Research & Innovation Software Developer
AI Summary
Develops and prototypes algorithms for disaggregated RAN, security, and radio resource management; designs xApp/rApp solutions using RIC APIs; deploys AI/ML models for network optimization on cloud-native platforms.
About this role
Key Responsibilities
Implement and prototype innovative algorithms for disaggregated RAN, security/Zero Trust, and Radio Resource Management (RRM). Potentially with the use of L1/L2/L3 emulators (commercial ones as well).
Design and implement xApp/rApp applications for the ecosystem using RIC API and E2/R2 interfaces.
Deploy AI/ML-driven solutions for network optimization (e.g. based on reinforcement learning, swarm optimization or similar
Work with cloud-native technologies (Kubernetes) to deploy and scale network applications.
Collaborate on research projects that may lead to patent applications (and/or papers).
Integrate selected security solutions e.g. encryption (TLS/PKI, IPSec), Zero Trust architectures.
Requirements
Strong programming skills in Python (prototyping, AI/ML) - JAVA or C/C++ knowledge will be a plus.
Good understanding of 5G/6G architecture
Experience working in cloud-native environments: Kubernetes, CI/CD.
Basic knowledge of security principles (e.g. Zero Trust, TLS/PKI, IPSec).
Ability to rapidly prototype solutions and work with technical documentation (3GPP).
Good command of English.
Nice-to-Have
Experience in Radio Resource Management (scheduling, interference management, load balancing).
Hands-on experience creating xApp/rApp applications (RIC SDK, E2/R1 interface).
Practical AI/ML experience: reinforcement learning, anomaly detection.
Knowledge of libraries and HW suitable for fronthaul/midhaul optimization (eCPRI, DPDK, eBPF, SmartNIC/GPU).
Experience in MLOps (deploying AI models in telecom environments).
Familiarity with network simulators: MATLAB, ns-3.
R&D experience (publications, patents).
How we work
Loyalty & team spirit — we have each other's backs, always.
Sincerity & openness — we say what we think, even when it's uncomfortable.
Courage & ambition — we take positions, defend them, and aim high.
"How can I help?" attitude — we help because we want to, not because we have to.
Out of the comfort zone — we build things that haven't been built before. That's the point.
Zero-latency — we act. No waiting, no procrastinating, no excuses.
