Job description

We are looking for an experienced full-stack/mobile/desktop developer who loves shipping rock-solid cross-platform applications and has a strong interest (or existing experience) in peer-to-peer and distributed systems.

You’ll work in a small, high-impact team alongside the core Holepunch engineers, helping bring fully decentralized apps to hundreds of millions of users worldwide. Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain flagship desktop (Electron) and mobile (React Native) applications that run fully peer-to-peer with zero central servers.
  • Design beautiful, performant cross-platform UX for file sharing, messaging, video calls, and collaborative tools.
  • Integrate and extend the Pear Runtime / Holepunch stack (Hypercore, Hyperdrive, Hyperswarm, etc.).
  • Ship new features rapidly, participate in code reviews, write tests, and optimize performance.
  • Help external partners and the open-source community build on the platform.
  • Occasionally contribute improvements and bug fixes back to the underlying open-source modules.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong production experience with React Native and/or Electron (shipping apps that real users love)
  • Very comfortable with Node.js and modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems
  • Proven experience designing and building local-first applications where the local data model is the primary source of truth
  • Hands-on experience with local-first data technologies (storage, conflict resolution, event sourcing, etc.)
  • Familiarity with cross-platform packaging & deployment
  • Familiarity with end-to-end encryption and secure local storage.
  • Solid grasp of asynchronous programming, networking, and data synchronization concepts
  • Experience with git, code reviews, CI/CD, and collaborative open-source workflows
  • Excellent communication skills (fully remote, global team)

Nice-to-have

  • Background in building productivity tools, media players or developer tools.
  • Knowledge of streaming protocols
  • Experience with file system integrations
  • Experience designing synchronization processes (background sync, sync queues, retry etc.)
