AI / Systems Engineer
Own the desktop capture, trace generation, and evaluation evidence infrastructure behind NeoHuman. You will work at the boundary between operating systems, desktop apps, multimodal data capture, LLM-based normalization, and assessment pipelines. The core challenge: building a trustworthy system that reconstructs a candidate's real work session across macOS and Windows without relying on a browser extension.
Responsibilities
- - Build cross-platform desktop session capture for macOS and Windows: app activity, accessibility trees, OCR snapshots, clipboard events, keyboard/mouse, file interactions
- - Turn noisy low-level signals into clean human-readable session timelines
- - Design data model and ingestion pipeline for AI competency evaluation evidence
- - Build robust fallback logic across AX/UIA, OCR, keyboard triggers, and video segments
- - Use LLMs carefully to summarise and structure session traces without hallucinating
- - Own Electron packaging, native helpers, permission flows, auto-updates, and crash handling
- - Maintain PostgreSQL/Supabase schemas, storage flows, async jobs, and replay assets
Benefits & Perks
Requirements
- - Strong production engineering experience with TypeScript and Node.js
- - Experience building desktop or system-level software (Electron + native helpers ideal)
- - Strong PostgreSQL — schema design, migrations, indexing, data quality constraints
- - Comfortable with OS APIs, permissions, background processes, cross-platform differences
- - Hands-on LLM API experience: structured output, summarisation, hallucination control
- - Security and privacy mindset around sensitive user activity, PII, and audit requirements
