Details

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.

This is a hands-on Mid-Senior role focused on building and maintaining security monitoring tools and automation systems used to identify security risks, monitor infrastructure, and automate security workflows. You will design, develop, and deploy tools end-to-end — from vulnerability scanners and distributed scanning systems to dashboards and automation pipelines.

Responsibilities

  • Build security tools — vulnerability scanners, monitoring systems, automation scripts.
  • Design and implement distributed systems for large-scale scanning and data processing.
  • Integrate with external APIs, security tools, and data sources.
  • Create web interfaces for tools and dashboards (basic frontend work as needed).
  • Work with databases — design schemas, optimize queries, manage data pipelines.
  • Write reliable code with proper error handling, retry logic, and logging.
  • Deploy and maintain tools in production using containers and Kubernetes.
  • Adapt quickly — learn new technologies, tools, and security concepts as needed.

Requirements

  • 3–5+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Strong proficiency in Python or Golang (both is a plus).
  • Full-stack mindset — comfortable with backend, APIs, databases, and basic frontend.
  • Experience building tools from scratch (not only maintaining existing codebases).
  • Database skills — SQL, ORM (SQLAlchemy or similar), query optimization.
  • API development experience — REST APIs and working with external APIs/services.
  • Good problem-solving ability; able to work independently to read documentation and debug issues.
  • Good understanding of networking basics (HTTP, DNS, TCP/IP).

Bonus / Nice-to-have

  • Security knowledge — understanding of common vulnerabilities, scanning techniques, and security tools.
  • Experience with distributed systems — task queues (Celery), message brokers, worker processes.
  • DevOps skills — Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure automation.
  • Web scraping / data collection experience — parsing HTML, handling rate limits, managing sessions.
  • Async programming (Python async/await) and concurrent processing.
  • Strong Linux proficiency (command line, shell scripting).
  • Experience with Redis (caching, locking, pub/sub).

Tools You Will Use

  • Languages: Python, Golang
  • Frameworks: Flask, FastAPI, or similar
  • Databases: MySQL / PostgreSQL, Redis
  • Task Processing: Celery or similar
  • Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes
  • Tools: Git, CI/CD pipelines

Salary

  • Gross Salary: 3200–6300 EUR / Month (posted)

Benefits

  • Not specified in the job posting.

Location & Work Mode

  • Hybrid role based in Lithuania (Vilnius or Kaunas).
