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.
