  • Strong backend engineering fundamentals and distributed systems experience
  • Deep networking knowledge: protocols, routing, tunneling, VPN concepts
  • Experience improving network performance, monitoring, and reliability
  • Strong understanding of multi-threading and async programming
  • Solid testing practices (unit + integration)
  • Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset
  • Fluent English

Nice-to-Haves
  • Hands-on experience with VPN solutions
  • Experience with REST and/or gRPC APIs
  • Automation/scripting mindset
  • Experience maintaining widely used production software
  • Cloud experience
  • Open-source contributions

What’s in it for you
