Senior Software Architect
On-siteFull-timeSoftware ArchitectureTelecommunications
Lead the architecture, reliability, and technical direction of a low-latency Near-RT RIC platform for Open RAN networks. The role spans C, C++, Go, telecom protocols, messaging, stateful services, and more than 50 interconnected microservices.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture and reliability of a distributed real-time system whose control decisions complete in under one second.
- Lead work across RAN-facing protocol termination, high-throughput messaging, Redis-backed state services, and platform microservices.
- Direct protocol upgrades, library and version migrations, reliability improvements, and performance initiatives across more than 50 services.
- Set architectural direction and technical standards for a multi-team codebase.
- Review designs for latency- and safety-critical message routing, subscription, state management, and RAN protocol components.
- Act as the escalation point for issues spanning service boundaries.
- Mentor C/C++ systems engineers and Go service developers.
Requirements
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Deep hands-on proficiency in C or C++ and Go.
- Experience with low-latency, high-throughput distributed systems, including message routing, queuing, stateful services, and concurrency at scale.
- Experience designing or operating systems composed of dozens of interacting microservices.
- Proficiency with sockets, protocol encoding and decoding, performance profiling, and Linux systems-level debugging.
- Experience leading complex, multi-team technical initiatives from design through production rollout.
Nice to have
- Telecom or networking protocol experience, including SCTP, ASN.1, O-RAN, 5G, or 4G RAN.
- Kubernetes-based deployment of network functions.
- Experience with Redis, Kafka, or comparable stateful and streaming infrastructure.
- Experience building or maintaining custom messaging or routing layers.
Benefits
- Ownership of a technically diverse telecom platform with sub-second real-time control and ML-driven automation.
- Direct influence over the architecture of an open-standards-based platform.
- Opportunity to work on energy-efficient Open RAN technology deployed worldwide.
- Inclusive and diverse working environment.
