A team from Germany with the vision to make advanced network security accessible for everyone

We are a software company developing an open-source zero-trust network security platform that is both easy to use and affordable for teams of all sizes and budgets. Our mission is grounded in a simple yet powerful belief: secure private networking is a fundamental right of every modern company.

Since our launch on GitHub in 2021, we have gained trust among thousands of companies seeking secure and seamless solutions for connecting remote employees and infrastructure.

As a Senior Software Engineer (Backend), you will play a key role in evolving NetBird’s product by designing and developing robust backend systems and contributing to our open-source client software. Your work will directly impact the scalability, reliability, and security of our platform, making it accessible to a broader audience. Specifically, you will:

- Lead backend development efforts, contributing to core systems like management and relay services.
- Take a holistic approach to the product lifecycle, from concept and coding to deployment, monitoring, and refinement.
- Collaborate with engineers to design, develop, test, and document software components while refining features for the best user experience.
