Job description
Fortaegis is a fast-scaling, highly ambitious, and cutting-edge semiconductor company.
We are looking for a Distributed Network Engineer to serve as a technical anchor across our networking, security, and distributed system team. This is a high-leverage individual contributor role where you will work towards the direction for large-scale networking and control plane systems, drive cross-organizational technical strategy, and raise the engineering bar across multiple teams. You will operate at the intersection of deep hands-on engineering within the software division of Fortaegis. We are looking for candidates with not only an exceptional skillset but also an exceptional mindset, willing to go above and beyond to make our breakthrough product even better.
Job 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.
