Job description

Role overview

Develop software across a platform that helps keep websites, applications, and game servers available during distributed denial-of-service attacks. Depending on your strengths, you could work on Linux packet filtering, traffic detection, proxy services, platform APIs, customer-facing web tools, or technical support and debugging. The role expects depth in one or two areas and the ability to navigate code across the wider system.

Responsibilities

• Handle feature requests and investigate complex customer issues, including problems that occur once and are difficult to reproduce.
• Build high-performance Linux traffic filters, or proxy and verification services for games and online applications.
• Develop systems that detect suspicious traffic and trigger mitigations, using network signals and telemetry.
• Contribute to account, billing, and support services, or to customer dashboards and documentation.
• Collaborate through weekly sprints, written updates, and calls for debugging and technical discussion.

Requirements

• A solid foundation in Linux and networking, with production experience in at least one of Go, Java, or TypeScript.
• Strong written communication, including the ability to help resolve customer problems.
• Deep experience in one or two relevant areas, such as eBPF/XDP and C, low-latency Go services, traffic analysis, Java and Spring Boot backends, or TypeScript and React interfaces.
• For the chosen area, familiarity with its associated tools and practices—for example, PostgreSQL and OAuth2 for backend work, or binary protocols, rate limiting, and TLS for proxy services.
• Comfort reading and working with code beyond your main area of expertise.

Nice to have

• Experience with LLM applications, cloud or edge platforms, identity and security, large-scale data systems, payment integrations, low-level C performance, operating networks or servers, or writing developer documentation and API specifications.

Benefits and work setup

Work is organized in weekly sprints with a Scrum-like process and tracked in Linear. The team aims to automate repeatable tasks and holds few recurring meetings; engineers generally manage their own schedules and use calls to debug and discuss work.
