Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer (Content Delivery & Security)

Our CDN delivers millions of requests per second from 119+ PoPs worldwide, and we're relentlessly tuning every layer to perform faster, smarter, and more efficiently at scale.

As a Senior Software Engineer on our Content Delivery & Security team, you'll work on the backend stack behind our CDN and authoritative DNS, while contributing to Bunny Shield, our greenfield edge security platform for WAF, DDoS mitigation, and bot management.

You'd be a great fit if you're a backend engineer who's built the systems behind a CDN: low-latency delivery, smart caching, efficient routing, and protocol-level optimization. If you know what it takes to move traffic at scale, you'll hit the ground running.

And, if edge security is new to you, that's okay. We'll help you ramp up on WAFs, DDoS protection, and more, fast.

What Will You Do?

• Design and build core features for our CDN platform, with a focus on performance, scalability, and reliability
• Write and maintain systems that process millions of requests per second with low latency and high availability
• Collaborate across teams to evolve our distributed content delivery infrastructure
• Fine-tune protocols, routing logic, and caching systems to deliver faster experiences at the edge
• Contribute to Bunny Shield, implementing WAF, DDoS mitigation, and bot detection capabilities in real time
• Work closely with network and security engineers to refine TLS/SSL, HTTPS, TCP, and proxy configurations
• Diagnose and solve complex problems in large-scale distributed systems and networking stacks

What Will You Bring?

• Experience building CDN, edge computing, or large-scale distributed systems
• Strong backend engineering skills, meaning that you know how to take a system from design to deployment
• Strong programming skills in one or more backend languages such as .NET (C#), Java, or similar
• Familiarity with content delivery architectures and reverse proxy tuning
• A good understanding of HTTPS, TCP, DNS, TLS/SSL protocols, and reverse proxy technologies like Nginx
• Familiarity with WAF, DDoS mitigation, or security-minded engineering, or the curiosity to dive in and learn fast
• A track record of shipping reliable, scalable systems that hold up under real-world traffic and edge conditions
• Clear thinking around tradeoffs at scale: latency vs. throughput, caching vs. complexity, performance vs. resilience
• Great communication skills to quickly share complex technical ideas within and across teams in an async environment
• Willingness to learn, adapt, and contribute to a fast-evolving technical stack

Not sure if you check every box? That's okay. We care more about how you think and what you've built than perfect credentials. If this work sounds exciting and you're ready to grow, we want to hear from you.

What Will Make Us Extra Happy?

• Passion for optimizing performance and security at the edge
• Hands-on experience or knowledge of WAF, DDoS mitigation, and bot detection technologies
• Solid knowledge of DNS standards and scalability challenges
