Contribute to real-world deployments designed to scale globally
You'll Succeed If You Have:
A degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
Experience developing network software for mobile or telecom systems
Solid understanding of wireless protocols and mobile core network architecture
Hands-on coding experience in C, C , or Python, and confidence in Linux environments
Familiarity with telecom standards and protocol stacks (e.g., LTE, GSM, SIP, Diameter, etc.)
Bonus Experience (Not Required):
Network debugging tools and low-level troubleshooting (e.g., gdb, valgrind)
Virtualization, cloud-native networking, or distributed systems
Exposure to OSS/BSS, RAN architecture, mobility and handover procedures
End-to-end network integration or systems engineering in regulated industries
What's in It for You:
Equity ownership in a rapidly scaling company
A collaborative team culture with zero micromanagement
True work-life balance - no weekend expectations
Opportunity to work on technology that impacts people's lives at global scale
Flat structure with real autonomy, respect, and room to grow
