Bun | Software Engineer (systems, runtime, i/o) | Fulltime | Onsite in San Francisco | https://bun.sh

Bun is an open-source JavaScript tooling company focused on making programming simpler. Today, Bun is a JavaScript runtime designed to be a faster drop-in replacement for Node.js, along with an incredibly fast npm client, jest-compatible test runner, and JavaScript transpiler, minifier, and bundler.

We're hiring systems engineers to come to San Francisco and help us make JavaScript faster and more productive. This role will involve lots of open-source low-level systems work, mostly in Bun's GitHub repo - https://github.com/oven-sh/bun and also in a commercial hosting product.

Most of our code is in Zig and C++ and open-source. To see what we do every day, have a look at the recent pull requests.



I love reading your guys's code releases, always some interesting zig stuff in there! Wish you were hiring in Europe :)


Really love Bun, I talked about migrating my project to Bun on Twitter, and Jarred found and replied almost immediately!


Why would you limit the geography for an open source project?


Anyone can contribute to Bun, but we only hire IRL (and we help with relocation + visa).

Bun is an extremely context-heavy product and being IRL makes it a lot easier to help each other when we get stuck and explain things. I think if we half-heartedly did remote it would just be worse for everyone than being one extreme of either fully in-person or fully remote.

We chose fully in-person, but it would be so interesting to see the alternate timeline where we chose fully remote.


Open source and WFH are orthogonal.


I believe these are pretty tangential.


Just wanted to say I love Bun.
