Job summary

Quvia is seeking a Grid Data Path Engineer in the Miami area to design and develop high-performance networking software in C/C++ and Python. You will work on L2-L7 protocols, integrate with Python modules, and optimize for scalability in VM environments.

The role requires hands-on experience with virtualized networks, Linux, and modern CI/CD practices. Strong collaboration with DevOps and QA teams is essential in a fast-paced startup setting.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electronics, or related discipline.
• 7–10 years of hands-on software development experience in C/C++ and Python.
• Strong understanding of networking concepts — IPv4/IPv6, ARP, VLAN, TCP/IP stack, routing, switching, or network virtualization.
• Experience with Linux-based systems — system programming, socket programming, and multithreading.
• Hands-on experience with packet capture/analysis tools (Wireshark, tcpdump, etc.).
• Exposure to DPDK/VPP, SDN/NFV, or network appliances is a strong plus.
• Experience integrating software with network management systems (NMS), SNMP, or REST APIs.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes preferred.
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills in distributed systems.
• Good understanding of software design patterns and performance optimization techniques.
• Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail.
• Good communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative environment.
• Proven track record of delivering production-quality software in fast-paced teams.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop software modules using C/C++ for high-performance network applications.
• Part of the software also involves integrating with Python-based modules.
• Work on L2-L7 networking protocols such as Ethernet, IP, TCP/UDP, BGP, OSPF, MPLS, and others.
• Collaborate with architecture and QA teams to define and deliver robust software components.
• Debug and resolve complex issues across multiple layers (application, transport, and network).
• Analyze crash files and debug with the team to resolve them.
• Configure and troubleshoot virtual networking in VM environments — bridges, TAP/TUN interfaces, VLANs, and virtual switches (like OVS).
• Deploy and test networking software inside VMs or virtualized test environments (e.g., KVM, VMware, VirtualBox, or cloud VMs).
• Collaborate with DevOps and QA teams to ensure seamless deployment, configuration, and testing workflows.
• Participate in design and code reviews, enforcing best practices for maintainable, high-quality code.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical design discussions and documentation.
