The Story
Imagine this:
You’re handed a challenge—one that touches the digital lives of
hundreds of millions of people
.
The task isn’t just to optimize code or ship features. It’s to
reimagine a company’s mission
: from ad-blocking pioneer to the
world’s most trusted consumer cybersecurity platform
.
This isn’t business as usual. It’s a
re-founding
. And they’re looking for someone who’s more than just a brilliant engineer— someone who leads with code, clarity, and conviction.

the 99% online

Someone who can:
