    We are a privacy-focused B2C VPN, running since 2010, independently audited every year (#8 in progress), well-regarded in the privacy community. Alongside the VPN we run additional services: modDNS, Mailx and Portmaster.

    Expected background: - 3+ yrs managing production Linux, including bare-metal - 3+ yrs with a config management tool (Ansible, Puppet or Salt) - Comfortable scripting in Python, Go or Bash - Solid TCP&#x2F;IP, UDP, SSL&#x2F;TLS - Genuine interest in infosec (public-key crypto, TPM, reproducible builds)

    How to apply: the posting has the full details and a few short questions, apply by email as described there. Questions welcome at viktor at ivpn.net.
