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 Software Engineering Manager Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote software engineering manager openings from across the country in one place. Check it regularly and apply directly to roles that match your seniority, stack, and team size preferences before postings fill.
Show async leadership in your resume
Remote engineering manager roles go to candidates who can prove they've led distributed teams without relying on in-person check-ins. Highlight outcomes you drove through written specs, async reviews in GitHub or Notion, and structured one-on-ones run through video and Slack.
Build a remote leadership portfolio
Collect artifacts that prove remote management competency: an engineering roadmap you wrote, a postmortem you ran asynchronously, or an onboarding doc you authored for a distributed team. Concrete documents travel better than verbal claims in a remote hiring process.
Prepare for remote-format interviews specifically
Remote engineering manager interviews often include written take-homes, async video responses, and panel calls across time zones. Practice articulating how you set engineering direction in writing, how you run retros remotely, and how you manage underperformance without proximity.
Remote Software Engineering Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote software engineering manager job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed-team environments where async leadership is the norm, not an exception. Remote employers screen for strong written communication, the ability to set direction without in-person context, and a history of shipping with distributed teams. Candidates who can demonstrate remote delivery experience, clear documentation habits, and outcome-focused management stand out from those who rely on physical proximity to lead.
Which companies hire remote software engineering managers?
Remote software engineering manager roles are posted by CVS Health, CoStar, and The Home Depot and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Remote-first SaaS companies, distributed fintech platforms, and enterprise software firms with global engineering teams are the most consistent sources of these openings.
Can you get a remote software engineering manager job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level engineering manager roles are harder to land because you're expected to direct a team and resolve blockers without in-person support from day one. Early paths include moving into a tech lead role at a remote company first, or managing a small remote contract team on a project. Showing async documentation skills and a record of cross-functional delivery without hand-holding opens the door.
Do you need a degree for remote software engineering manager jobs?
Not always. Remote employers for this role weigh demonstrated engineering leadership, delivery history, and the ability to manage distributed teams far more heavily than formal credentials. A portfolio of shipped products, measurable team outcomes, and evidence of strong written communication often carry more weight than a degree, particularly at remote-first companies that evaluate candidates through work samples and async interviews.
Which industries hire the most remote software engineering managers?
Remote software engineering manager roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Insurance, and Manufacturing, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors rely on distributed engineering teams operating across time zones, making remote management a structural necessity rather than a perk.
