About Pangolin

Pangolin delivers identity-aware remote access to internal apps and
services, starting with secure reverse tunneling, and is evolving
toward broader zero-trust networking. We build in the open and are
self-hosted by default so teams retain control over data and
infrastructure. The system is policy-driven, integrates with standard
IdPs, exposes clear observability and health, and provides an API for
automation. If you're interested in open-source auth and networking
infrastructure, we'd love to chat.

 
About The Role

As a Full Stack Software Engineer at Pangolin, you'll help architect,
build, and maintain the core of the Pangolin system. You'll work
primarily on the Pangolin container, the central server with the UI,
APIs, schemas, and more. As an early hire, you'll play a foundational
role in shaping how Pangolin is built as both a product and a
company.

 
What You'll Do

  * Design, develop, and test the core of our self-hosted platform
      + Frontend (NextJS, Tailwind, ShadCN)
      + Backend (Express APIs, SQL, Drizzle ORM)
      + Processes (CICD, Internal Tooling)
  * Troubleshooting and resolving complex issues related to
    distributed systems, networking, and security.
  * Actively engaging with the open-source community, providing
    support, and driving engagement on platforms like GitHub and
    Discord
  * Ship quickly and get instant feedback from our large open-source
    user-base

 
What We're Looking For

 
High Level

  * Must be a current or recent graduate with more than 3 years of
    work experience in computer science
  * Must be San Francisco based or able to move to San Francisco
    (with relocation assistance)
  * Must be comfortable with and excited by early stage startup
    culture and figuring things out as we go
  * Must have your own ideas and be willing to communicate them

 
Other Technical Qualifcations

  * Extensive TypeScript experience and can write a little Go
  * Familiarity with web identity and authentication standards:
    OAuth2, OIDC, SSO
  * Experience with cloud infrastructure and operational technologies
    (Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, AWS)
  * Basic knowledge of networking concepts: tunneling, WireGuard,
    proxies, SSL/TLS

 
What You Can Expect

  * Competitive salary
  * Hybrid (in-person + work-from-home)
  * Quiet work environment
  * Small, trusting team of founders and engineers
  * Relocation assistance
  * Unlimited PTO

 
Process

 1. We will review your provided materials
 2. Complete a quick "get to know you interview" with founders
 3. A short, scoped, paid OSS project contribution
 4. Onboard!

 
How to Apply

 1. Add Owen on LinkedIn.
 2. Send your resume/CV
 3. Send your GitHub profile and highlight any past projects
