More than 6 million developers at companies like Zendesk, Copado, and Veritas trust ngrok to get their apps online faster and keep security happy.

  • Online in one line. ngrok is the leading way to make any application, device, or service globally available in seconds. ngrok wraps the complexity of authentication, remote management, load balancing, and even the unpredictable nature of the network itself into a programmable component embeddable into any stack. ngrok is used by over 5 million developers and is recommended by the best software companies such as Twilio, Github, Okta, Microsoft, Zoom, and Shopify.

  • “Ngrok fosters three major communities: its employees, its users, and the broad IT and developer community. As a remote-first company, ngrok takes deliberate efforts to bring its people close together by organizing bi-monthly introspection hours, recurring team gatherings, and bi-annual company offsites. These events help ngrokers connect, share more about their work and life, and get to know each other. Ngrok also promotes a lighthearted work culture by having special roles like our Chief Emoji Officer and Chief Dad Joke Officer. To build a strong user community, ngrok established a Slack community where users can connect with the company at any time. Additionally, the company created "local host" events to bring its internal teams in touch with its users. By engaging with users, our employees can better empathize with their mission, struggles, and help them to get a delightful and helpful experience. ngrok is also fully committed to contributing to the IT and developer community. By open-sourcing our tools and education assets like webhooks.fyi and fwing. In addition, we have a policy that pays for and encourage ngrokers to speak at technical events, giving back to the wider tech community.”

  • “Grow: We offer personal learning and development budgets for our team to attend classes, conferences or speaking engagements. - Connect: We set aside time every week for an introspection hour where everyone at ngrok splits into small groups to share how they're feeling about work and life. - Recharge: Most team members take at least four weeks off each year in addition to national holidays. Our vacation policy is flexible so that employees can take the time off that they need to come to work happy, rested and motivated.”
