ngrok is developer infrastructure that routes and secures traffic to your apps, APIs, and AI models, wherever they run. Start on localhost, ship to prod. Backed by Lightspeed.
About the role
You'll take a complicated technical idea (networking, distributed systems, GPUs, whatever's genuinely hard) and turn it into something that makes developers stop scrolling and think, huh, ngrok made that? It might be a deep technical post, an interactive web experience, a video, a CLI demo, a small open source project, or a format nobody's tried yet. We don't optimize for medium. We optimize for whether the work changes how developers think about ngrok. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- A writer's heart. You care about the craft of writing, you read widely, and you have opinions about sentences (yours and everyone else's)
- A builder's instinct and an educator's clarity. You don't just explain things, you make them tangible
- Deep technical knowledge of AI/ML or networking and infrastructure, or at least a serious curiosity about whichever one you don't know yet
- An eagerness to learn. Our products span tunnels, gateways, deployments, and GPUs, and nobody here knew all of it on day one
- A body of work that shows taste and range: blog posts and launches, sure, but also tools, talks, side projects, or an interactive thing. You reach for whatever shape an idea demands
- Experience working directly with product and engineering. You can pull the thing that matters out of a sprint review and turn it into something developers actually want to read
More about this role
ngrok builds developer infrastructure to connect services and AI models, wherever they run.
Most developers know us as the way to put localhost on the internet. More than 15 million of them use ngrok, at companies like GitHub, Okta, HashiCorp, and Twilio. It's the same ngrok they've loved and leaned on for years, now with the power to run production traffic at scale.
Teams use ngrok to deliver APIs, connect to their customers' networks, manage device fleets, and route traffic between public and local AI models.
Across all of it, we hold ourselves to one standard: developers should be able to finish a whole job without becoming experts in every system it touches. We take on the complexity, make thoughtful choices by default, and keep developers in control of what matters to them.
- Our (unofficial) mascot is a shrimp. Yes, we make the puns.
- We have a designated Chief Emoji Officer, and the role is vital to our success.
- We like software that's serious and culture that's not.
- Our competitive advantage is that we're having fun.
