Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate scalable, reliable, and high-performance infrastructure services for virtualized networking, computing, and storage.
- Develop and optimize network data-plane components, packet-forwarding paths, and kernel/userspace networking subsystems.
- Optimize line-rate forwarding pipelines and solve complex distributed-systems problems at global cloud scale.
- Analyze and debug complex live production incidents using metrics, traces, and system logs.
- Lead projects to completion while collaborating across teams and taking ownership of outcomes.
Requirements
- Strong proficiency in systems programming languages such as C++, Go, or C; experience with Java or modern scripting languages such as Python is valued.
- Strong knowledge of data structures, algorithms, memory management, and concurrency.
- Deep understanding of L2-L4 networking, TCP/IP behavior, packet framing and encapsulation, routing, MTU/MSS, flow tables, and QoS or traffic shaping.
- Experience with Git and modern build and configuration-management tools.
- Experience designing and optimizing scalable network data-plane components, packet-forwarding paths, or kernel/userspace networking subsystems.
- Understanding of microservice architectures, asynchronous communication, and API design using REST, gRPC, or Protobuf.
- 8+ years of experience with kernel-bypass or accelerated packet-processing technologies such as DPDK, XDP, eBPF, VPP, OVS, or P4.
- BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
- Familiarity with hardware offload architectures such as SmartNICs and ASICs, network virtualization, and large-scale distributed cloud infrastructure services.
