Our team primarily utilizes Scrum with some small, support work following a Kanban model.

At Golden Frog, we respect our customers. We care about the Internet, and we need you to help us create superior software and services. Join our team and have a hand in making an impact!

Responsibilities:

  • Enhance and add new features to existing applications
  • Translate functional requirements into conceptual and detailed design
  • Provide story point estimates for development effort
  • Work with extended engineering resources and design teams

Requirements:

  • Knowledge of Scala or Perl is a plus, but fluency in any object-oriented or functional language with an interest in learning Scala and Perl is great too
  • Ability to learn new languages quickly
  • Willingness and eagerness to learn from mentors, and other software engineers
  • Basic knowledge of SQL and Relational Databases
  • An understanding of Object Oriented Design and concepts
  • Must have a positive “can-do” attitude

Who we are:

Golden Frog was founded in response to Room 641a, an infamous room in San Francisco where the NSA was conducting surveillance on AT&T's networks. We filed papers with the FCC to bring this alarming activity to their attention, but were ignored. Instead of waiting around for the government to protect Internet users, our response was to found Golden Frog to build tools that help preserve an open and secure Internet experience while respecting user privacy. Since our founding, we have encrypted millions of internet connections across the world and continue to rapidly expand to satisfy a growing worldwide need for privacy and security.

You will join technically talented teams, working on a variety of challenging projects. Standard business hours that allow for an enjoyable work/life balance. And, the ability to contribute! This position also offers a generous 401k profit-sharing plan, medical/dental insurance, vision discount plan, and generous paid time off.
