Headquarters: Slovenia URL: http://bunny.net
Staff Software Engineer (Magic Containers) Magic Containers is bunny.net’s edge-native platform for running containerized applications.
It’s fast, flexible, and free from traditional cloud complexity.
No Kubernetes.
No YAML jungles.
Just a simple, powerful way to deploy and scale apps globally with minimal setup.
It’s already running in production, powering real workloads, and we’re ready to take it further.
As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll help evolve a platform that’s built for developers, with great DX, simple operations, and rock-solid reliability.
You’ll work fast, ship often, and have a real voice in shaping the future of how containers run at the edge.
You’re a technical leader who shapes how we build at scale.
You solve problems that cross teams, connect technical and business strategy, and make others better through influence, clarity, and mentorship.
You set direction, not just follow it.
And you leave every system and team stronger than you found them.
You won’t do it alone.
You’ll work with people who challenge what’s possible and take pride in doing things well.
If this sounds like the kind of infrastructure you’d want to help others build with, we’d love to hear from you.
