C++ Expert System Developer for a high-performance network traffic processing platform

About the product

A high-performance software platform for processing and analyzing network traffic with a focus on security, fault tolerance and scalability

The solution is used by enterprise customers with high requirements for reliability, throughput and control over network flows

The project is at the stage of developing a new generation of the architecture, which means active participation in design, optimization and technical decision-making

Stack

C++17, C, Linux, DPDK/VPP, make/CMake, GCC, eBPF/netfilter

What you will do

• Development and support of network traffic processing components (NAT, Firewall, VPN, DPI, IDS/IPS) in user space and kernel mode
• Participation in the development and improvement of Linux kernel modules and low-level network components
• Performance optimization for modern hardware platforms, introduction of packet processing acceleration technologies
• Design of algorithms, data structures and multithreaded solutions for high-load systems
• Development of supporting services and tools: daemons, utilities, CLI tools, automation and integrations with external systems
