🛠️ Requirements
- 10+ years of C/C++ experience in high-performance networking, packet processing, or L7 security engines on NGFW or carrier-grade platforms.
- Strong expertise in SSL/TLS internals — TLS 1.2/1.3, PKI, certificate management, and OpenSSL/BoringSSL.
- Hands-on experience building or optimizing DPI or security service engines (AV, IPS, Content Filtering, or Application Control) on commercial NGFW platforms.
- Proficiency in multi-core, low-latency C/C++ programming — concurrency, memory optimization, and zero-copy techniques.
- Strong debugging and profiling skills across complex, multi-threaded networking environments.
- Familiarity with NGFW security services from leading industry vendors.
- Exposure to modern encrypted protocol standards (HTTP/3, QUIC, DoH, ECH/ESNI).
