## About the Role

* We need genuine depth in network programming with C and C++.
 * We are particularly interested in strong working knowledge of Layer 3 OSI protocols, low-level packet analysis and routing, OSPF, TAP/TUN devices and UDP tunnelling, UDP hole punching and STUN technologies, IPTables and packet routing strategies, code threading and multitasking, IPC and shared-memory communication, and Linux kernel-level development.
 * We would ideally like experience in several of these areas: compilers and static libraries, cross-compiling and porting across iOS, Android, Windows and Linux, containerised microservices using Docker and Kubernetes, CI/CD and GitLab environments, distributed cloud platforms including AWS, Azure and OVH, and development environments including VS Code, GitLab and Nexus.
 * We need a high level of competence in networking, packet routing and packet analysis, together with meaningful experience across at least three or four of the areas above.
 * We would expect around 10+ years of experience designing, architecting and developing sophisticated C++ systems, although depth of expertise matters more than an arbitrary number.
 * We need comfort working in Linux environments, including Debian, CentOS and embedded variants.
 * Ideally, you will understand symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, hashing and secure distributed systems.
 * Previous start-up, IoT, edge computing, GPU/AI or blockchain experience would be useful, but is not essential.

## Description

* We will expect you to design and build technology intended to operate across millions of industrial edge devices.
 * We will rely on you to enable secure cloud-to-edge communication, device-to-device authentication, decentralised routing and interoperability, secure communication across potentially untrusted networks, and robust deployment and configuration for edge environments.
 * You will work deep in the network stack, primarily around OSI Layers 2 and 3, where packet behaviour, routing decisions and tunnelling strategies determine secure communication at scale.
 * You will shape architecture, solve complex networking problems and contribute to security infrastructure that could underpin critical systems around the world.
 * You will document clearly, automate where it makes sense and challenge assumptions constructively.
 * You will help determine how machines authenticate, communicate and establish trust across industrial systems, critical infrastructure and other highly secure environments.
