Seeking Top-Notch Go Engineers:
We are looking for exceptional Go engineers with 6+ years of hands-on software development experience, ideally with a strong background in low-level systems and network programming.
Key Qualifications:
Proven experience building large-scale, distributed systems in the cloud (e.g., AWS, GCP, etc.).
Extensive experience developing large-scale, multi-platform software across major operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android).
Strong understanding of network protocols and topologies.
Familiarity with the following is advantageous but not required:
Experience with proxies, VPNs, ZTNA, WireGuard, NGFW, and related technologies.
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.
