Senior Networking Engineer (Rust / Systems-Level / Security)

About the Role We’re seeking a seasoned Senior Networking Engineer to help design and implement advanced network infrastructure components focused on security, performance, and resilience. This role involves deep systems-level programming, protocol design, and secure data transport — all within a high-stakes, security-critical environment. You’ll be joining a small, fast-moving team working on ambitious next-generation networking technologies. What You’ll Do Architect and implement secure network communication systems across unreliable and constrained environments Handle low-level packet manipulation, protocol logic, and efficient transport across custom pathways Write high-performance, memory-safe systems code, primarily in Rust Collaborate on strategies for encrypted data tunnels, connection coordination, and identity-based routing Work closely with security engineers to integrate cryptographic protocols and access control models Profile and debug complex network behaviors, bottlenecks, and cross-platform edge cases What We’re Looking For 5+ years of experience building low-level networked systems Deep understanding of TCP/UDP, transport reliability, and real-time data flow Experience with Rust, or advanced systems-level proficiency in C/C++ with a willingness to work in Rust Familiarity with Linux networking, routing, and socket programming Strong background in network security, including secure authentication and encryption techniques Comfortable with asynchronous systems, resource-constrained environments, and protocol debugging Self-directed, proactive, and comfortable working in a startup-style environment Bonus Points For Prior experience building custom network tunnels, proxy systems, or transport-layer logic Knowledge of NAT traversal strategies, coordination protocols, or peer-to-peer networking Experience working with zero-trust or identity-based access models Familiarity with tools like pcap, tcpdump, tshark, and traffic shaping techniques E04JI80034mh407kn8i
