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.
NordVPN protects millions of users daily through a global edge infrastructure spanning thousands of servers across dozens of countries. The platform engineering team builds and operates the internal backend services that make this possible.
We're looking for a Staff Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to design, build, operate, and improve these systems. This is a high-ownership role — you'll architect solutions, ship them to production. You're the person others rely on when the architecture needs rethinking or a service needs to go from zero to globally deployed.
Main Responsibilities
Design and operate on-demand, globally distributed backend services
Make architectural decisions on how internal services integrate and scale
Manage the full lifecycle: planning, implementation, monitoring, incident response, postmortems
Maintain and improve infrastructure tooling and automation
Contribute to engineering standards, documentation, and operational maturity
Evaluate and integrate AI tooling (LLMs, Claude Code, model integrations) into engineering workflows
Core Requirements
Designing and operating globally distributed systems
Systems architecture - service communication, data flow, resilience patterns
Linux administration at scale (systemd, kernel tuning, debugging production systems)
Docker - building, shipping, and running containers in production
Databases - PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, OpenSearch, VictoriaMetrics
Web servers, load balancing, and failover (Nginx, HAProxy, or similar)
Working with dedicated/bare-metal hardware
Python or another scripting/programming language
Familiarity with AI/LLM tooling and practical application in engineering workflows
Bonus Points For
Kubernetes in production environments
SaltStack (used heavily internally)
Advanced networking - BGP, anycast, tunneling, traffic engineering
