We are a large VPN service with 250,000+ active users in Russia. We are looking for a Senior specialist for the role of chief network administrator, who will take on a key part of the project's network and VPN infrastructure. We need not just a strong network engineer, but a person who has already worked in a large VPN service and knows this industry from the inside. A specialist who is deeply immersed in what is happening on the market: monitors changes in blockages and network restrictions, understands modern traffic filtering methods, knows current VPN technologies and constantly tests new infrastructure solutions. It is important to be well-versed in the hosting and data center market, understand the features of different providers, and be able to build scalable and fault-tolerant infrastructure for hundreds of thousands of users.

Senior level in networks: TCP/IP, UDP, DNS, TLS/HTTPS, routing, NAT; serious practical experience with VPN, tunneling and Xray; experience working specifically with large VPN projects; deep understanding of DPI, traffic filtering, blockages and causes of connection degradation; strong Linux and network diagnostics; experience with dedicated servers, VPS/VDS, CDN, data centers and hosting providers; a plus would be practical experience with colocation of own equipment; ability to design fault-tolerant infrastructure that can survive failures and changes in network restrictions without constant manual intervention; ability to quickly research changes in networks, run experiments, find causes of problems and implement solutions; constant immersion in the VPN industry and understanding of what is happening in it right now. We do not need a person who once set up a VPN following instructions. We are looking for a specialist for whom VPN infrastructure and networks are the main professional specialization.

Salary: 350,000–1,000,000 RUB net — the final amount depends on level, experience and competencies. Format: fully remote, full-time. Employment: only main job — no parallel work or study.
