What We’re Looking For

To strengthen the engineering and innovation teams and to support the growth of the company, we are looking for a Senior Satcom/Network Developer to contribute to CYSEC\u2019s effort in driving cybersecurity innovation for satellite communication

Education

• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience

Core profile

• Expert-level Rust (systems programming, async with Tokio, software architecture)
• Strong Linux knowledge (kernel, networking stack, TCP/IP, UDP, Netfilter)
• Advanced networking expertise (congestion control, QoS, routing, VPN, QUIC, bufferbloat)
• Fluent French and professional English

Nice to have

• Experience with satellite communications (link budgets, modulation)
• Knowledge of cryptography and secure protocols (TLS, IPSec)
• Contributions to open-source Rust projects
• DevOps experience (Ansible, Terraform, GitLab CI/CD)

Mindset

• Proactive and ownership-driven
• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Collaborative and team-oriented

Why This Role Matters

ARCA SATCOM is CYSEC’s flagship satellite communication product, combining end-to-end TLS 1.3 encryption with Split-TCP optimization to boost throughput by up to 250% over LEO and GEO satellite links. Already deployed across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, it supports critical communications for defense, government, and commercial networks.

In this context, your role is key to ensuring the performance, reliability, and security of these deployments. You will directly contribute to solving real-world challenges in satellite connectivity, improving how secure communications operate in constrained and high-latency environments, and enabling CYSEC’s technology to scale across global infrastructures
