Work In Tech

It all started on a bus. An election campaign bus.

Through his experience providing mobile connectivity for election campaigns, Dejero founder Bogdan Frusina witnessed first-hand the challenges that journalists faced reporting live from the field. He knew there was a better way.

Building a team with a passion for innovation and a drive to persevere, he set about developing and commercializing a portable and wireless live video broadcast solution. In November 2009, that vision came to life. Dejero enabled the world’s first live transmission of the torch relay across Canada for the Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Since then, we’ve evolved into a world-leading wireless telecommunications aggregator, providing resilient, uninterrupted internet connectivity vital for critical communications. Broadcasters, production companies, first responders, defense departments, and government agencies put their trust in Dejero.

Here’s how you help us continue our story...

The Technical Challenge:

Our core mission is to build resilient, uninterrupted internet connectivity by blending multiple IP connections. As a Senior Software Developer, you will directly architect and develop the C++ software at the heart of our Emmy Award-winning Smart Blending Technology. This role is focused on low-level Linux networking, performance optimization, and creating robust, deployable services for both on-premise devices and cloud environments.

Core Responsibilities:

• Architect and Develop Core Technology: Design and build features for our patented connection blending platform using Modern C++ and Boost.Asio.
• Linux Systems Development: Implement and manage the services required to package, deploy, and configure the software in a Debian-based Linux environment.
• Low-Level Networking: Work directly with the Linux networking stack, including packet filtering, routing, and traffic control, to achieve optimal performance and reliability.
• Problem Solving & Analysis: Use tools like tcpdump and Wireshark to perform deep-dive analysis and debugging of complex network behavior.
  Maintain High-Quality Code: Own the development process through detailed code reviews, comprehensive unit testing, and test automation.
