A pioneering technology company, spun out of Oxford research, is disrupting the field of secure interoperability for connected devices. They have developed patented cryptographic technology that enables fully decentralised, post-quantum secure communication between devices operating at the edge, critical for industries ranging from manufacturing to smart cities.
The Role
- Design and build low-level, network-centric C and C++ engineering focusing on OSI Layers 2 and 3.
- Develop technology for secure cloud-to-edge communication, device-to-device authentication, and decentralised routing across millions of industrial edge devices.
- Influence architectural decisions, solve complex networking problems, and contribute to critical security infrastructure.
- Work within a small, specialist engineering team where your contributions will have a significant and visible impact.
- Operate deep in the network stack, focusing on packet behaviour, routing, and tunnelling strategies.
