• Instrument services using OpenTelemetry and perform systematic root-cause analysis across distributed systems.
• Participate in rigorous code reviews and ensure high test coverage through mock-driven testing.

Requirements

• Mastery of Rust and strong proficiency in Go, with experience in async concurrency models and distributed state handling.
• Deep expertise in datacenter networking protocols including BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, and hands-on experience with SONiC or Cumulus Linux.
• Knowledge of DPU architectures, NVIDIA DOCA, and high-performance interconnects like InfiniBand and RoCEv2.
• Experience with Linux systems internals, boot infrastructure, and Kubernetes control plane development.
• 5+ years of software engineering experience in cloud-native platforms or infrastructure automation.

What we offer

• Opportunity to work with an established leader in the cloud infrastructure industry.
• Collaboration with talented colleagues on cutting-edge, open-source innovation.
• Access to professional development, training, and industry conferences.
• A high-energy environment that values openness, collaboration, and continuous growth.
