Description

We are seeking a Core Network Engineerwho combines hands-on experience operating telecom core network elements with the ability to integrate source and expose network data and capabilities via APIs.

You will be instrumental in supporting our platform which enables telecom operators to provide network APIs(e.g. number verification quality-on-demand device status) to external developers and aggregators.

This role requires a solid understanding of 4G and 5G Core Network architecture subscriber management systems and policy/control plane nodes along with familiarity in interfacing these systems through standard protocols and data exposure frameworks.

Core Network Expertise & Data Sourcing

Act as the technical SME for the following network elements:

Subscriber & Identity Systems:HSS HLR UDM AUSF EIR
Policy Control & Routing:PCF PCRF DRA
Packet Core:PGW GGSN UPF
Security & NAT:CGNAT

Understand how these nodes store and process subscriber session data identity and policies.
Work with operator teams to define which data and services can be securely exposed via APIs.

API Integration & Enablement

Design integration workflows to source information from network elements via:

Diameter / HTTP/2 / RESTful interfaces
3GPP standardized APIs
Custom vendor APIs or connectors

Support implementation of API exposure layers (e.g. CAMARA APIs) and facilitate compliance with GSMA Open Gateway standards.

Data Mapping & Specification

Map internal data structures to external API schemas (e.g. user location device status QoS parameters).
Define technical specifications for API contracts and ensure data integrity and privacy.

Testing & Validation

Validate integration workflows end-to-end including:

Querying test data from core network elements
Verifying correct API responses
Handling error scenarios

Collaborate with development and QA teams to build robust test coverage.

Documentation & Knowledge Transfer

Document procedures for sourcing and exposing network data.
Train internal and external stakeholders on:

How APIs interact with core network systems

How to troubleshoot connectivity and data flow issues.

Requirements

Bachelors degree in Telecommunications Computer Engineering or equivalent.
5 years of experience working with telecom core network elements.
Hands-on experience integrating with vendor systems (Ericsson Nokia Huawei Cisco) preferred.
Experience in projects involving API enablementor network function exposureis highly desirable.
Core Network Expertise:

In-depth understanding of:

HSS HLR UDM AUSF EIRfor identity and authentication
PCRF PCF DRAfor policy control
PGW GGSN UPFfor data plane functions
CGNATand session management

Familiarity with 4G EPC and 5G Core (SBA)architecture

Integration & APIs:

Knowledge of:

3GPP standards for Service Exposure Functions (SEF)
RESTful API principles
Diameter and HTTP/2 interfaces
OAuth2 and API security models

Exposure to CAMARA / GSMA Open Gatewayconcepts is a strong plus.

Tools & Scripting:

Ability to create prototypes and test queries (Postman Swagger custom scripts)
Comfortable with basic scripting in Python or Bash

Soft Skills:

Strong cross-functional communication (network teams developers product)
Analytical mindset and structured problem-solving
