DNS-layer threat prevention and content filtering for distributed workforces
DNSFilter operates a DNS-based security platform designed to block malware and phishing before they reach endpoints. The tech stack—Python, Go, C/C++, React/Next.js, plus security-focused tools like Wireshark and tcpdump—reflects a network-engineering foundation. Hiring is heavily skewed toward marketing (10 roles) and leadership (13 senior, 6 director positions across all departments), while active projects center on channel expansion and demand generation, signaling a shift from product-first to sales-infrastructure maturity.
DNSFilter provides DNS-layer threat detection and content filtering for organizations with distributed workforces, hybrid work environments, and unmanaged devices. The product operates without client software, securing connections across any network (corporate, public Wi-Fi, IoT) through real-time threat categorization and granular policy controls. Founded in 2015, the company serves over 43,000 organizations and positions itself against firewalls and secure web gateways. Current operational focus spans channel partnership development, go-to-market regional expansion, and demand-generation infrastructure.
