Software Engineer - Optical Networks

Location: Portugal; Hybrid

In an increasingly connected world, telecom networks are the backbone of global connectivity—and in the AI-driven data center era, optical networks are more critical than ever.

By joining the Optical Networks division, you’ll be part of an industry-leading team (recently boosted by the acquisition of Infinera) pushing the boundaries of fast, high-capacity network technology worldwide.

We operate in a high-trust, international, and collaborative environment where clean code, continuous learning, and engineering excellence are our North Star. We don't expect you to know everything on day one—we are looking for passionate problem-solvers who are excited to grow their careers alongside top industry experts.

  • Real-World Impact: You’ll contribute to real production code powering global connectivity from day one.

  • Mentorship & Autonomy: Work alongside senior architects in a culture that supports your learning curve, while giving you the space to take ownership of your ideas.

  • AI-Enhanced Workflow: Learn to use modern AI coding assistants and LLM utilities integrated directly into our Development Life Cycle (DLC) to automate boilerplate tasks, generate tests, and focus on high-level logic.
