• Multi-Cloud Integration: Work with cloud platform APIs (AWS, Azure, VMware, Proxmox, OpenStack) for VPC/VNET peering, VM management, and network configuration.
• Linux Networking: Configure and troubleshoot Linux networking components including routing tables, network namespaces, iptables/nftables, and network interfaces.
• Network Troubleshooting: Debug network connectivity issues using tools like tcpdump, traceroute, netstat, and vtysh. Analyze network traffic and routing behavior in production systems.
• Testing Practices: Develop and implement tests to ensure code quality and application reliability. Understand and appreciate the importance of comprehensive testing in the software development lifecycle.
• Software Design: Apply Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles and software design patterns to build scalable and maintainable backend systems.
• Technology Adaptation: Quickly and efficiently pick up new technologies, networking protocols, and methodologies to stay ahead of industry trends and improve development processes.
• Drive and Ambition: Demonstrate a strong drive and ambition, with a keen interest in networking technology, infrastructure automation, and continuous learning.
• Self-Motivation: Exhibit self-motivation and the ability to work independently while contributing effectively to team objectives.
• Problem-Solving Acumen: Evaluate and reason through multiple solutions for complex network and system integration problems, demonstrating strong analytical and judgment skills.
• Security Awareness: Implement best practices for building secure network applications, ensuring that security is integrated into the development process.

• BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• Programming Experience (AT LEAST ONE):
  • At least 1-2 years of Golang experience (preferred)
  • OR At least 1-2 years of C/C++ experience (we can teach you Golang)
  • OR Strong Python experience with willingness to learn Golang
• At least 2 years of backend development or system programming experience
• Experience with Rest API, gRPC, or similar API protocols
• Experience with databases: MySQL or PostgreSQL, Redis
• Networking Knowledge (MUST HAVE):
  • TCP/IP fundamentals: Understanding of routing tables, IP addressing, subnetting
  • Linux networking: Experience with network interfaces, routing configuration, firewall basics
  • Network troubleshooting: Experience with tcpdump, netstat, ss, ip commands, or similar tools
  • Network experience in at least one area:
    • Worked with network devices (routers, switches, firewalls)
    • OR Cloud networking (VPC peering, security groups, load balancers)
    • OR Telecom/IoT systems with network protocols
    • OR Production network troubleshooting
• Experience on working with Kubernetes/Docker is a plus
• Experience on working with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/VMware/Proxmox) is a plus
• Highly Preferred:
  • Knowledge of routing protocols: BGP, OSPF, or static routing
  • Experience with VoIP protocols: SIP, RTP/RTCP
  • Experience with MQTT (in telecom/embedded context)
  • Experience with VRF, VPN protocols (WireGuard, IPsec)
  • Experience with network devices: VyOS, MikroTik, Cisco, Juniper, FRRouting
  • Both Golang AND C/C++ experience (if you have one, we can teach the other)
  • Network certifications: CCNA, CCNP, or equivalent
