Job Description
Please Read First: Specific skill set needed. I am a retired 25-year federal law enforcement and intelligence unit practitioner building CaseLight. CaseLight is an offline-first, secure Windows desktop application engineered to replace the chaotic, multi-app workflows used by 50,000+ independent private sector intelligence firms and rural police departments who are priced out of enterprise tech. By utilizing a local-first Tauri/Rust framework and an encrypted SQLite sandbox, CaseLight automates forensic data layout and locks down an unalterable digital chain of custody, completely bypassing cloud-hosting liabilities, third-party subpoena exposure, and infrastructure overhead. Core Architecture Requirements: This is a low-level native systems role. We are explicitly filtering for senior developers with verified production experience in Tauri, Rust, SQLite/SQLCipher, and React. Mandatory Specialized Capabilities: - OS-Level Multi-Threading: Deep experience writing asynchronous background channels in Rust to process multi-gigabyte file payloads without blocking the UI main thread. - Local Cryptography: Practical implementation of on-board SHA-256 hashing, metadata preservation, and runtime SQLCipher database encryption entirely on local client hardware. - Memory Optimization: Expert understanding of the Rust borrow checker and native Windows execution constraints to ensure ultra-low RAM footprint sandboxing. If your background is primarily in cloud-dependent web architectures, standard mobile apps, or if you represent an offshore agency, please pass on this listing so we can protect each other's time. The Traction & Terms: Fully incorporated as a Delaware C-Corp (CaseLight Systems Inc.). Our multi-window desktop wireframe maps are complete and our comprehensive 12-section technical requirements specifications manual is 100% development-ready. This isn't an un-fleshed-out idea project; I have it all mapped out in black and white. Active Seed Pipeline
