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.
- Over and above, a commitment to your own quality work and a strong desire to help the entire team to succeed.

Tips for Your Remote Senior Software Development Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote senior software development engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search the current listings, find roles that match your stack and seniority level, and apply directly before postings close.
Show async communication in your materials
Remote engineering teams run on written communication. Include links to design docs, architectural decision records, or detailed pull request descriptions you've authored. These demonstrate you can lead technical decisions without relying on in-person meetings.
Highlight distributed systems experience prominently
Remote teams almost always operate across time zones and rely on resilient, decoupled architectures. Lead with your experience in microservices, event-driven systems, or cloud-native infrastructure so hiring managers can immediately see you've worked in the context they're hiring for.
Prepare for asynchronous technical screenings
Many remote-first companies replace live coding interviews with take-home system design problems or recorded walkthroughs. Practice explaining your architectural reasoning in writing and in short recorded video format so you perform well in async evaluation formats.
Remote Senior Software Development Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote senior software development engineer job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed engineering teams that have built processes around async collaboration, since those employers are most equipped to onboard senior engineers remotely. Remote hiring managers screen heavily for self-direction, clear written communication, and the ability to make architectural decisions without constant in-person oversight. A strong portfolio of shipped systems, open-source contributions, or detailed design documents gives you a concrete edge over candidates who can only point to a resume.
Which companies hire remote senior software development engineers?
Companies hiring remote senior software development engineers right now include CVS Health, Shutterfly, and ServiceNow, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Remote-first software firms, distributed product teams in fintech and healthtech, and cloud-native companies make up the largest share of active remote openings for this role.
Can you get a remote senior software development engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles at the senior level are rare, since remote teams expect engineers to work independently from day one with minimal hand-holding. Your clearest path is building a portfolio of real, deployed projects, contributing to active open-source codebases, and targeting smaller remote-first startups that value demonstrated output over years of formal employment history.
Do you need a degree for remote senior software development engineer jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers at this level care more about what you've built and the complexity of systems you've owned than the credential on your wall. A strong GitHub portfolio, demonstrable experience with distributed systems or cloud architecture, and a history of delivering production software can outweigh a missing or unrelated degree at most remote-first companies.
Which industries hire the most remote senior software development engineers?
Most remote senior software development engineer openings sit in Insurance, Technology & Software, and Banking & Financial Services, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors rely on distributed engineering teams and have standardized around remote-friendly development workflows, making them consistent sources of senior remote roles.
