engineer

not

this might not be a good fit if:

• •you prefer backend work and don't care about ui polish
• •you need detailed specs or prefer to focus on isolated tasks
• •you see code review as bureaucracy rather than craft
• •you move fast by cutting corners or accumulating technical debt
• •you are uncomfortable using ai tools to accelerate development
• •you are looking for a short-term contract or advisory role

why

hyprnote is a product-led company. quality directly impacts retention, trust, and growth.

right now, engineering execution is our main bottleneck. product direction is clear and marketing strategy is strong, but code quality and consistency depend too much on the founder.

we are looking for a product-minded engineer to take real ownership of code quality across the stack, act as first-line reviewer, and help the team move faster without compromising standards.

this is the highest leverage hire we can make right now.

a few real numbers, just for context:

• •app week 5 retention is 38%
• •app dau is growing 30 percent week-over-week
• •web conversion rate is 9.2%
• •github has 7.4k stars
• •mrr is growing 10.1% month-over-month

you will be working with a small, high-trust team that values craft, clarity, and long-term thinking over hype.

what

you will:

• •own code quality and consistency across the desktop app and web platform
• •build features end-to-end with tauri, rust, and typescript
• •act as first-line code reviewer, reducing founder review load
• •ensure ui quality matches user expectations
• •harness ai tools to move faster without sacrificing quality

success looks like:

• •quality = great user experience + clean code, consistently
• •founder review time drops significantly, team moves faster
• •code reviews feel obvious, not debated
• •the app feels stable, fast, and polished across platforms

who

you are likely a good fit if you are:

• •an engineer who cares deeply about user experience
• •fast, independent, and comfortable with ownership
• •uncompromising on both code quality and ui polish
• •experienced with tauri, rust, and typescript
• •skilled at using ai tools to accelerate development
• •someone who prefers responsibility over rigid scope
