The Opportunity

As a Software Engineer, you will build the core systems that secure end-to-end mobile communications. Your work will directly impact how users are protected across the communications stack—from device-level safeguards to hardened network infrastructure.

• Design & Integrate: Build foundational telecommunications infrastructure that ensures secure, resilient connectivity.

• Own the Lifecycle: Take end-to-end ownership of critical components—from design through deployment.

• Raise the Bar: Contribute to high engineering standards through code reviews and best practices.

• Enable Scale: Develop reliable, high-performance systems that empower other teams to build securely and efficiently.

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience

• Strong foundation in Computer Science or related technical field

• Fluency in Golang, Rust, Java/Kotlin, or Python

• Solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• US Citizenship (Required) / Active U.S. security clearance or eligibility

• Conduct Business Negotiations in Mandarin

• Maintain strong relationships with Taiwan-based partners (50% travel)

Why This Role

• Real ownership and autonomy

• Fast-moving, builder-oriented culture

• Backed by top-tier investors

• Opportunity to shape foundational infrastructure in a critical domain
