Bare Developer (100% Remote - Worldwide) - C / JavaScript

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.
