About this role
Your Role
Are you experienced in leading engineering teams working on cloud-native networking systems? Do you understand how packet processing underpins scalable connectivity platforms?
At emnify, you will lead a team focused on control plane packet processing, a critical part of our platform that bridges telecom protocols and internet-based systems. This domain is central to how we enable reliable, high-performance connectivity at scale.
As part of the Engineering organization, you will take ownership of a team working on one of our most complex and performance-sensitive areas. You will guide both people and technical direction, ensuring the team delivers robust solutions while continuously improving how it operates.
The Packet Gateway environment includes:
• Go for control plane services in a cloud-native architecture
• AWS infrastructure, primarily EKS, with supporting managed services
• Distributed systems communicating via Kafka and gRPC
• Designing solutions based on networking protocols and packet processing concepts
Your Impact
• Lead and develop a team of ~6 engineers, driving performance, clarity, and accountability
• Provide technical direction in control plane packet processing, ensuring sound design and maintainable systems
• Translate engineering priorities into clear plans, managing delivery, risks, and dependencies
• Work closely with adjacent teams to align on architecture, trade-offs, and system evolution
• Build a strong team environment through coaching, feedback, and structured development
Your Skills
• Demonstrated experience leading engineering teams, including ownership of team performance, delivery, and development
• Solid foundation in networking protocols (e.g. TCP/IP, UDP) and telco standards in packet processing (GTP-C, GTP-U)
• Ability to work effectively with Golang-based systems, including reading and understanding production code
• Clear and effective communication, with the ability to align stakeholders, guide decisions, and drive execution
