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.

- Health stuff that actually matters. Full premiums covered on base healthcare, dental, and vision for you. Half covered for your dependents. Mental health and well-being support included, because taking care of your brain is as important as taking care of your teeth.
- Retirement matching that doesn't suck. 401(k) with 100% match up to 3% of your salary and 50% match up to another 2%. Future you will appreciate present you.
- Actually flexible time off. We say "open, flexible vacation policy" and actually mean it. Take the time you need. Your manager will bug you if you're not taking enough.
- Parental leave that's realistic. Up to 16 weeks if you give birth, up to 8 weeks for new parents (birth, adoption, fostering—however your family grows).
- Money to keep growing. Annual professional development budget for books, courses, conferences, or whatever helps you level up. Plus an annual home office/desk stipend to make your workspace not terrible.
- Work from wherever. Co-working space stipend if you want to get out of your house but aren't near our SF office.
- Lunch on us. 2x+ per week for employees onsite at our San Francisco office. Free food tastes better.
- Company offsites. Twice a year we get the whole team together. It's part strategy, part bonding, part excuse to hang out with Bufo (the toad).
- Regular feedback and fair compensation. Bi-annual reviews to make sure you're getting real feedback and staying competitively compensated. No surprises, no waiting around for performance conversations.
Skills Required
- Must be US-based
