Our award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.
In this role, you will evolve the Keysight Network Visibility (NVS) product line to support Service Provider features and newer technologies (e.g. 5G, 6G core network 3GPP standards). The NVS products allow our customers to tap, aggregate, filter, sample, and perform many other functions on network traffic for monitoring and analysis.
- MobileStack – monitoring of customer traffic from a mobile user/session perspective (e.g. GTP, SIP/RTP)
- AppStack – monitoring of customer traffic from an application perspective (i.e. L4-L7)
- SecureStack – providing secure encryption/decryption for TLS1.3 (Active SSL)
- TradeVision – stock trading monitoring and analysis tool
- PacketStack – standard packet broker features such as aggregation, deduplication, masking, etc.
- NetStack – port tagging and VLAN stripping
- KVO – Keysight Vision Orchestrator – manages all the products and applications
The focus of this job will be on mobility related functionality for the Service Providers, such as control plane/user plane correlation, meta data and orchestration. This includes virtualization of products and machine learning applications.
- Design, prototype and iterate on creative concepts to meet our user mobility requirements.
- Implement core network related protocol parsers and logic to provide filtering and sampling on mobile network parameters.
- Virtualize functions.
- Develop proof of concept applications for trialing with customers.
- Identifying methods for correlating user traffic to specific probes and patent methods.
- Participate in definition of new software product features and software.
- Rapidly solve problems and fix bugs.
- Participate in design and code reviews.
- Develop unit tests and perform feature/integration testing.
- Provide input and help resolve customer escalations for product issues.
- Use testing equipment (IxNetwork/IxLoad) or other popular traffic tools for traffic generation and protocol simulation.
- Collaborate closely with peers, including QA engineers and software developers in a distributed environment (US, Romania).
- Contribute new ideas and methods to continuously improve product quality and development efficiency.
- Working towards completing a BS in computer science or related discipline.
- Coding in C++.
- Familiar with GIT.
- Strong debugging methodology.
- Familiarity with some type of protocol development helpful (wireless protocols, security protocols, Wireshark, etc.) is a plus.
- Exposure to telecom, service providers, communications a big plus.
- Extremely good English verbal communications skills and a desire for strong team collaboration.
- Experience with virtualization and microservice development (e.g. PODs, Kubernetes, Docker containers, Redis database) is a plus.

Tips for Your Remote Senior Software Developer Job Search
Signal async-first communication skills upfront
Remote engineering teams depend on written clarity over live meetings. Show this in your application by keeping your resume achievements specific and outcome-focused, and come to interviews prepared to walk through how you document decisions, hand off context, and unblock teammates across time zones.
Build a portfolio that speaks for itself
Remote employers can't watch you work, so your GitHub profile, deployed projects, and any public technical writing serve as your proof of craft. Prioritize showcasing work where you owned the architecture or led a feature end-to-end, because senior remote roles require demonstrated initiative, not just contribution.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote senior software developer openings from companies hiring across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your stack and experience level and apply directly without sorting through unrelated postings.
Prepare for remote-specific technical screening
Remote hiring often includes asynchronous take-home assessments and multi-stage video interviews with engineers across time zones. Practice explaining your architectural decisions out loud and in writing, since remote teams use both formats to evaluate how well a senior developer communicates complex trade-offs without a whiteboard.
Remote Senior Software Developer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote senior software developer job?
Remote senior software developer roles go to candidates who can demonstrate both technical depth and the ability to operate independently without daily oversight. Remote engineering teams screen hard for asynchronous written communication, self-directed problem-solving, and ownership of outcomes. A public portfolio, strong GitHub activity, and documented experience shipping features or leading technical decisions on distributed teams all give you a concrete edge over candidates who only show in-office work history.
Which companies hire remote senior software developers?
Employers currently hiring remote senior software developers include CVS Health, Shutterfly, and ServiceNow, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Remote-first technology companies, distributed SaaS teams, and fintech firms with engineering talent spread across time zones make up the largest share of remote senior software developer openings.
Can you get a remote senior software developer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles for software developers are harder to land because employers expect you to ramp up quickly with minimal hand-holding. Early-career paths that work remotely include contributing to open-source projects, building a portfolio of deployed side projects, and targeting small remote-first startups or contract roles that value demonstrated output over years logged. Showing concrete results in a remote setting matters more than titles.
Do you need a degree for remote senior software developer jobs?
Not always. Remote engineering teams at software companies and startups routinely hire senior software developers based on demonstrated skills, a strong portfolio, and a history of shipping production code rather than a specific degree. That said, some larger enterprises and regulated sectors still list a bachelor's in computer science or a related field as a requirement, so expectations vary by employer.
Which industries hire the most remote senior software developers?
The sectors hiring the most remote senior software developers are Insurance, Technology & Software, and Banking & Financial Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors rely on distributed engineering teams where senior software developers can contribute across codebases and time zones without needing to be on-site.
