As a Senior TypeScript/Electron Engineer on the Desktop Native team, you will build secure, reliable desktop experiences that connect the Bitwarden Electron application with native OS capabilities. You will focus on the TypeScript and Electron side of features such as Autotype, the SSH agent, and the DuckDuckGo integration, collaborating closely with Rust engineers and teams working on the vault and desktop platform. This role is primarily for someone strong in TypeScript, Electron, and modern application development who enjoys solving cross-platform challenges in a zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted product. Rust expertise is a plus, not a requirement.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Design, build, and maintain TypeScript/Electron components for Desktop Native features, including Autotype, the SSH agent, and the DuckDuckGo integration.
• Develop end-to-end desktop workflows across Angular/TypeScript UI, Electron main and preload processes, and Node.js integrations.
• Work with Rust engineers to integrate native modules, well-defined application interfaces, and OS-level capabilities on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Design and maintain secure IPC and native integration boundaries, with particular care for sensitive credential data.
• Partner with product, design, QA, Platform, and Vault teams to deliver reliable, user-friendly experiences across the desktop application.
• Improve performance, reliability, accessibility, and maintainability through automated tests and cross-platform debugging.
• Review pull requests and help raise the quality of TypeScript/Electron engineering, including community contributions on GitHub.
• Identify technical debt and contribute to pragmatic refactoring, architecture improvements, and technical documentation.
• Participate in technical design discussions, code reviews, and sharing knowledge across the team.
• Independently plan, estimate, and deliver new feature work and bug fixes in a collaborative, distributed engineering environment.

WHAT YOU BRING TO BITWARDEN

• Strong production TypeScript/JavaScript experience — 4–6+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Hands-on experience developing Electron desktop applications, including main and renderer processes, preload scripts, and IPC.
• Experience with Angular or a comparable modern front-end framework, and building maintainable user-facing applications.
• Strong understanding of Node.js, asynchronous application code, and secure handling of sensitive data across process boundaries.
• Experience testing, debugging, and shipping applications across desktop operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Experience using AI tooling in your development and testing workflow (Anthropic Claude preferred).
• Familiarity with Rust, native Node.js modules (N-API), or OS-level integrations is a plus, not a requirement.
• Collaborative and adaptable mindset.
• Openness and authenticity combined with excellent communication skills.
• Excitement and enthusiasm for open source and for better internet security.
• Excellent problem-solving skills – you might not know all the answers, but you know how to find and communicate the solution.
