Company mission
Our mission is to make the 99% safe online.
Role
Who you are
- You have the knowledge and skills to build scalable, secure, and high-performance systems and want to drive real value with them:
- Have you ever served 30B requests and 7 PB of data a month for over 300 million active clients? Join us and dive into the specific challenges that this scale brings
- Your curiosity is boundless, and you genuinely love untangling complex problems. You know how to leverage data and analytics to understand system performance and user behavior. You'll use insights to identify bottlenecks, optimize processes, and ensure our services deliver the best possible experience
- You're not content with just shipping code; you're driven to see it make a tangible difference. You're passionate about understanding the "why" behind every line you write and how it genuinely improves someone's day
- You are a master of written communication. Your design documents are especially impressive
- Your judgement and empathy—for both users and peers—mean that everyone wants to join your projects
- You can lead many to deliver a lot. This doesn’t mean managing people. Instead, this is about being a technical lead with a considerable scope of influence. You can influence a group consisting of multiple teams to pursue a project that will take this group 3+ months to deliver; and you can break the project down into a roadmap that systematically delivers value and mitigates risk
What the job involves
- You deliver across the technology stack. Whether it is building a service in NodeJS or Go, using your understanding of cloud platforms to architect scalable & maintainable systems, optimizing caching strategies to reduce latency, designing resilient Pub/Sub workflows, or even putting together a frontend with one of the modern frameworks, you feel comfortable solving the puzzle. And if you don’t know how, you are happy to dive right in and learn!
- You design and build scalable, high-performance microservices and APIs. Your mind naturally maps out how different components connect, and you find satisfaction in delving into the intricacies of distributed systems, databases, and APIs to fine-tune them for peak performance and massive scalability
- Be at the forefront of AI innovation: You'll have the opportunity to explore and integrate AI into our foundational services, shaping the future of user experiences and contributing to solutions that impact millions worldwide
- You deliver solutions that are robust at every step of the software lifecycle
- You remain committed to pragmatic, elegant simplicity—and not reinventing the wheel
- You reason from first principles about what could be done to identify what should be done, why and how
- You use data to isolate problems. You use data to prioritize which problems should be tackled. You use data to optimize solutions, and to confirm that the solutions you ship actually land as you intended
Our take
eyeo is a leading ad-filtering technology developer that powers some of the largest ad blockers on the market, including AdBlock and AdBlock Plus. The company also offers privacy solutions through Crumbs and Acceptable Ads. All-in-all, it empowers users, browsers, advertisers and publishers to prosper in a fairer and more sustainable online ecosystem.
The company has made several strategic acquisitions, including Flattr and Blockthrough (enabling eyeo to analyse why users filter the ads they do), and has made a range of advantageous partnerships with companies throughout the publishing, advertising, and distribution industries. It now has a new leadership team in place and is working to build the largest cybersecurity company through a new firewall system, already with more than a billion people under its protection.
With its new direction in the firewall space, eyeo continues to build up its team and has shifted some of its focus as part of a "re-founding" strategy. With its leading position in the ad-blocking market and its strong growth strategy in other areas of cybersecurity, eyeo is well-placed to see continued global expansion.
