The world’s most advanced VPN, and a whole lot more.

If you’re a curious problem-solver who carves their own path, join the team behind Threat Protection Pro, the NordLynx protocol, and the fastest VPN on the planet—tools that put privacy, security, and control back in people’s hands.

Your impact? Helping millions take back control of their online security, privacy, and data.

We are looking for a versatile Mid-Senior Developer to build and maintain security monitoring tools and automation systems. This is a hands-on role where you'll design, develop, and deploy tools that help identify security risks, monitor infrastructure, and automate security workflows.

You'll work on a variety of projects — from building vulnerability scanners to creating monitoring dashboards and automation pipelines. We need someone who can quickly understand new domains, pick up new technologies, and deliver working solutions end-to-end.

This role is ideal for a jack-of-all-trades who enjoys solving diverse technical challenges and isn't afraid to build things from scratch.

Main Responsibilities

  • Build security tools — vulnerability scanners, monitoring systems, automation scripts
  • Design and implement distributed systems for large-scale scanning and data processing
  • Integrate with external APIs, security tools, and data sources
  • Create web interfaces for tools and dashboards
  • Work with databases — design schemas, optimize queries, manage data pipelines
  • Write reliable code — proper error handling, retry logic, logging
  • Deploy and maintain tools in production (containers, Kubernetes)
  • Adapt quickly — learn new technologies, tools, and security concepts as needed



Core Requirements

  • 3-5+ years of professional software development experience
  • Strong proficiency in Python or Golang (both is a plus)
  • Full-stack mindset — comfortable with backend, APIs, databases, and basic frontend
  • Experience building tools from scratch — not just maintaining existing codebases
  • Database skills — SQL, ORM (SQLAlchemy or similar), query optimization
  • API development — REST APIs, working with external APIs and services
  • Problem-solving ability — can figure things out independently, read documentation, debug issues
  • Good understanding of networking basics (HTTP, DNS, TCP/IP)



Bonus Points For


  • Security knowledge — understanding of common vulnerabilities, scanning techniques, security tools
  • Experience with distributed systems — task queues (Celery), message brokers, worker processes
  • DevOps skills — Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure automation
  • Web scraping / data collection — experience parsing HTML, handling rate limits, managing sessions
  • Async programming — Python async/await, concurrent processing
  • Linux proficiency — comfortable with command line, shell scripting
  • Experience with Redis — caching, locking, pub/sub



Tools You Will Use


  • Languages: Python, Golang
  • Frameworks: Flask, FastAPI, or similar
  • Databases: MySQL/PostgreSQL, Redis
  • Task Processing: Celery or similar
  • Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes
  • Tools: Git, CI/CD pipelines



Salary Range


  • Gross Salary 3200-6300 EUR/Month
