Responsibilities
- Define and evolve multi-tenant control-plane and data-plane architecture using Open vSwitch, OVN, OpenFlow, and overlay networks.
- Provide technical leadership through architecture, design and code reviews, mentoring, implementation guidance, and production-readiness decisions.
- Develop production software for Kubernetes networking, network plugins, distributed control planes, Linux host networking, virtual-machine networking, and network automation.
- Translate infrastructure requirements into secure orchestration services, APIs, component boundaries, state models, compatibility strategies, and delivery plans.
- Drive Open vSwitch and OVN integration across configuration, lifecycle management, upgrades, interoperability, performance, failure recovery, and large-scale production operation.
- Build automated unit, integration, system, performance, scale, and upgrade tests for continuous integration, deployment, and release qualification.
- Participate in on-call rotations, lead networking escalations, investigate incidents, and prevent recurrence using packet captures, telemetry, profiling, experiments, and source debugging.
- Define and improve reliability, performance, security, and resource-efficiency objectives with monitoring, telemetry, tracing, and service-level visibility.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 12+ years of experience designing, implementing, testing, and maintaining production software in both C and Go.
- Experience using Bash and Python for testing, diagnostics, builds, or operational automation.
- Hands-on experience developing, integrating, and troubleshooting Open vSwitch and OVN, including OpenFlow and control-plane-to-data-plane behavior.
- Production Kubernetes networking experience covering container network interfaces, network policy, node and pod traffic paths, network plugins, upgrades, and failure modes.
- Strong Linux networking fundamentals, including IP, TCP, UDP, routing, switching, overlay networks, tunneling, network namespaces, and network policy.
- Experience architecting distributed systems with secure service APIs, state management, consistency, scalability, compatibility, and failure handling.
- Experience with automated testing, CI/CD, deployments, upgrades, observability, and performance analysis throughout the production lifecycle.
- Experience supporting production services through on-call rotations and coordinating evidence-based incident response.
- Demonstrated technical leadership through written designs, consequential decisions, cross-team collaboration, critical reviews, mentoring, and delivery of significant systems.
- Preferred experience contributing to Open vSwitch, OVN, OVN-Kubernetes, Kubernetes networking, or related open-source projects.
- Preferred experience with large-scale cloud and accelerated virtualization systems, including SR-IOV, RDMA, SmartNICs, data processing units, network function virtualization, KVM/QEMU, or container runtimes.
- Preferred experience building secure, high-performance gRPC or REST services with transport security and strong authentication.
- Preferred experience using agentic AI and AI-assisted software-development tooling, including coding agents, reusable skills, or Model Context Protocol integrations.
Benefits
- Competitive salary, equity, and a generous benefits package.
- Applications are accepted at least until September 17, 2026.
