Software Engineer - Node (100% Remote)

At Holepunch, we are not just developing software; we are redefining the internets architecture to empower users and protect privacy. Our pioneering peer-to-peer (P2P) development platform, built on our open-source technology stack, Pear, eliminates the need for traditional server infrastructure. This revolutionary approach ensures that users maintain full control over their data, with unparalleled privacy and freedom from centralized oversight.

Our platform facilitates direct deployment of applications from the developer’s machine to the user, enabling seamless scalability and performance. By leveraging Node.js-based technology akin to BitTorrent, we create robust peer-to-peer connections and data replication systems that set the foundation for a decentralized web.
