About Us

We’re building a next-generation AI personal assistant — a cross-device digital butler that

listens, understands intent, and executes real-world tasks like booking flights or securely

fetching files from your laptop.

Unlike chatbots, our platform focuses on real action-taking AI.

We’re an early-stage, founder-led startup moving fast and building ambitiously.

We’re now hiring a Device Agent Engineer to build the lightweight desktop client that

powers cross-device automation.

Role Overview:

You will build a secure background agent that runs on user laptops (Windows/macOS),

maintains a persistent connection to our backend, and executes commands like file search

& secure upload.

This is a systems-level engineering role — perfect for developers who enjoy networking, OS

internals, security, and backend interaction.

You’ll work directly with the AI/ML Lead to ensure the agent integrates safely and reliably

into the AI platform.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Build a cross-platform desktop agent using Python or Go

• Maintain a persistent WebSocket (or gRPC) connection with the backend

• Implement:

• Heartbeats & connection monitoring

• Command execution queue

• File search across directories

• Secure file upload pipeline

• Enforce permissions & directory restrictions

• Handle:

• retries

• reconnection logic

• graceful failure recovery

• Package the agent into easy-installable binaries (Win/macOS)

• Ensure minimal resource usage (CPU/memory)

• Implement logging, diagnostics & basic telemetry

• Work closely with backend & mobile teams to test end-to-end flows

Security & Reliability (Critical):

• Transport encrypted end-to-end

• No unauthorized file access

• Sanitise/validate paths

• Protect API keys & config

• Avoid exposing sensitive system data

• Build with privacy-first mindset

• Ensure agent stability under network dropsYou’re a Great Fit If You Have:

• 3–6+ years experience in backend / systems development

• Strong skills in Python or Go

• Experience with:

• WebSockets / persistent connections

• File system programming

• Async / multi-threaded apps

• OS-level scripting or tools

• Strong debugging skills & attention to detail

• Passion for building real, user-impactful tech

• Comfort working in lean, fast-moving startups

Bonus Points:

• Experience with:

• Security or encryption

• Remote access / desktop utilities

• Cross-platform packaging

• Networking protocols

• Awareness of privacy & data protection standards

Shortlisting Questions (attach answers when applying):

1. Share examples of desktop agents, CLI tools, or automation services you’ve

built.

2. Describe your experience with WebSockets or long-running connections.

3. How would you secure file transfers & prevent unauthorized access?

4. Primary OS/platform experience?

5. Availability & timezone?
