Software Engineer (TelCo)

Position Overview

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Telco Software Development team, responsible for designing and building innovative telecom software solutions and components. This is a hands‑on engineering role for individuals motivated by creating genuinely novel software in a fast‑moving, greenfield environment.

You will be part of a small, high‑ownership team where your code is deployed into real network infrastructure, and where the technical decisions you help make directly shape the long‑term differentiation of the platform. Candidates may come from a strong software engineering background (systems and backend, ideally with telecom exposure) or from related engineering disciplines with solid software development skills.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, build, and deploy telecom software components across the platform

Translate architectural designs, interface control documents (ICDs), and functional and nonfunctional requirements into clean, well-tested, production ready code

Develop modular, maintainable software in accordance with established coding standards, with clear documentation and meaningful code comments

Implement and maintain integration tests, regression test suites, and performance benchmarks for developed components

Troubleshoot and resolve issues across the software stack, including protocol behavior, interface mismatches, performance bottlenecks, and deployment failures

Participate in architecture, design, and code reviews, providing and incorporating constructive technical feedback

Support system level integration and acceptance testing to ensure delivered software meets defined quality and performance criteria

Contribute to the team’s agile delivery process, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, and reliable delivery against milestones

Use, maintain, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines, automated test frameworks, and containerized development environments

Maintain technical documentation such as component designs, API contracts, test results, and operational runbooks

Collaborate with cross functional teams to clarify requirements, validate assumptions, and ensure solutions meet operational and business needs

Qualifications

Education:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Telecommunications Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.

Experience:

A minimum of 3+ years of professional software development experience – exposure to telecom or network related development projects is a plus.

Strong proficiency in either C/C++ or Go – experience or interest to master Rust is a plus

Proficiency in Bash/Python for scripting, tooling, and test automation

Solid command of data structures, algorithms, concurrency, memory management, and system design for high-performance or low-latency applications

Good understanding of networking concepts — TCP/IP stack, socket programming, protocol design, and inter-process communication patterns relevant to network software

Proficient with Git - comfortable working in a team environment with code review, branching strategies, and CI/CD workflows

Comfortable developing and debugging in Linux/Unix environments

Experience writing unit tests, integration tests, and contributing to test automation frameworks

English proficiency at B2 level or above; able to collaborate effectively with peers and architects in a globally distributed team

Soft Skills:

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills - able to break down complex, under-defined problems and deliver working software iteratively

High ownership mentality - take personal responsibility for the quality and correctness of your own work, not just task completion

Collaborative and communicative - actively participates in design discussions, code reviews, and cross-functional conversations

Curious and self-directed - proactively learns domain context (telecom protocols, network architecture) beyond what is immediately required for the next ticket

Comfortable with ambiguity and greenfield work - able to operate effectively when specifications are evolving and there is no legacy codebase to reference

Attention to detail in code quality, test coverage, and documentation

Technology Stack:

Primary Languages: C/C++, Go, Rust, Python (scripting/testing)

Docker, Kubernetes, Helm

GCC/Clang, cross-compilation toolchains where applicable

GitHub Actions / GitLab CI, ArgoCD, automated test pipelines

Git (GitHub / GitLab)

gRPC, RESTful APIs, Kafka

Prometheus, Grafana

Jira, Confluence

Markdown, Mermaid, PlantUML

Physical Requirements

Ability to work in a standard office or remote home-office environment and use a computer for extended periods

Ability to participate in occasional after-hours incident response actions
