Remote Packet Core information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Packet Core Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Packet Core Engineer, you need a strong background in telecommunications, IP networking, and mobile core technologies, typically supported by a degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field. Familiarity with packet core platforms (such as EPC, 5GC), network protocols, virtualization tools, and relevant certifications like Cisco CCNP or Nokia NRS are commonly required. Analytical thinking, effective communication, and problem-solving skills help professionals excel when managing complex, distributed network environments. These skills are crucial for ensuring reliable mobile data connectivity, resolving technical issues promptly, and supporting the scalability of telecom networks.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in a Remote Packet Core role, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in a Remote Packet Core role often face challenges related to managing and troubleshooting complex network issues without direct physical access to hardware. Effective remote collaboration, strong documentation skills, and the use of advanced monitoring tools are essential to overcome these barriers. Additionally, staying updated on the latest network protocols and virtualization technologies can help address evolving technical requirements. Regular communication with cross-functional teams ensures alignment and swift resolution of critical incidents.

What is a Remote Packet Core?

A Remote Packet Core refers to the virtualized or cloud-based implementation of a mobile network's packet core functions, allowing operators to manage and deliver data services without relying on traditional, on-premises hardware. This architecture enables mobile network providers to centralize network management, increase scalability, and reduce operational costs by leveraging remote data centers or cloud platforms. It's especially important for supporting 4G LTE and 5G networks, as it allows faster deployment and improved flexibility for handling data traffic across multiple locations.

Job description

Overview

Working at Covenant Eyes is about more than just shipping software; it's about fueling a movement and changing culture. When you log in every day, you are directly contributing to saving marriages, protecting children, and fighting sexual exploitation. We are a team united by a desire to provide world-class accountability and restore relationships.

We are a 100% Employee-Owned company. That means our success is your success. We have a consistent track record of national recognition for our growth and business performance. This stability allows us to offer opportunities for career advancement and exposure to emerging technologies without the volatility of a typical startup.

We believe in hard work, but we prioritize people. We know that your most important job isn't the one you do for us-it is your role as a parent, spouse, and community member. We champion a "Family First" culture that respects your time and embraces a healthy work-life rhythm.

We offer a highly competitive compensation package that supports you from the moment you start.

  • Health & Wellness: Comprehensive Medical, Vision, and Dental insurance (Active on Day 1).

  • Financial Future: 401(k) with company matching plus the long-term benefit of being an Employee Owner.

  • Time Away: Generous PTO policy, flexible work hours to accommodate life's needs, and we even pay you to take your Birthday off!

  • Distributed Team Mindset: While we are based in Michigan, we are fully equipped to support remote team members while maintaining a close-knit, collaborative atmosphere.

We do exciting stuff-the kind of stuff that doesn't have a playbook yet. If you're interested in adding R&D and Greenfield builds to your work, let's talk. We need people who are comfortable in the 'weird' phase of development and have the guts to try things that haven't been done before.

Responsibilities
  • Collaborate with Product and Designers to translate high-level requirements into robust iOS architectures. You won't just build tickets; you'll help define the "how" and "why" behind our mobile strategy.
  • Work closely with Backend and QA teams to design resilient APIs and integration points, ensuring our native apps communicate efficiently with our core infrastructure.
  • Uphold and evolve our coding standards. You will champion clean architecture, conduct meaningful code reviews, and ensure the codebase remains maintainable and scalable.
  • Write high-performance, testable code for our core application. You will handle complex challenges ranging from UI responsiveness to low-level network packet handling.
Qualifications

As an experienced iOS Developer, we're not just looking for someone that can make good iOS apps.  We want someone that has a deep understanding of the platform that can do more than just contribute but also help drive innovation to provide world-class accountability for our Members.  We want someone with an eye for architecture and good general development practices.   

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (or closely related field) or equivalent work experience.
  • 5+ years of professional iOS development experience.
  • Strong command of SwiftUI.
  • Experience with deeper layers of the iOS stack (e.g. Network Extensions, VPN configurations, MDM/Config Profiles, Image Processing, among others).
  • Experience designing scalable apps using architectural patterns (things like MVVM-C, VIPER, or TCA).
  • A strong background in Unit Testing and UI Testing.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Fastlane, GitHub Actions, Xcode Cloud).
  • Exceptional written communication.

Would also be great if you had:

  • Deep understanding of Swift (including async/await and Actors), Objective-C, and C++ (highly valued).
  • Experience navigating Apple's Entitlements, Privacy Manifests, and App Review guidelines.
  • Contributions to open-source projects or a portfolio of apps in the App Store.
  • Experience coaching and mentoring junior developers.

This position is offered as a full-time distributed (remote) position, and we are flexible in our work-day, but it is our company expectation that you would be available to your team most of the work day for best collaboration.  Covenant Eyes is located in the Eastern Time Zone as are most of the staff.  Thus, maintaining consistent overlap with a core of 10am to 4pm Eastern time would be expected. 

Employment Type: FULL_TIME
