Network Engineer (Anti-Censorship)-Remote

Position Title : Network Resilience Engineer – Anti-Censorship Infrastructure

Reporting Line : Reports directly to the Head of Infrastructure / CTO

Location : Remote – Open globally (preference for time zones overlapping Asia and Europe)

General Purpose

Design, deploy, and maintain resilient network infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted access to our services in regions facing heavy internet censorship (e.g., China, India, Middle East). This role focuses on building robust proxy and obfuscation layers, traffic masking strategies, and automated failover mechanisms to maintain service reliability under adversarial network conditions.

As a Network Resilience Engineer, you’ll serve as the technical owner of our anti-censorship stack — blending deep networking knowledge, scripting, and creative problem-solving to deliver an open and accessible internet experience.

Requirements

Specific Objectives (first ~12 months)

• Design, implement, and maintain proxy and obfuscation stacks (e.g., Shadowsocks, obfs4proxy, Cloudflare Tunnel)
• Develop a robust monitoring framework for censorship-related disruptions such as DPI, DNS poisoning, and TCP resets
• Establish automated strategies for IP rotation, traffic masking, and intelligent failover
• Integrate obfuscation layers with backend services to ensure seamless connectivity
• Research and adopt emerging circumvention techniques (e.g., TLS camouflage, domain fronting, randomized transports) and Chocolate Protocols
• Implement observability, logging, and analytics for tunnel health and anomaly detection
• Collaborate with security, backend, and DevOps teams to strengthen resilience and redundancy
