Job Summary

Job Description

We are developing a custom high-load IPsec backend on AWS to support over 20,000 IKEv2 tunnels for connected vehicles. This involves dual-modem WAN bonding and custom StrongSwan gateways, with an IPv6-only setup. The role requires an experienced network engineer with software development skills to build this platform. Responsibilities include implementing redirector and tunnel-terminator logic for numerous parallel IPsec tunnels, designing control-plane logic for steering per-vehicle traffic, embedding client identity into the protocol stack, writing automation for Linux networking and AWS primitives, and building observability for IPsec sessions at scale. Debugging packet flows and assisting in designing testable redirect and failover scenarios are also key.
Must have:
  • Deep understanding of Linux networking stack (iptables, XFRM/IPsec, netfilter, conntrack).
  • Experience configuring StrongSwan (IKEv2, CHILD_SA lifecycles, MOBIKE, VICI).
  • Solid AWS knowledge (Advanced Networking Specialty level or equivalent).
  • Capable of developing code.
  • Comfortable reading packet traces (tcpdump, Wireshark) and analyzing kernel behavior.
Good to have:
  • Experience building custom VPN plugins (StrongSwan, Libreswan).
  • Kernel-space or eBPF experience.
  • Previous work on mobility protocols or embedded network stacks.
  • Familiarity with QNX or automotive telematics protocols.
  • Hands-on experience with VPP, DPDK, or packet reordering logic.
  • IPv6 edge deployment experience.
  • AWS Advanced Networking Specialty certification.
