Accounting Associate

Bare Performance Nutrition
Austin, TX

Who We Are

BPN was founded in 2012 by US Army veteran Nick Bare on a simple belief: that people deserve nutrition products they can actually trust. Over a decade later, we are one of the fastest-growing DTC brands in the performance nutrition space, with a community built around our motto, Go One More.


Headquartered just north of Austin, we are a high-conviction team that does not do things halfway. If you are the kind of person who shows up early, operates with integrity, and wants to build something that actually matters to the people it serves, you will fit right in.
