Bare Developer (100% Remote - Worldwide)

We need someone who is equally comfortable writing C and JavaScript. The Bare team builds and maintains the runtime itself along with a growing ecosystem of native modules (bare-bluetooth, bare-tcp, bare-fs, bare-crypto, and many more). You would be writing native addons that bridge platform APIs into JavaScript, debugging across multiple operating systems, and helping keep the runtime small and correct.

This is a hands-on systems role. You will work independently, own modules end to end, and ship code that runs on phones, laptops, servers, and constrained devices.

Native module development

• Design, implement, and ship bare-* native modules (e.g., bare-bluetooth, bare-tcp, bare-fs, bare-crypto) end to end, including code, and tests
• Write C native addons that bridge platform APIs (Bluetooth, networking, filesystem, crypto) into JavaScript
• Maintain and extend existing native modules based on product team requests and the bare-node compatibility list

Cross-platform builds and CI

• Set up and maintain cross-platform builds for macOS, Linux, Android (NDK), and iOS (Xcode)
• Own cross-compilation toolchain configuration for each target platform
• Maintain CI pipelines that build and test native modules across all supported platforms
• Investigate and fix platform-specific build failures and toolchain issues

Bare Runtime contributions

• Contribute to the Bare runtime core (module system, native addon system, light-weight threads)
• Help reduce the bare-node missing API surface
• Participate in evaluating and integrating alternative JS engines eg libjerry

Debugging and quality

• Debug native addon issues across multiple OS and device targets, including mobile
• Write and maintain tests for all modules

Collaboration and communication

• Respond to Bare team inquiries from internal teams and the public.
• Communicate progress, blockers, and decisions in writing .
• Participate in a weekly status call.
• Participate in Bare workshops and contribute to onboarding materials.
• Coordinate with product teams (Keet, WDK/Wallet).
