    Job Description

    ABOUT THE TEAM

    We build remote desktop software for high-performance workstations. The product must be invisible, ultra-fast, and production grade for enterprise customers. We’re a small, senior R&D team obsessed with squeezing milliseconds out of systems, shipping products that scale to millions of users, and delivering engineering work you can be proud of.


    WHAT YOU’LL OWN

    • Operate and evolve the core backend powering authentication, permissions, admin tooling, telemetry, and high-performance network relays.
    • Design and implement secure, multi-region systems and APIs that support millions of users with enterprise-grade security.
    • Lead refactors and additions to a complex server codebase (monolith clean architecture preferred).
    • Partner closely with product, support, and infrastructure to ship features end-to-end and iterate with customers.


    SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

    • 7–15 years building backend systems in startups or scale-ups (enterprise SaaS a big plus).
    • Strong track record of shipping secure, reliable, and performant backend services.
    • Comfortable with owning large areas of a product and making pragmatic tradeoffs.
    • Happy to go deep: prefer building the right low-dependency solution rather than bolting on the latest library.
    • Product- and customer-focused. You care about fit & finish and good UX for admins and IT users.


    NICE TO HAVE

    • Experience with API/permissions modeling, complex admin/enterprise features, telemetry/event systems, or large refactors of monoliths.
    • Go experience preferred but we’ll hire Go-curious engineers coming from Java, Django, Rails, or C# backgrounds.


    COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

    • $180,000 to $250,000 USD base salary per year
    • Equity 
    • Comprehensive healthcare benefits
    • Generous PTO
    • And more...


    **This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary, a final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to experience and geographic location.
