Overview:

GGateway is seeking a Senior Network Software Engineer (WinSock / PTP) with strong expertise in low-level Windows networking, including Winsock and NDIS-level development, and Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

The role focuses on designing and building high-performance networking software using the WinSock API on the Windows platform, with strong emphasis on packet-level control, hardware interaction, and time-synchronized communication systems. The ideal candidate will work on performance-critical networking components, including low-latency UDP systems, hardware timestamping, and network timing accuracy.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, develop, and optimize low-level Windows networking systems using socket programming
Build high-performance networking software using Winsock (socket-based development on Windows)
Develop production-grade low-level socket programming applications using the WinSock API on the Windows platform
Develop and maintain high-throughput UDP/TCP socket-based communication systems
Work with NDIS-level networking concepts, including packet flow behavior, offloading, and performance characteristics
Implement and support Precision Time Protocol (PTP)-based synchronization solutions
Handle low-level socket programming for packet transmission, reception, and control messaging
Debug and optimize network traffic at the socket and packet level (latency, jitter, throughput, packet loss)
Perform performance tuning for high-load, multi-threaded socket-based systems
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate socket-based networking modules into larger systems
Write clean, efficient, production-grade C/C++ socket-based networking code with proper testing and documentation

Required Qualifications

Strong hands-on experience in Windows low-level networking (Winsock required)
Solid understanding of NDIS and Windows networking architecture
Strong proficiency in C / C++ systems programming
Experience working with Precision Time Protocol (PTP) synchronization systems and hardware timestamping
Deep knowledge of TCP/IP and UDP networking fundamentals
Experience building high-performance, multi-threaded networking applications
Strong experience in packet-level debugging and network performance optimization
Experience in Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
Experience working in high-performance or low-latency network environments
Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills in complex system environments
