About Us

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.

The Job

We’re looking for a Linux Infrastructure Engineer to join our Infrastructure team. The Infrastructure team is responsible for the operation and maintenance of OS deployment, Proxmox clusters, monitoring infrastructure, backups, and related core services. We deliver a stable, scalable, and secure platform that empowers other teams to build, deploy, and operate their services on.

This job is about

Develop and maintain Mullvads platform and OS deployments
Designing infrastructure under the assumption that everything is hostile
Keep systems boring, fast and hard to break
Review code with a “How could this leak data?” mindset

Who you are

Have 5+ years of experience as a Linux sys admin or similar
Deep understanding of Linux systems
Experience with Python or Go
Experience with monitoring and metrics
Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized environments
Good communication skills in English
Humble and team-oriented mindset
Have a love–hate relationship with Ansible

You might belong here if you

Like backend or infrastructure work more than buzzwords
Understand networking well enough to be suspicious of it
Care about security, privacy and threat models - not just feature velocity
Prefer simple solutions over “clever” ones

Nice to have:

Hands-on experience with tools and platforms such as Ansible, NetBox, Proxmox, PostgreSQL, Grafana, LibreNMS, CI/CD pipelines, and HashiCorp Vault. Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Anycast/BGP, and authoritative DNS solutions (Bind9, Unbound) is a strong plus.

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 bunch of diversified peeps: from vegans to marathon runners, audiophiles to farmers and coffee brewers. So, what unites us? Our commitment to living and breathing our mission, to make mass surveillance and censorship impractical.

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.
