Software Engineer (Control Plane, C)

Evollabs; Dubai; Presencial; AED 240.000 - 420.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Evollabs in Dubai is building a next-generation Network Operating System (NOS) powering data center switches and routers globally. You will join the Control Plane Engineering team to design the brains of our networking stack, from dynamic routing to system orchestration.

This greenfield NOS/NMS suite requires deep expertise in Ethernet/IP protocols, BGP/OSPF, and Linux kernel networking. You’ll work closely with data plane engineers and QA to deliver scalable, high-performance software.

Formación

• Degree or equivalent experience in CS/EE or related field.
• Solid understanding of Ethernet/IP protocols and at least one dynamic routing protocol.
• Ability to interpret IETF RFCs/IEEE standards for compliant implementation.
• Experience debugging large-scale, multithreaded software (>3GB codebase).

Responsabilidades

• Design and develop the Control Plane of our NOS with routing protocols.
• Debug and optimize performance in multithreaded systems.
• Collaborate with data plane engineers to align routing with hardware forwarding.
• Support QA in automated tests for protocol correctness and scalability.

Descripción del empleo

Join our mission to build a next-generation Network Operating System (NOS) powering data center switches and routers worldwide. As part of the Control Plane Engineering team, you’ll design and implement the brains of our networking stack — from dynamic routing protocols to system orchestration.

This is a rare chance to contribute to a greenfield NOS/NMS suite, working directly with ASIC-driven data planes while building scalable, reliable control plane software.

What You’ll Do

Design and develop the Control Plane of our NOS, implementing and extending protocols such as BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, LDP, BFD, STP, and SNMP.

Debug and optimize performance in complex multithreaded systems.

Collaborate closely with data plane engineers to ensure seamless integration of routing decisions into hardware forwarding.

Support QA in developing automated tests for protocol correctness and scalability.

Participate in code reviews, bringing best practices into a high-performance codebase.

Stay current with emerging standards and incorporate them into production software.

What We’re Looking For

Degree (or equivalent experience) in CS, EE, or related field.

Solid understanding of Ethernet/IP protocols and at least one dynamic routing protocol (BGP, OSPF).

Ability to interpret IETF RFCs/IEEE standards and implement compliant behavior in code.

Experience debugging multithreaded and large-scale software (>3GB codebases).

Knowledge of Linux kernel networking internals.

Ways to Stand Out

Experience with open routing suites (FRR, Quagga).

Familiarity with Netlink, switchdev, and Linux device drivers.

Deep knowledge of MPLS (LDP, RSVP-TE).

Experience writing Linux daemons and multithreaded services.

Exposure to embedded systems and hardware integration.

Strong Git flow/code review discipline (GitLab preferred).
