genua builds network security and encryption solutions for public authorities and critical infrastructure operators in German-speaking markets. The stack spans OpenBSD, VPN, firewalls, and Windows-native tooling (Active Directory, WFP), paired with Ruby on Rails and React for management interfaces. Security and engineering dominate hiring (41 of 62 open roles), with mid-level engineers as the core, and the org is actively scaling test automation and transitioning to Microsoft ERP—suggesting both product maturation pressure and internal modernization work.
