Senior Mac engineer
Electron, Swift and Core Audio around a Node bridge: her hearing, her voice, her Heart, and the helpers that drive macOS. You have shipped a native Mac app people rely on.
Riyadh or remote Full time
We are a start-up in Riyadh building the assistant we wanted for ourselves. If you have ever wished your computer would just do it, you'll fit.
Everyone at NOVA uses Nova to do their job, every day. That is not a slogan; it is how we find out what is wrong before a customer does. The founder runs his companies through her. The engineers ship through her. Support answers with her at their side.
We hire people who have done the thing before and want to do it properly this time. We write more than we meet. We ship weekly, in both languages, and we say what we broke in the changelog. Riyadh is home; remote is fine for the right person in a nearby time zone.
Arabic is not a nice-to-have here. If you speak it, you'll help her sound like a person. If you don't, you'll work beside people who do.
Write to us with the role in the subject, a few lines about yourself, and something you made. No forms.

Bring her to Windows 11: the same bridge, the same manners, a new platform layer. You know Win32 and WASAPI well enough to make her hear and speak there.
Whisper, local TTS, Arabic phonetics, wake-word robustness in noisy rooms. You care that «يا نوفا» works from across the office.
Her face, her panels, the installer, the site. You design for a someone, not a something, and you can draw the state of a system in a glance.
The first person our Arabic customers meet. You'll answer in both languages, turn patterns into fixes, and write the help center with us.
If you are unusually good at something Nova needs and it isn't here, write anyway. Half the team joined that way.
