Seeking Top-Notch Go and Rust Engineers:
We are looking for exceptional Go and Rust engineers with 6+ years of hands-on software development experience, ideally with a strong background in low-level systems and network programming.
What You’ll Do
- Design and build large-scale, distributed systems in the cloud
- Develop multi-platform software across major operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android)
- Work across the stack — from browser logic to backend services to user-facing components
- Take full ownership of features end-to-end
- Collaborate across disciplines and continuously learn new technologies
Our engineering culture is highly versatile:
You might spend one week deep in TypeScript debugging browser behavior, the next building a React component for the management console, and then implementing backend capabilities in C#.
What you need to have:
- Strong experience building distributed systems (AWS, GCP, or similar)
- Deep understanding of networking protocols and architectures
- Experience developing large-scale, multi-platform applications
- Ability and willingness to work across the stack and switch contexts frequently
- A solution-oriented mindset with a passion for learning
Nice to Have
- Experience with networking and security technologies such as proxies, VPNs, ZTNA, WireGuard, NGFW
We’ve explored every corner of the modern enterprise — from building industry-defining technologies like antivirus and browser isolation, to delivering products like DLP and proxies at global scale. But what we’re building now isn’t just another solution — it’s an entirely new chapter for enterprise work.
The scale, the complexity, the impact — this is bigger than anything we’ve done before.
