We are looking for an ambitious WebContainer Systems Engineer who wants to join a small, fast-growing 100% remote team working on bringing software development fully into the browser. In this role, you’ll be working on systems engineering for WebContainer, the first-ever in-browser WebAssembly-based operating system. If you’re interested in the convergence happening with WebAssembly, Nodejs, Operating Systems, and Browser Engines, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work on the next revolution of computing on the web.

In the first 6-9 months in this role, you would be involved in efforts to:

• Build new capabilities into WebContainer’s kernel with Rust and WebAssembly
• Improve Nodejs compatibility with WebContainer and investigate support for new languages and runtimes
• Contributing security enhancements and helping OSS projects such as Nodejs Core, Next.js, and others adopt WebAssembly instead of native binaries
• Create code and content that helps the Rust and Nodejs communities ship smaller and faster WebAssembly binaries
• Improve our in-browser developer environment (shell, npm client (turbo), etc) Our engineering organization is flat and this role will collaborate directly with the other engineers working on WebContainer Core and directly report to the CTO. This role requires proficiency with the following technologies:
• Web APIs (Web Worker, SharedArrayBuffer, MessageChannels, etc.)
• Nodejs
• JavaScript / TypeScript
• Familiarity with Rust (or willingness to learn) Traits We’re Looking For:
• Ability to thrive in an ambiguous environment with a high degree of autonomy
• Ability to learn new technologies and systems quickly
• Problem-solving skills, a great attitude, and a desire to win together as a team
• Communication superpowers, especially when discussing technical topics Nice to Haves:
• Familiarity with WebAssembly and/or C/C++
• No task too big or too small
• Not afraid to take on tasks outside of your core role
• Perpetual learning attitude Absolutely NOT Required:
• A college degree
• Being located in the United States About Us StackBlitz is on a mission to bring web development into the browser. We are already trusted by over 1M developers every month.
