we removed anonymous usage of our product many years ago because it was far and away the largest source of abuse on our entire platform.

i believe at this point that that anonymous, account-less tunneling services like this are net negative for the security of the internet

happy to answer any questions from the community

we're excited to continue bringing the magic of ngrok to production workloads. there's no networking to configure, just helm install it. and unlike other ingress controllers, it creates secure internet ingress no matter where your clusters are: EKS, GKE, k3s on your raspberry pi, minikube on your laptop, OpenShift, etc.

I would also love to see better tooling made for creating presentations from code. I usually end up painstakingly custom highlighting code so that it can be stepped through line-by-line on slides which is very ungrateful and frustrating work. I also haven't done this in a while, so if folks have found or made tools that make this easier, please send me recommendations!

ngrok is looking for senior backend distributed systems engineers! Your favorite developer tool is built by a very small company, so there's plenty opportunity to wear multiple hats and a lot of automony shaping the entire product. ngrok has many difficult challenges in distributed systems and networking that you won't find elsewhere in a company of similar size.

The stack is primarily Go (Golang), a little Python and React/Typescript. You should be comfortable with Go, GRPC/Protobuf, AWS and distsys design/architecture.
