Help build a network that keeps the internet online
We are a focused team working on one of the harder problems in networking: stopping distributed denial-of-service attacks without getting in the way of the people a service is meant to reach. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we would like to hear from you.
Roles we are hiring for right now
Marketing
Now hiringOwn how Soraxus shows up to the world, from positioning and content to campaigns that reach the enterprises and communities who need protection.
Technical Support
Now hiringBe the person customers reach when it matters, guiding onboarding and standing with them through active incidents with clear, calm communication.
Sales
Now hiringWork directly with enterprises and hosts to understand their infrastructure and scope the right protection, from the first conversation to a signed agreement.
Real problems, real impact, no busywork
Working on DDoS protection means the stakes are never abstract. When you improve a filter or tighten a routing decision, a customer somewhere stays online through an attack that would otherwise have taken them down. That feedback loop is immediate and it is motivating.
We keep teams small and give people room to own their work end to end. You will see the whole picture rather than a narrow slice, and you will have a genuine say in how things are built. We care far more about how you think and how you solve problems than about a specific list of technologies on a resume.
We also respect that this work can be intense. Attacks happen at inconvenient times, and we plan for that with sensible rotations and a culture that does not confuse being busy with being effective. Sustainable pace matters, because the people who do this well are the people who are still sharp at 3am when it counts.
Because we are focused on a single problem, the learning here compounds quickly. You will not be spread across unrelated products or context-switching between things that have nothing to do with each other. Instead you go deep on networking and mitigation, working alongside people who care about the same things, and you come out the other side genuinely expert in a field that very few people understand well. For the right person, that depth is worth far more than a longer list of buzzwords on a resume.
The traits that do well here
We care less about pedigree than about how you approach problems. These are the qualities we have seen matter most in the people who do their best work here, and they show up regardless of the specific role someone is in.
Ownership
Small teams mean the work you do is visible and yours. You will not be one more pair of hands on a feature nobody remembers. What you build protects real customers from real attacks.
Depth over surface
We would rather understand one hard problem completely than skim ten. If you like getting to the bottom of why a packet did what it did, you will feel at home here.
Calm under pressure
Attacks do not wait for business hours. We value people who stay level-headed when a customer is under fire, and who treat an incident as a problem to solve rather than a reason to panic.
Straight talk
We give direct feedback and expect it in return. Clear, honest communication saves everyone time, and it is how good engineering decisions get made.
Areas we are always interested in
Beyond the roles above, we are always glad to hear from strong people in these areas, even when nothing specific is posted. If your experience fits, reach out and tell us what you are good at.
Network Engineering
Anycast, BGP, peering, and the routing that decides where an attack gets absorbed. If you think in AS paths, we want to talk.
Mitigation & Software
Kernel-level packet processing, XDP, and the filtering logic that separates real traffic from attack traffic at line rate.
Operations & Support
Keeping the network healthy and standing with customers during active incidents, from onboarding to the middle of an attack.
A process built to respect your time
We keep hiring deliberately simple. When you reach out, a real person on our team reads what you send and replies. We are not going to route you through a dozen rounds or ask you to spend a weekend on a take-home that we will never look at properly. Your time is worth more than that, and so is ours.
The first conversation is exactly that, a conversation. We want to understand what you have worked on, what you enjoyed, and what you would like to do more of. From there, the technical discussion is grounded in the kind of problems you would actually face here, whether that is reasoning about a routing decision, walking through how you would approach a filtering problem, or talking through how you have handled an incident under pressure in the past.
We hire for judgment and curiosity more than for a specific stack. Tools can be learned, and the ones we use will change over the years. What is harder to teach is the instinct to dig until you genuinely understand a problem, and the temperament to stay calm and methodical when a customer is counting on you to get it right. If that describes you, the exact languages and technologies on your resume matter far less than you might expect.
We do our best to move quickly and to give you a clear answer either way. Being left waiting is frustrating, and we would rather tell you where things stand than leave you guessing. However the process ends, our aim is that you come away with a fair sense of who we are and how we work.
If you are early in your career, do not count yourself out. We are happy to talk to people who are still building their experience but who show real curiosity and the drive to learn. What matters is that you want to understand how things work at a deep level and that you are willing to put in the effort to get there.
