Enterprise-Level Windows Desktop Communications Agent
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
## **Project Title**
**Senior Windows Desktop Developer – Enterprise Communications Agent**
---
## **Project Summary**
We are building a **native Windows desktop background agent** for enterprise use.
The agent runs on employee devices and receives centrally managed messages to display:
* Modal pop-up alerts
* Scrolling banners / tickers
* **Desktop wallpaper updates**
* **Windows lock screen messaging**
This is a **production-grade, long-term product**, not a prototype.
---
## **Key Requirements**
* Native **Windows desktop app** (EXE / MSI)
* **C# / .NET** (WinUI 3, WPF, or WinForms)
* Runs in background (system tray and/or service)
* Auto-start on boot
* Secure backend communication (REST + real-time messaging)
* Fully remote-configurable (no hardcoded behaviours)
---
## **Mandatory Capabilities**
* Modal and non-dismissable alerts
* Scrolling tickers
* **Programmatic desktop wallpaper control**
* **Programmatic Windows lock screen image updates**
* Windows 10 & 11 support
---
## **Enterprise Expectations**
* Silent MSI installation
* Auto-update or controlled rollout
* Works under standard (non-admin) users
* Logging and basic diagnostics
* Clean, modular, well-documented code
*(No black-box binaries)*
---
## **Deliverables**
* Source code (repo owned by us)
* Installer (MSI or equivalent)
* Build & deployment documentation
* Technical handover
---
## **Required Experience**
* Proven **native Windows desktop development**
* Strong **C# / .NET**
* Background agents / Windows services
* Wallpaper and lock screen control
* API & real-time messaging integration
---
## **What This Is NOT**
Not a Web app
Not a Mobile app
Not a No-code / low-code project
---
## **How to Apply**
Please share:
1. Examples of **Windows desktop/system-level apps** you’ve built
2. Your proposed **technical approach**
3. Estimated MVP timeline
**Screening question:**
> How would you safely implement wallpaper and lock screen updates on Windows 10/11
