Lead development and architecture of mission-critical, enterprise-grade SD-WAN and SASE platforms providing real-time network management, cybersecurity, and connectivity optimization for geographically distributed organizations. Design high-availability systems that manage multiple simultaneous network connections across satellite, cellular, and terrestrial infrastructures with sub-millisecond latency and 99.99% uptime requirements for thousands of concurrent network nodes.

Software Development: Write, test, and debug enterprise-scale applications, managing real-time network traffic routing, bandwidth aggregation, and security enforcement across heterogeneous infrastructures. Develop applications that process millions of network packets per second with deterministic latency guarantees. Engineer fault-tolerant systems, maintaining service continuity during outages, failures, and cybersecurity incidents affecting multi-site enterprise deployments.

System Design & Architecture: Design cloud-native, distributed systems ensuring scalability for thousands of concurrent nodes, 99.999% (five-nines) availability, and comprehensive security against advanced threats. Architect enterprise-grade SASE solutions, consolidating networking/security functions into unified cloud services, enabling secure remote access for distributed workforces while maintaining regulatory compliance. Collaborate in delivering SD-WAN platforms, routing traffic across LEO/GEO satellites, multi-carrier 4G/5G, and broadband connections.

Technical Leadership: Lead a team of software developers. Conduct code reviews, ensuring adherence to best practices, security standards, and performance optimization for network-intensive applications processing high-volume data streams. Mentor developers on complex networking protocols, distributed systems design patterns, and cybersecurity implementation strategies.

Problem Solving & Optimization: Analyze complex technical problems involving network congestion, latency bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and system scalability limitations affecting enterprise network infrastructure serving thousands of concurrent users. Optimize performance through advanced packet processing techniques, custom network flow tracking algorithms, intelligent traffic engineering mechanisms, bandwidth aggregation, QoS enforcement, and maintaining optimal user experience during peak usage periods.

Project Technical Guidance: Lead delivery of large-scale, mission-critical networking projects involving enterprise-wide network transformations across hundreds of remote locations. Coordinate integration with existing legacy systems, oversee deployment of cloud-managed network infrastructure supporting business-critical operations.

Use the following tools and technologies to perform the above job duties: Programming: Golang, C++; Networking & Systems: eBPF, tc, iproute2, custom flow tracking, WAN aggregation, Layer 2 VPN; Containers & Cloud: Docker, Kubernetes, Istio, AWS integration, gRPC, Prometheus, InfluxDB, Grafana, and TCP/IP. Other similar duties as assigned.

Special Requirements:Experience to include: Golang, C++, eBPF, tc, iproute2, custom flow tracking, WAN aggregation, Layer 2 VPN, Docker, Kubernetes, Istio, AWS integration, gRPC, Prometheus, InfluxDB, Grafana, and TCP/IP.
