This role sits at the intersection of Network Engineering, Product, Solutions Engineering, and Finance, converting a growing partner pipeline into predictable, on-time launches. You will build and define the onboarding program, release cadence, and launch-readiness standards from the ground up to ensure seamless traffic flow and correct financial settlement., * Own the MNO technical onboarding program end-to-end from the core/signalling/billing lens - integration milestones, dependencies, Definitions of Done, and cutover plans across the partner lifecycle. * Drive signaling delivery programs: Diameter interfaces (S6a, SGd), MAP-over-IPX via IWF, DRA configuration and routing policy, SMS-over-NAS enablement, and roaming signalling readiness per partner. * Coordinate billing & settlement programs: TAP3 / RAP / NRTRDE exchange, BCE readiness, mediation and rating, CDR integrity and reconciliation, and integration with settlement and finance systems. * Program-manage the multi-supplier roaming stack - supplier onboarding, contractual/technical cutover, parallel-run and rollback planning, and de-risking the transition away from single-supplier dependency. * Run program governance: maintain roadmaps, RAID logs, release trains, and cross-functional launch-readiness reviews; make dependencies and risks visible before they become escalations. * Own the metrics that matter: onboarding cycle time, signalling success/attach rates, routing correctness, CDR and settlement accuracy, and billing-run reliability - and report them to engineering and commercial leadership. * Be the translation layer between deep network engineering and commercial/partner stakeholders, so that partner commitments and network reality stay aligned. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [AI Agents & Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2017-ai-agents-agentic-ai) - [Creating a routing app with Google Maps API from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/831-creating-a-routing-app-with-google-maps-api-from-scratch) - [Unlocking the potential of Digital & IT at Vodafone](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/602-unlocking-the-potential-of-digital-it-at-vodafone) - [Physical AI: The Era of Intelligent Machines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100141-physical-ai-the-era-of-intelligent-machines) - [A Technical Introduction to Bitcoin's 2nd Layer- The Lightning Network](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/15-a-technical-introduction-to-bitcoin-s-2nd-layer-the-lightning-network) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [The CAMARA Project: How Telcos Collaborating Improves Developer Experience](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/671-the-camara-project-how-telcos-collaborating-improves-developer-experience) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
