Responsibilities
Build and operate the gateway core: You’ll work on the services every ngrok request passes through. They’re very fast, very hot, and have extremely high standards
Design routing and security primitives everyone depends on: You’ll build low-level policy, routing, and validation systems used across the platform—making sure bad configs fail fast and don’t accidentally DDoS the internet
Debug distributed systems in the wild: You’ll chase bugs caused by timing, load, and incorrect assumptions. Expect metrics, traces, packet captures, and the occasional “how is this even possible?”
Ship infrastructure people sleep on (in a good way): You’ll build simple, durable systems and clean abstractions that other teams rely on daily—while thinking about blast radius, safety, and rollbacks more than flashy demos
