System Architect

A successful, global networking technology unicorn developing cloud-native software solutions that optimize network capacity and minimize costs for major telecommunications and enterprise providers.

Backed by a substantial Series C funding round, the company engineers high-performance software architectures that merge high-frequency data routing with enterprise-grade protection fabrics.

Operating with a significant global workforce, the company maintains elite engineering powerhouses in Israel to drive next-generation infrastructure innovation.

The company offers dual-site flexibility between its central tech hub and Sharon region facility (both highly train-accessible), operating on a hybrid work model.

Key Responsibilities-

• Architecting scalable, low-latency Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) and Host-Based Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS) utilizing both behavioral anomaly and signature-based detection methodologies.
• Designing high-performance protocol normalization frameworks and encrypted traffic analysis pipelines (SSL/TLS decryption and profiling).
• Defining core system policies for Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) architectures, secure policy-based routing, and encrypted tunneling protocols.
• Developing efficient pattern-matching algorithms and real-time inspection layers optimized to process massive data footprints with microsecond-level latency overhead.
• Serving as the ultimate technical authority across R&D branches, reviewing complex system designs, and conducting rigorous security threat modeling.
• Engineering Ecosystem- IPS/HIDS, DPI Engines, L4–L7 Inspection, Next-Gen Firewalling (NGFW), Protocol Normalization, Encrypted Traffic Analysis, TCP/IP Stack, BGP, IPsec, TLS, Pattern-Matching Algorithms, and Threat Scoring Frameworks.

Requirements-

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a highly related quantitative technical discipline (Mandatory).
• 4+ years of dedicated professional experience in R&D or System Architecture specifically focused on high-scale networking and security products (Mandatory).
• Comprehensive, expert-level understanding of IPS/HIDS principles (signature vs. anomaly detection, behavioral tracking, evasion techniques) and L4–L7 traffic inspection (Mandatory).
• Robust technical background in core network protocols (TCP/IP stack, DNS, HTTP/S, TLS, IPsec, BGP), protocol vulnerabilities, and complex firewall architectures (Mandatory).
• Deep engineering familiarity with DPI engine internals, advanced pattern-matching algorithms, and structural threat-scoring frameworks (Mandatory).
• Specialized academic background, professional focus, or industry-recognized certifications within Cybersecurity is required.
