Job description

Senior Systems Engineer – Low-Level Networking (Rust / DPDK) IRC305609

• Experience in low-level network programming.
• Systems Programming: Mastery of Rust (specifically DPDK rte_flow) and Go for high-performance networking software.
• Network and Virtualization Stack: Deep background in Linux network stack internals, socket layers, and packet processing; understanding of VMs, specifically disks/storage and networking.

Requirements

• Setting up a local development environment where the entire stack runs, e.g., running on a single VM owned by the dev himself/herself.
• Need someone who would be ready to debug issues, port the existing software stack to ARM, and often bring identified/issues to other teams proactively.
• This is more than just the networking stack; this could be software related to VM disks, VMs themselves. Strong domain knowledge in other areas is not needed, but someone with good general knowledge would be a good fit.

Job responsibilities

• Network feature development, e.g. doing offloading the network stack into NICs.
• Using DPDK rte_flow, so experience (specifically rte_flow). DPDK rte_flow experience is not necessarily a must-have, but it’s definitely a
• nice-to-have. Other feature development could be things like adding DHCPv6 support into a networking daemon, etc.
  Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer or Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
