🌏 About anyIP
is a fast-growing proxy provider — affordable, high-quality residential and mobile proxies in 190+ countries. Built by engineers, loved by power users.
We're an AI-first company: we lean on AI across the whole stack — coding, reviews, debugging, ops, and tooling — to ship faster and punch far above our size. You'll be expected (and encouraged) to wield it daily.
🔥 The role
Be the technical owner of our proxy platform: a 100% async Rust codebase (~50k lines, multi-repo) doing tens of millions of requests/day.
The core is a hard distributed-systems problem — we coordinate a churning fleet of devices running our server as proxy and route live customer traffic through them over custom TLS + custom protocols. Your job: keep that fleet fast, reliable, and byte-accurately billed.
This is a hands-on lead role. You'll mostly design, code, review, and debug production systems — not manage a large team.
🛠️ What you'll own
🧠 What we're looking for
✅ Big pluses
🚀 Why join
Genuine ownership, full autonomy, clear path to senior leadership. Low-level systems work with immediate production consequences — billing accuracy, abuse prevention, uptime under real traffic. Most backend jobs never touch this depth — and you'll do it on an AI-first team that ships fast.
🎁 Perks
⏱️ Process
Application → 30-min intro call → take-home challenge → 1–3 founder interviews → offer.
We move fast.
