About the job

We are seeking a skilled Native Node.js Developer with a strong background in system-level programming and hardware interfacing. This role focuses on building robust command-line tools, desktop applications, and utilities that leverage Node.js’s capabilities (using serial communication, file system operations, and stream processing) rather than traditional server-side web applications. A solid understanding of software engineering principles, particularly SOLID design principles and efficient data structures, is essential. Experience with embedded systems firmware is a significant plus.

Responsibilities:

• Develop Native Node.js Applications:
• Build and maintain command-line tools and desktop applications (using Electron) that interface with hardware components and local resources.
• Serial Communication & Hardware Interfacing:
• Write code to interact with serial ports and other hardware interfaces for device automation and data acquisition.
• File System & Stream Processing:
• Implement efficient file system operations and manage large data streams for tasks like logging, real-time analytics, or data processing.
• Software Architecture & Engineering:
• Apply SOLID principles and design patterns to create maintainable, scalable code. Develop efficient data structures and algorithms tailored to embedded systems.
• Collaborate with Firmware & Hardware Teams:
• Work closely with engineers in embedded systems and firmware to integrate and optimize software-hardware solutions.
• Desktop Application Development:
• Use Electron to create intuitive desktop interfaces that complement the native utilities and tools.
• Testing & Debugging:
• Write comprehensive unit and integration tests, and participate in code reviews to ensure high-quality, reliable software.
• Documentation & Knowledge Sharing:
• Maintain clear and concise documentation of code and processes to support future development and troubleshooting.

Requirements:

• Strong proficiency in native Node.js development (without reliance on heavy server-side frameworks).
• Extensive experience with serial communication, file system operations (fs), and stream processing.
• Familiarity with Electron for building desktop applications.
• Solid understanding of SOLID principles, data structures, and design patterns.
• Prior experience with embedded systems or firmware integration is a major plus.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic, innovative environment.

Bonus:

• Experience with command-line tool development or automation scripting.
• Familiarity with TypeScript or modern JavaScript (ES6+).
• Contributions to open-source projects in the Node.js or Electron communities.
