Senior Software Engineer; Linux, Networking, Rust

Senior Software Engineer (Linux, Networking, Rust)

Our client is looking for a Software Engineer for Control One. This role involves designing, implementing, and optimizing robust backend systems, embedded Rust agents, and Linux‑based network appliances to deliver reliable, secure, and high‑performance solutions.

• Architect, develop, and maintain Linux‑based systems and embedded Rust agents for the Control One Bridge product.
• Design and implement network configurations and protocols to ensure optimal performance and security for a SOHO router/firewall.
• Manage and troubleshoot Linux servers at scale in both customer environments and private cloud environments.
• Analyze and optimize network performance by understanding Linux's frame and packet routing decisions.
• Implement and maintain observability stacks (metrics, logs, events, traces) to ensure system visibility and rapid incident response for distributed environments.
• Debug complex production issues, including deep stack trace analysis for Rust agents and network troubleshooting for Linux systems.
• Collaborate with other engineers to deliver seamless full‑stack features and maintain API contracts for the Control One platform.
• Ensure security and compliance best practices are embedded throughout the software and appliance lifecycle.
• Automate build, deployment, and monitoring workflows using CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and tools specific to embedded development and Linux server management.
• Write clear, maintainable documentation and contribute to a culture of operational excellence and continuous improvement, specifically for Linux server management and networking practices.

• Advanced proficiency in Python for backend programming and Rust for embedded agent development.
• Expertise in Linux server administration and management at scale.
• Deep understanding of computer networking (TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS, routing protocols, firewalls, load balancing, security).
• Strong knowledge of the Linux network stack.
• Experience with embedded systems development and firmware updates.
• Expertise in modern observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Open Telemetry, ELK/Loki) for both application and Linux server monitoring.
• Performance analysis and troubleshooting using eBPF, profilers, distributed tracing tools, and Linux system tools (e.g., tcpdump, iptables, nftables, iproute2).
• Debugging complex issues using stack traces, core dumps, log/event correlation, and network packet analysis.
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud‑native deployment patterns, specifically for Linux‑based systems.
• Experience with version control (Git), CI/CD systems (Git Hub Actions, Circle
  
  CI, Argo), and ticket management (Jira, Azure Dev Ops) for both application development and Linux infrastructure management.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to document and explain technical concepts clearly, especially related to Linux server management and networking.
