About the job

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).

  • Strong C programming skills, including experience writing and debugging native code across platforms.

  • Advanced JavaScript skills with a solid understanding of Node.js internals and the module ecosystem.

  • Experience building native addons for Node.js or similar runtimes (N-API, node-gyp, or equivalent).

  • Familiarity with libuv or other asynchronous I/O frameworks.

  • Comfortable working across macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS build toolchains.

  • Experience with cross-compilation and platform-specific system APIs (Bluetooth, networking, filesystem).

  • Ability to read and navigate large C and C++ codebases.

  • Self-directed work style with strong written communication skills.
