About Mullvad VPN
Mullvad VPN is a Swedish VPN company dedicated to fighting mass surveillance and censorship. We do this primarily through our VPN service and our privacy-focused web browser. Over the years, we have been pioneers when it comes to VPN technology and we intend to remain trailblazers. Everything we do is built with our users’ security and privacy first — with the ambition of making mass surveillance and censorship impractical.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Rust Developer to join our Desktop App team at Mullvad. The team develops and maintains the desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Key Responsibilities:

Requirements:

• Strong proficiency in e.g. Rust or C++, with intention of learning Rust
• Experience of system and network programming, preferably on Windows
• Ability to write secure, robust, and maintainable low-level code
• Problem-solving abilities and attention to detail

Why Mullvad?
We value quality over quantity and believe in good solutions rather than quick fixes. Our apps are open source, our teams are curious and collaborative, and we care deeply about removing bloat rather than adding it.

We are a group of different people: vegans and marathon runners, audiophiles, farmers, and coffee brewers. What brings us together is simple: we want to build technology that fights mass surveillance and censorship.

If you want to build products that make an impact, enjoy generous benefits, and work for a purpose you can stand behind, welcome to Mullvad.
