  • Improve scalability, reliability, and performance of backend systems
  • Implement observability and monitoring solutions
  • Troubleshoot incidents and support production stability
  • Optimize systems for performance, efficiency, and security

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong experience designing distributed systems
  • Proficiency in Go (preferred) or another backend language
  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (IP, routing, protocols)
  • Experience with authentication/authorization standards (OAuth2, OIDC, SSO)
  • Experience with relational databases and performance tuning
  • Experience with unit and integration testing
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work in a remote environment
  • Fluent English

Nice to Have

  • Experience with VPN or network security products
  • Experience with gRPC or REST APIs
  • Experience working in cloud environments
  • Open-source contributions
  • Experience building products used at large scale

Whats Offered

  • Competitive salary and equity package
  • Fully remote work environment
  • High ownership and autonomy
  • Collaborative engineering culture

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
