About ngrok Inc.

At ngrok, we believe that doing networking the right way should also be the easy way. Over the last 10 years, we’ve given developers and engineers simple interfaces for getting traffic into their apps and APIs without forcing them to deal with legacy proxies, external load balancers, or VPNs, and we’re now part of the standard stack for more than 9 million developers at some of the world’s top technology brands, like GitHub, Okta, HashiCorp, and Twilio.

Over the last few years, we’ve completely changed how that interface looks and works to make it easier, more composable, and infinitely flexible. We now give anyone who needs a “front door” to their apps or APIs powerful tools to orchestrate traffic, secure public endpoints, accelerate their services on a global network, observe all traffic passing to/from their network, and much more. The ngrok that millions love and trust has been completely transformed for the better.

The opportunity

As a software engineer on the Platform team, you will work with your team on the software all engrokkers (ngrok engineers) use to build, deploy, and manage our product. You will approach SRE and DevOps concerns with the mindset and tools of a software engineer.

You should understand running production services with load and latency concerns. Our engineers use a powerful combination of tools including Go, PostgreSQL, nix, gRPC, Terraform, and more. All the code is in our monorepo and driven by extensive protobuf-based code generation. We have an awesome in-house command line tool that wraps all our tooling.

Mentor other members of ngrok in your areas of specialty and contribute to related areas of code that interest you: help us improve our builder tools, mature our infrastructure, and drive scalable architecture.

This is a remote position for candidates outside of the Bay Area and a hybrid role for candidates within commuting distance to San Francisco. Our Bay Area employees commute to the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
