Senior Software Engineer (CDN)
About bunny.net
Some people accept the internet as it is. We see what it could be.
At bunny.net, we don’t wait for change. We make it happen. You won’t find layers of red tape or play-it-safe thinking here. You’ll find people who move quickly, take ownership, and push ideas all the way to the edge. Literally.
You’ll build things that solve actual problems, not add to them.
We’re not perfect, and we don’t pretend to be. But we’re always improving. We’re looking for people who want to do the same, who take pride in their work, and aren’t afraid to challenge what’s possible.
Because everyone deserves a better internet. And we’re here to help it hop faster.
Senior Software Engineer (CDN)
Our CDN delivers millions of requests per second from 119+ PoPs worldwide, and we’re relentlessly tuning every layer to perform faster, smarter, and more efficiently at scale.
As a Senior Software Engineer on our Content Delivery & Security team, you’ll work on the core products that power our CDN and authoritative DNS, while helping shape Bunny Shield : our edge security platform for WAF, DDoS mitigation, and bot management.

It’s the kind of role where your code and your thinking directly shape how the internet performs.

Deep C# (.NET) experience , or strong backend skills in Java or Go, with a genuine willingness to switch to .NET
Curiosity about network security (WAF, DDoS, or bot mitigation), even if it’s new to you
Familiarity with reverse proxies like Nginx or similar technologies
Strong communication skills: you can explain complex ideas clearly and collaborate in an async, remote-first team
A builder’s mindset: you take ownership, seek clarity, and aren’t afraid to figure things out independently

What will make us extra happy?
Hands-on experience or knowledge of WAF, DDoS mitigation, and bot detection technologies
