About the Role

Serve as a technical anchor across networking, security, and distributed systems teams. This high-leverage individual contributor role involves directing large-scale networking and control plane systems, driving cross-organizational technical strategy, and elevating engineering standards across multiple teams. You will operate at the intersection of deep hands-on engineering within Fortaegis's software division.

Responsibilities

Serve as a hands-on staff engineer for distributed networking architecture, owning cross-cutting design decisions that span multiple teams and multi-quarter roadmaps.
Define and drive the technical strategy for routing, switching, and networking control planes at enterprise and ISP scale.
Work with rigorous attention to scalability, fault tolerance, and security.
Work on control plane features: latency optimization, traffic distribution, and multi-region resilience.
Own the design of QoS systems, traffic shaping, and policy enforcement for Fortaegis product solutions.
Work closely with Firmware, Security and Platform engineers towards a goal.
Work on observability, logging, and compliance visibility systems for network security at scale.
Author and champion RFCs, architecture decision records, and technical specifications that shape engineering direction.

Requirements

12+ years of hands-on experience in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, or telecom networking, with a track record of staff-level or equivalent impact.
Deep expertise in routing protocols TCP/IP, QoS, DHCP, and data center / cloud networking architectures.
Strong backend engineering skills in Rust/Go with production-grade distributed systems experience.
Proven ability to design systems processing PB-scale data with multi-tenant isolation and high availability.
Proficiency with Kubernetes, Docker and at least one major cloud platform (OCI, AWS, or equivalent).
Deep understanding of low-level systems: packet processing, hardware interaction and control plane ↔ data plane optimization.
Excellent written and verbal communication — ability to author RFCs, present to leadership, and align distributed teams around a technical direction.
