Role
Who you are
- Strong experience in building desktop apps with Electron
- Experience with app development for both Windows and Mac
- Experience with the full lifecycle of desktop apps including architecture, design best practices, and release management
- Excited to bring ideas to the table, and eager to learn
- Enjoy having top-to-bottom ownership of new features, including crafting technical specs, writing readable and extensible code, and keeping tabs on post-release metrics
- Have 5+ years of programming experience (this can include personal projects, internships, co-ops, or anything you think is relevant)
What the job involves
- Hi there 👋 I'm Alexandra Sunderland, Director of Engineering at Fellow, and I’m looking to hire a Senior Desktop Engineer specialized in Electron, to help build out our desktop app and to join our mission of making meetings effective for everyone
- At Fellow, you’ll get to work on a team that’s passionate about learning, helping each other out, and producing high quality products and code at the intersection of meeting productivity and AI. Our desktop app is becoming an increasingly important part of our focus, and we're looking to hire our first engineer dedicated full-time to its development
- Lead the development of our existing desktop app by setting the standards, and making optimizations to existing code
- Build brand new exciting interfaces, experiences, and ways of interacting with our desktop app
- Constantly experimenting and building with new AI technologies, and LLMs, and discovering ways to use them to improve the Meeting experience
- Work directly with our team of designers, product leads, and QA analysts to create intuitive interfaces and great experiences
- Collaborate closely with teammates to build new features and participate in constructive code reviews
- Contribute to our CI pipeline by writing unit tests, regression tests, and integration tests for your code
- Always be learning from each other and contributing back to the team
- Write and contribute to technical specs, define and monitor release metrics
- Work with product, design, and engineering leaders to scope, break down, and build projects
- Promote engineering best practices to the team, and lead the way in adopting new technologies and methodologies
- We ship projects quickly: Build cycles are 8 weeks long, during which your focus is on your project. No weekly sprint planning meetings here! A great deal of care is put into breaking down projects to fit into the cycle while allowing for proper QA process, thorough code review throughout, and written tests
- Our CI pipeline, linting, thoughtfully designed code structure, and strong partnerships with the product team allow for us to keep this velocity while maintaining exceptionally high code quality
- We care a lot about the engineering community: Many members of the team are strong contributors to OSS, publish blog posts with software tutorials, and speak at conferences and local meetups
Our take
The quality and quantity of meetings has long been a problem in many workplaces, and the shift to remote/hybrid work over recent years has pushed it to boiling point. It’s no surprise then that meeting-optimization software company Fellow has found plenty of success in the space.
Fellow is a secure AI meeting assistant that helps teams run better meetings by automatically capturing notes, action items, and summaries. It works across Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, and also integrates with tools like Slack, Salesforce, and Asana. Unlike other AI tools, Fellow never trains on clients data and gives them full control over who sees what, making it a standout choice in the growing meeting productivity space.
Whilst Fellow’s offering seems more comprehensive and customizable than competitors like GoogleDocs and Hugo, the comparison becomes tighter against Adam.ai and Docket. That said, the company has attracted big-name clients like Motorola, Shopify, and Uber, which should help it compete as the market evolves.
