Original posting

Osaurus | Full-Time | Remote | Protocol Engineer Osaurus is a native macOS AI platform. The core idea: inference is a commodity — everything else (context, memory, tools) should be owned by you, locally. Think of it as the runtime layer for AI on Mac that works with any provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, local models via MLX). 3.7K+ GitHub stars and 54K+ downloads with zero marketing spend. Open source, local-first, provider-agnostic. Looking for a protocol engineer who wants to build agent-to-agent networking and communication infrastructure. You'd be the first hire. What we work with: Swift, macOS native APIs, Apple Silicon optimization, provider-agnostic API layer, plugin architecture. You don't need Swift experience specifically — strong systems fundamentals and the ability to pick things up fast matter more. If this sounds interesting, try the app (https://github.com/osaurus-ai/osaurus), share your GitHub, and tell me what you'd change. t@osaurus.ai
