C++ Developer - Network Security

Job Title: C Developer with Network Security Expertise

Experience: 3 to 7 Years

Location: Bangalore, Hybrid

Role Overview:

The C Developer (Network Security) is responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing secure network applications and systems. This role requires strong expertise in C programming along with network security concepts and protocol analysis. The developer will work on security-related projects, including intrusion detection, packet analysis, and network protocol development, utilizing tools such as Wireshark, Snort, and other cybersecurity frameworks.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain high-performance C applications focused on network security.
• Implement and optimize network security protocols (TLS, SSL, IPSec, etc.).
• Analyse and inspect network traffic using tools like Wireshark, Snort, and Suricata.
• Design and implement intrusion detection and prevention mechanisms.
• Work with packet processing libraries such as libpcap, DPDK, or PF_RING.
• Integrate security solutions with firewalls, IDS/IPS, and SIEM systems.
• Conduct vulnerability assessments and improve secure coding practices.
• Collaborate with the cybersecurity team to enhance security measures.
• Stay updated on emerging threats, exploits, and security best practices.

Required Skills &

• Technologies:
• Programming: C (Modern C - C 11/14/17/20), Multi-threading, STL, Boost
• Network Security: Intrusion detection, packet analysis, network protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, ICMP, etc.)
• Tools &
• Frameworks: Wireshark, Snort, Suricata, Zeek (Bro), Nmap, Metasploit
• Packet Processing &
• Traffic Analysis: libpcap, DPDK, PF_RING
• Cryptography &
• Security Standards: TLS, SSL, IPSec, OpenSSL, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
• Operating Systems: Linux (preferred), Windows networking environments
• Version Control &
