# AI Native Software Engineer - Secure File Gateway at OPSWAT

- **Company:** OPSWAT
- **Location:** Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
- **Posted:** 2026-10-30
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-11-01
- **Apply:** https://www.opswat.com/jobs/4738784005?gh_jid=4738784005

## Job description

OPSWAT, a global leader in IT, OT, and ICS critical infrastructure cybersecurity, delivers an end-to-end platform that gives public and private sector organizations and enterprises the critical advantage needed to protect their complex networks, secure their devices, and ensure compliance. Over the last 20 years our commitment to innovative technology has earned the trust of more than 1,700 organizations, governments, and institutions globally, solidifying our role in protecting the world’s critical infrastructure and securing our way of life.

## About the Product

Secure File Gateway is a gateway that sits between a WAF and the web app backend. It ensures every uploaded file is scanned and sanitized by MetaDefender Core (via ICAP) before reaching the application; no WAF config changes needed. This solves the gap left by WAFs that don't support ICAP, or can't handle CDR-sanitized data.

## What You Will Be Doing

- Design, build, and test SFG in C++ or Rust (Windows/Linux) as the transparent proxy between WAF and backend.
- Implement the core flow: intercept uploads → forward to MetaDefender Core over ICAP → return sanitized files, with low latency and high reliability.
- Build multi-threaded, high-concurrency networking components.
- Build and use agentic workflows (e.g., Claude Code, autonomous coding agents) daily for coding, testing, and debugging.
- Work within a Scrum team; collaborate with Product Management; do peer code reviews.

## What We Need From You

- Strong OOP background (Java/C#), willing to learn/work in C++ or Rust.
- Solid multi-threading and network programming skills.
- Comfort with protocol/network-level concepts (TCP/IP, HTTP, proxying).
- Genuine interest in using AI tools in your dev workflow.
- Experience building or using multi-agents
- Good coding/debugging skills, strong communication, self-motivated.

What Would Be Nice If You Had

- ICAP protocol, reverse proxy / gateway experience.
- REST API design.
- Agile/Scrum, Git/Bitbucket/Jira/Confluence/TeamCity.
- DBMS (SQLite, PostgreSQL, etc.).
- Windows/Linux dev experience.
