What you need
- Strong experience designing and operating data center or HPC networks, ideally supporting distributed AI or other tightly-coupled workloads.
- Deep, hands-on familiarity with the networking stack across layers — L2/L3 forwarding, ECMP, BGP, RoCE, QoS, PFC, buffer tuning, and telemetry.
- Demonstrated willingness and ability to optimize a system by working through multiple layers: userspace services, the Linux kernel and network drivers, and firmware/SDK layers underneath.
- Solid software engineering fundamentals: clear interfaces, thoughtful data models, state-machine design, error handling, testing, observability, and maintainable code in C/C++, Python, Go, and/or Rust.
- Strong hands-on skills in network configuration, debugging, and performance tuning, and a track record of chasing hard problems across software, hardware, and vendor boundaries.
- Ability to independently drive ambiguous, open-ended networking work from problem definition through implementation, validation, rollout, and support.
Nice to have
- Experience with SONiC or comparable network operating system stacks (FBOSS, Cumulus Linux, or equivalent platform software), and with SAI implementations.
- Experience integrating or debugging switch ASIC SDKs from Broadcom, Marvell, NVIDIA, Intel, or comparable vendors.
- Familiarity with InfiniBand and high-performance Ethernet fabric design.
- Platform and board-level bring-up experience touching thermal and fan control, power monitoring, transceivers, watchdogs, CPLDs, OSFP/CMIS, or LEDs.
- Experience with OpenConfig gNMI, YANG data models, or other structured telemetry.
What you get
- Comprehensive benefits
- Competitive compensation
- Flexible spending options
- Recognition programs
Worth weighing
- Role is based on-site in Sunnyvale, CA, which may not suit remote work preferences.
- The posting mentions a fast-paced startup environment, which can imply a high-pressure work culture.
- No salary information is provided, which may be a consideration for candidates.
