  • Strong networking fundamentals: TCP/UDP, routing (static/dynamic), firewalls (iptables/nftables), traffic control (tc);
  • Experience with Wi-Fi stack concepts (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be), WPA2/WPA3 security, EAP/SAE;
  • Comfortable with Git and typical embedded build systems (OpenWrt/Buildroot, cross-compilation, toolchains);
  • Experience with AI tools - Claude, Codex, etc;
  • Fluent in English and Lithuanian.

Nice to have:

  • Linux wireless/driver experience (mac80211/cfg80211, NL80211); familiarity with ath10k/ath11k/mt76;
  • Hands-on with hostapd/wpa_supplicant customization and control interfaces;
  • Experience with chipset SDKs (Qualcomm Atheros, MediaTek) and board bring-up;
  • RF basics and validation: link budget/SNR/MCS, spectral scan, regulatory domains (FCC/ETSI), DFS certification;
  • Mesh networking (802.11s/EasyMesh), band/steering, roaming optimization (k/v/r);
  • Traffic analysis/diagnostics with Wireshark, tcpdump, radiotap, iPerf3, IxChariot; automated test frameworks;
  • Python/Bash for tooling, CI/CD familiarity, DPI/traffic classification exposure.

Benefits:

  • International work environment and work with global development teams;
  • Ability to deliver software that is used by millions of people across the globe;
