What we're building
BlancVPN runs a privacy service used by hundreds of thousands of people across the world — which means a distributed fleet of servers that has to stay fast, resilient, and always on. We're looking for an
Infrastructure Engineer | Senior
to own that fleet: the automation, monitoring, networking, and VPN protocols that keep the service reliable no matter where a user connects from.
This is a hands-on operations role for someone who's happiest when the system runs itself — automating the routine, catching problems before users do, and expanding the network without dropping availability.
