You'll be responsible for building and maintaining a new feature/app that takes advantage of a Network Extension on iOS. To succeed at this position, you should be experienced with NEPacketTunnelProvider, VPN, proxy servers, HTTP/HTTPS servers, DNS, IP packages.

Who you are

• Self-organized. Self-discipline and staying focused are essential when working remotely. 
• A collaborator. We look for people who actively want critical feedback on their work early and often. All team members are responsible for helping make decisions about what needs to be done.
  
• Meticulous about quality. Quality matters a great deal in everything we do, whether that's engineering, content, or design — we care about creating things that we're proud of.
  
• A clear communicator. As a remote team that communicates almost exclusively through writing — concise, written communication is essential.
• A "no ego" doer. We enjoy working with smart people who have lots of ideas, yet are happy to discard their former opinions whenever a better way of doing things presents itself.
