Job summary

Remote is seeking a Software Engineer (Edge - Networking & Fleet) to design and operate scalable edge networking and fleet infrastructure for a large residential device network. The role focuses on building a scalable scheduling platform, improving proxy services, and managing devices across Windows, Android, and Linux in a remote-first environment.

You will work with distributed control planes, data planes, networking services, and fleet management capabilities, tackling complex challenges in

Qualifications

At least 5 years of professional Rust experience, including building, deploying, and operating production services end to end.
Demonstrated experience designing and operating distributed systems at scale.
Strong understanding of distributed-systems concepts, including consistency, network partitions, backpressure, and idempotency.
Deep networking knowledge covering TCP, TLS, HTTP, and packet-level behavior.
Practical experience with gRPC and long-lived connections across NAT environments and unreliable networks.
Experience building or operating forward proxies, proxy gateways, or residential/ISP proxy infrastructure.
Understanding of IP reputation, session stickiness, proxy pool health, and traffic routing.
Production operations experience, including defining SLOs and error budgets, observability, on-call rotations.
Familiarity with cross-platform Rust development for Windows, Linux, and Android, including FFI boundaries.
Strong written communication and collaboration in a globally distributed, remote-first team.

Responsibilities

Scale the existing data plane by evolving the command-and-control service into a horizontally scalable fetch scheduler for 50-100 million requests per day.
Design and build the Fleet Manager control plane, including provider adapters, inventory and health management, configuration, reconciliation, rollout control, and metrics export to BigQuery.
Develop provider integrations to onboard additional device sources through standardized workflows.
Own and improve the CONNECT proxy gateway, edge session management, IP reputation, proxy leases, and scheduling with other teams.
Engineer secure and reliable networking between control services and residential peers using mTLS, gRPC, long-polling, and streaming over unreliable connections.
Address NAT, carrier-grade NAT, bandwidth accounting, connection reliability, and resource contention in networking.
Define and maintain service-level objectives for availability, request success, and latency across the Edge route.
Build observability and operational metrics for peer availability, device drop-off, bandwidth usage, and provider performance.
Implement safe blue/green deployments and software rollouts for control services and edge peers.
Participate in on-call rotation, lead incident post-mortems, and translate findings into improvements.
Produce technical design documents for scheduling, fleet management, and failover strategies.
Review designs and promote distributed-systems best practices like consistency, backpressure, idempotency, and limited failure impact.
