Mullvad VPN is a Swedish VPN company dedicated to fighting mass surveillance and censorship. We do this primarily through our VPN service and our privacy-focused web browser. Over the years, we have been pioneers when it comes to VPN technology and we intend to remain trailblazers. Everything we do is built with our users' security and privacy first - with the ambition of making mass surveillance and censorship impractical.
The Job
We're looking for a backend developer / sys admin to join our Services team. The team is responsible for backend services related to accounts, payments and internal APIs. We're looking for someone who enjoys working close to the metal, cares deeply about reliability, security and wants their work to genuinely protect users' privacy.
This job is about
Develop and operate backend services that handle traffic without identifying users
Designing infrastructure under the assumption that everything is hostile
Keep systems boring, fast and hard to break
Review code with a "How could this leak data?" mindset
Who you are
Have 7+ years of experience building backend systems, infrastructure or both
Deep understanding of Linux systems
Experience with Python or Go
Experience with monitoring, metrics and SLOs
Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized environments
Good communication skills in English
Humble and team-oriented mindset
You might belong here if you
Like backend or infrastructure work more than buzzwords
Understand networking well enough to be suspicious of it
Care about security, privacy and threat models - not just feature velocity
Prefer simple systems over "clever" ones
Why Mullvad?
We value quality over quantity and believe in good solutions rather than quick fixes. Our apps are open source, our teams are curious and collaborative, and we care deeply about removing bloat rather than adding it.
We are a bunch of diversified peeps: from vegans to marathon runners, audiophiles to farmers and coffee brewers. So, what unites us? Our commitment to living and breathing our mission, to make mass surveillance and censorship impractical.
If you want to build products that make an impact, enjoy generous benefits, and work for a purpose you can stand behind, welcome to Mullvad.
