency.
- ✓Strong product judgment and ability to iterate based on real usage and feedback.
- ✓Experience with developer tools, CLIs, or IDE integrations (nice-to-have).
