About the Role
SonicWall is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to develop and maintain the Content Filtering Service client embedded in SonicOS — the firmware running on SonicWall firewall appliances worldwide. This module intercepts live traffic, queries the CFS rating servers in real time, and enforces URL-based content filtering policies at the packet level. This is security-critical code: a policy bug is a traffic bypass on a deployed security appliance.
The codebase is in C with a split Control Plane / Data Plane architecture, multi-blade cache synchronization, and multiple firmware version upgrade paths.
