Key responsibilities

• Design and maintain production-grade control plane microservices and custom Kubernetes operators using Rust and Go.
• Author architectural specifications, system sequence diagrams, and clean API schemas for complex infrastructure components.
• Develop integration modules for modern network operating systems and DPU hardware platforms.
• Instrument services with OpenTelemetry to ensure robust observability and perform systematic root-cause analysis.
• Participate in rigorous code reviews and maintain high test coverage through mock-driven testing practices.

Requirements

• Mastery of Rust (Tokio, Tonic, Axum) and strong proficiency in Go.
• Deep expertise in datacenter networking protocols including BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, and L3VNI.
• Hands-on experience with DPU architectures, NVIDIA DOCA, and Host-Based Networking.
• Strong background in Linux systems internals, boot infrastructure (PXE/iPXE), and hardware management via Redfish/IPMI.
• Experience with Kubernetes control planes and custom controller development.

What we offer

• Opportunity to work with an established leader in the cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes-native AI space.
• Collaboration with talented, passionate colleagues on cutting-edge open-source projects.
• Access to professional development, training programs, and industry conferences.
• A high-energy, collaborative environment that values innovation and continuous growth.
