Nice To Meet YOU!

Isovalent is the company founded by the creators of Cilium and eBPF. We build open source software and enterprise solutions solving networking, security, and observability needs for modern cloud native infrastructure.

Our team

We are passionate about Linux networking, security, Kubernetes, and especially about the power of eBPF. The team together has contributed decades to open source projects and cares deeply about open collaboration. We are distributed across the world and span nine timezones. Beyond technology, many of us share a love of the outdoors, running, hiking, skiing, climbing and biking.

Come join a fast-growing team and help define the future of open-source networking.

Our Values

Open Source

Building open source software is the engine of our innovation and the root of our engineering culture. We believe that open source leads to great technology and the highest quality software and we apply its best practices across the board.

Inclusive teams

Inclusive teams and culture are very important to us. Inclusive and diverse teams lead to better decisions, creative innovation, and well-balanced teams. From hiring, onboarding to everyday team culture, a welcoming and inclusive work environment enables all team members to collaborate in the most successful way possible.

Remote-first

We strongly believe in a remote-first approach by building teams that work around the world. Our work and communication culture allows teams to be successful regardless of their location. For those interested to work in an office, we offer office locations in Cupertino and Zurich.

Work - Adventure Balance

A startup with talented engineers can be challenging. A lot is going on. Almost everything we do is highly visible by the public. Everything is fast moving and the next big success and big impact moment is always just a sprint away. That can be incredibly exciting and rewarding for you individually and for the entire team. At the same time, it is also demanding and it will draw energy. Cherish the rewarding moments, fight hard for them but also take time to recharge and balance your life. There is no single recipe for great balance, you have to find and maintain it individually. We are here to support each other in that personal balance.

Personal Growth

What growth means exactly will be different for all of us. It may involve growing your technical skills, achieving projects to inspire others or get recognized in the broader open-source community, growing your non-technical skills, working more with other peers and achieving more as a team, leveling-up your compensation, or achieving the ideal work - life balance you always wanted. Your goals are individual and at Isovalent we will do our best to help you achieve your personal growth goals, as individual as they might be.
