A senior C++ engineering role focused on low-level, network-centric development across OSI Layers 2 and 3. You will work on secure cloud-to-edge communication, device authentication, decentralized routing, packet behavior, and tunneling while influencing architecture within a specialist engineering team.
Highlights
High-impact senior engineering work on advanced networking and security infrastructure, with significant architectural influence and visibility in a small specialist team. The role offers challenging low-level engineering problems and exposure to large-scale edge systems.
Description
A pioneering technology company, spun out of Oxford research, is disrupting the field of secure interoperability for connected devices.
They have developed patented cryptographic technology that enables fully decentralised, post-quantum secure communication between devices operating at the edge, critical for industries ranging from manufacturing to smart cities.
The Role
Design and build low-level, network-centric C and C++ engineering focusing on OSI Layers 2 and 3.
Develop technology for secure cloud-to-edge communication, device-to-device authentication, and decentralised routing across millions of industrial edge devices.
Influence architectural decisions, solve complex networking problems, and contribute to critical security infrastructure.
Work within a small, specialist engineering team where your contributions will have a significant and visible impact.
Operate deep in the network stack, focusing on packet behaviour, routing, and tunnelling strategies.
What You'll Need
Genuine depth in network programming with C and C++.
Strong working knowledge of Layer 3 OSI protocols, low-level packet analysis, and routing.
Experience with OSPF, TAP/TUN devices, UDP tunnelling, UDP hole punching, STUN technologies, IPTables, and packet routing strategies.
Proficiency in code threading, multitasking, IPC, shared-memory communication, and Linux kernel-level development.
10+ years of experience designing, architecting, and developing sophisticated C++ systems (depth of expertise is key).
Comfort operating in Linux environments (Debian, CentOS, embedded variants) and understanding of cryptography and distributed systems.
What's On Offer
Opportunity to work with patented, commercially relevant security technology with global application.
Significant equity alongside a competitive base salary.
A role where your work directly influences the future of critical global security infrastructure.
Be part of a growing team, scaling a proven technology beyond academic research.
