Senior Technical Lead —Platform (End-to-End)
AI Summary
Owns the end-to-end architecture and reliability of a Near-RT RIC platform that processes live radio-network telemetry and makes automated control decisions in under one second across 50+ interdependent microservices.
About this role
What You'll Do:
-
Own the architecture and reliability of a distributed, real-time system spanning C, C++, and Go, where control decisions must complete end-to-end in well under one second.
-
Work across the full stack of the platform: RAN-facing protocol termination (SCTP, ASN.1 PER-encoded E2AP), a custom high-throughput messaging layer, stateful in-memory data services (Redis), and the microservices built on top of them.
-
Lead cross-cutting technical initiatives — protocol upgrades, major library and version migrations, and platform-wide reliability and performance work — across a system of 50+ interdependent services.
-
Set architectural direction and technical standards for a fast-moving, multi-team codebase, and act as the escalation point when an issue crosses service boundaries.
- Review and guide design for the platform's most latency- and safety-critical components: message routing, subscription and state management, and RAN protocol handling.
- Mentor engineers across the stack, from systems-level C/C++ engineers to Go service developers.
-
What We're Looking For:
-
8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with deep, hands-on proficiency in C/C++ and Go.
-
Real experience with low-latency, high-throughput distributed systems — message
routing/queuing, stateful services, and correctness under concurrency at scale.
-
Comfort working close to the metal: sockets, protocol encoding/decoding, performance profiling, and Linux systems-level debugging.
-
Experience designing or operating systems built from dozens of independent, interacting microservices.
-
A track record of leading complex, multi-team technical initiatives from design through production rollout.
Nice to Have:
-
Experience with telecom or networking protocols (SCTP, ASN.1, or similar binary/wire protocols); O-RAN, 5G, or 4G RAN experience is a strong plus.
-
Experience with Kubernetes-based deployment of network functions, and with Redis, Kafka, or comparable stateful/streaming infrastructure.
-
Experience building or maintaining custom messaging or routing layers.
What We Offer:
-
Ownership of one of the most technically diverse systems in telecom — sub-second real-time control, ML-driven automation, and everything in between.
-
Direct influence over the architecture of a growing, open-standards-based platform.
