I see Oven (creator's of Bun) are hiring. I imagine the pool of javascript developers that they could hire from is tiny. Add in Zig and it's even smaller.

- aphexairlines 4y agoThey don't have to hire people who already know Zig -- just people capable of learning it.
- Existenceblinks 4y agoIt's a different criteria, not necessary a plus. It's domain knowledge based hiring, knowing Zig can be worse than not knowing Zig but with experience of writing low level stuff (especially things from scratch requires protocols implementation experience)
- saagarjha 4y agoI assume they are looking for the profile of a browser engineer, which is not that rare
- gardenhedge 4y agoIs it not? Seems pretty niche to me. For example, I know lots of types of engineers but never a browser engineer.
- saagarjha 4y agoGenerally someone with a strong C++ background and understanding of some portion of the browser stack (DOM/compilers/networking/security/…)
