About the Role

As a Software Engineer II, you will play a key role in shaping the next generation of network observability for a platform that bridges traditional enterprise infrastructure with cloud-native 5G environments. Your work will directly impact how service providers, enterprises, and AI-driven applications monitor, analyze, and optimize their network performance.

What You'll Do

  • Design and implement scalable telemetry and analytics solutions within a Kubernetes-based architecture
  • Define technical direction for product features, balancing innovation with architectural integrity
  • Diagnose and resolve complex system-level issues across distributed microservices
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine product scope and technical feasibility
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team-wide technical excellence
  • Develop clear design specifications and functional documentation
  • Support customer-facing technical initiatives and present solutions internally and externally

What We're Looking For

  • Strong programming expertise in C, C++, or Go with a solid grasp of data structures, algorithms, and inter-process communication
  • Deep understanding of networking protocols including IP, TCP, UDP, DNS, and HTTP
  • Proven experience building and operating microservices in Kubernetes environments
  • Familiarity with cloud networking, storage, and security models in public cloud platforms
  • Strong analytical and debugging skills with a methodical approach to problem solving

Preferred Background

  • Experience with AWS S3/EC2 or Google Cloud Storage/Compute Engine
  • Working knowledge of container networking interfaces (CNI) and cloud routing
  • Hands-on with Linux systems, node-level storage, and Kubernetes RBAC
  • Proficiency in GitLab, GitHub, or similar version control systems
  • Self-driven learning in emerging technologies with limited formal training
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially in technical documentation and collaboration

Environment and Expectations

This role operates in a fast-moving, technically demanding setting where adaptability and initiative are essential. You should be comfortable learning independently, working across distributed teams, and contributing to a culture of inclusion and technical rigor. The position supports flexible leveling and global collaboration, reflecting a mindset that values diverse perspectives and continuous growth.

Compensation and Benefits

Base salary range: $124,800 – $187,200. Additional compensation includes incentive pay, bonuses, and restricted stock units. Comprehensive health benefits, paid time off, professional development opportunities, and relocation support are available. The company fosters a diverse, inclusive workplace with a focus on integrity, collaboration, and innovation.
