About the role

Town is hiring a Desktop Engineer to own the macOS client end-to-end, delivering a fast, deeply-integrated native macOS app that operates ambiently and supports the Town AI assistant across tools.

Responsibilities

  • Build and own Town's native macOS app in Swift, SwiftUI, and AppKit — architecture, features, and polish.
  • Go deep on the OS: menu-bar and background agents, global shortcuts, notifications, EventKit, and the Accessibility APIs that let Town understand and act across other apps.
  • Make an always-on client that's genuinely fast and light — low memory, low battery, no jank.
  • Own the release pipeline: code signing, notarization, sandboxing/entitlements, crash reporting, and seamless auto-update.
  • Handle sensitive user data on-device with the security and privacy it deserves, in partnership with our security work.
  • Work closely with the backend and AI teams to bring Town's agent to the desktop natively.
  • Set the craft and performance bar for the desktop experience — and lay the groundwork for future platforms.

Qualifications

  • Have extensive experience building native macOS (and/or iOS) applications, with depth in Swift.
  • Are fluent in both AppKit and SwiftUI and know when to reach for each.
  • Have worked below the UI layer: OS-level APIs, background processes, IPC/XPC, notifications, accessibility.
  • Care about performance and polish
  • Have shipped and owned a Mac app end to end, including signing, notarization, and updates.
  • Want to own a product surface from zero and move at startup speed doing it.
