Job description

Our Client, a global tech firm, is seeking a Multicasting Engineer L3 / L4 to join their team in Rosebank (onsite) on a contract basis. They offer stability, growth, attractive rates, and a great working environment.

Multicast is a method of group communication where the sender sends data to multiple receivers or nodes present in the network simultaneously. Multicasting is a type of one-to-many and many-to-many communication as it allows senders to send data packets to multiple receivers at once across LANs or WANs.

Responsibilities:

• Development of new features, bug fixing, and addressing customer queries within the multicast control plane space.
• Experience in service provider demands while collaborating with other software teams to ensure high-quality software delivery.
• Develop new features and fix bugs, including customer-specific and engineering-driven initiatives.
• Focus on multicast protocols to meet growing demands from customers.
• Conduct peer code/design reviews and collaborate with adjacent software teams on programming interfaces.
• Develop automated tests to ensure high-quality handoff to the Test team and deliver detailed software specifications.
• Handle customer queries and participate in triages for issue resolution.

Benefits of using multicasting:

• Lower bandwidth requirements: Multicasting reduces the amount of bandwidth consumed by broadcasting video, voice, or data over the network. It only sends one stream of data, rather than multiple streams.
• Smooth migration path: Multicasting is compatible with existing single-stream broadcasting technology and doesn't require separate equipment purchases for new users.
• Uniform quality of service: Multicasting maintains data quality even when delivered to multiple destination nodes simultaneously.
• More efficient use of network bandwidth: Multicasting's bandwidth usage remains fixed regardless of the number of receivers.
• Improved scalability: Allows a single source to transmit data to multiple destinations, enhancing performance and scalability.
• Increased fault tolerance: A single source node for multiple streams simplifies fault tolerance; if one stream fails, others continue to operate.
• More applications: Facilitates communication among multiple network users or devices, enabling concurrent applications without requiring IP address knowledge.
