The Engineering Organization
Senior Engineer HSS/UDM
Owns subscriber data and authentication — subscription profiles, security keys, and device onboarding at scale. When three million devices need to attach, this is the system and the expert that decide whether they can.
Senior Engineer SGW/UPF
Owns bearer and session management — user-plane traffic between RAN and core, session continuity, and the traffic engineering that keeps data flowing through failover and surge.
Senior Engineer PGW/SMF
Owns the network's front door to the world — APN design, IP addressing, policy enforcement, and every external data connection, engineered and audited.
Senior Engineer MME/AMF
Owns mobility and signaling — attach behavior, paging, tracking areas, and signaling storms. When triage lands on the core, this is the expert on your support bridge restoring service.
Senior Engineer PCRF/PCF
Owns policy and charging control — QoS profiles and per-use-case prioritization, so a SCADA command outranks a meter read when the network is stressed.
Core Engineering Lead
Coordinates the core engineering team and the 24×7 operating rhythm — change management, vendor engagement, patches, upgrades, and escalation. Runs the discipline that keeps events rare and short.
