Software Engineer – Host and Network IO

Jobtailor; Sunnyvale (CA); On-site; USD 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Jobtailor is seeking an experienced software engineer to develop x86 and ARM software exposing next-generation hardware IO capabilities for AI/HPC teams.

You will govern a generic IO API used by multiple internal users, and build control/config subsystems interfacing directly with Cerebras hardware. You will drive network performance debugging across large AI clusters and analyze traces to remove bottlenecks, while enhancing visibility through telemetry tools.

Qualifications

• Master's/PhD in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering plus 1 year industry experience, OR 3+ years industry experience.
• Experience in large software environments.
• Experience with embedded systems, HW/SW co-design, and some driver development.
• Familiarity with TCP and RoCE network protocols.
• Familiarity with network debug tools such as Wireshark, or willingness to learn.
• Familiarity with network switch environments such as Arista and Juniper, or willingness to learn.
• Detail-oriented and willing to learn the bigger picture and embrace the unknown.

Responsibilities

• Develop x86 and ARM software to expose next-generation hardware IO capabilities for AI/HPC application teams
• Govern a generic IO API with multiple internal users
