NetBird | Berlin, Germany (or remote, CET/CEST overlap) | Full-time https://netbird.io/careers

NetBird is open source networking and access control WireGuard-based overlay networks with zero-config peer-to-peer connectivity. Open source, built in Europe, used by thousands of teams worldwide. We're a small and growing team going up against the incumbents in network security. Post Series A.

- Engineering Manager : You will take a huge part in leading and scaling our engineering org. Unblocking, scaling, hiring, you'll still read code and hold technical opinions that impact the product. We're not looking for a pure people manager. Networking/infra background is a plus, not a filter. If you've scaled a team from 0 to 20+ and seen your product scale too, I'd love to talk to you.

- Senior/Staff Backend Engineer (Golang) : the control plane: peer coordination, policy and access control, multi-tenancy, and keeping it all fast as customer networks grow into the hundreds of thousands of peers.

- Network / Client Engineer (Golang) — the agent side: WireGuard, NAT traversal and hole punching, relays, DNS, and shipping one client across Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android. If you enjoy debugging why one connection out of a thousand won't go peer-to-peer, this is the role.

- Solutions Engineer — technical, customer-facing, pre/post-sales. You'll be the person who architects a rollout for a 500-person company's network live on a call, and a great channel back into the roadmap.

We have an office in Berlin and mostly work CET/CEST. We'd love to have you in the office with us, but if your experience is stellar we're happy to hire remote. We're scaling quickly, so this is a chance to join early and scale your career as well as with the company.
