About this role
At Holepunch, we are not just developing software; we are redefining the internet's architecture. Our pioneering P2P development platform, built on our open-source technology stack, Pear, eliminates the need for traditional server infrastructure. Pear 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.
