Meet the Team
Our Routing SD-WAN Group is at the forefront of innovation, delivering intelligent, secure, and scalable WAN edge solutions that empower enterprises to connect and protect their networks from the edge to the cloud. Within this group, the Routing Platform Software team builds industry-leading headend SD-WAN and edge routing platforms. We are a high-energy group working on next-generation routing and services at a global scale, connecting thousands of devices and millions of users.
Your Impact
We are looking for a software engineer to develop and evolve the forwarding and platform software that powers SD-WAN and edge routing. In this role, you will collaborate with ASIC, hardware, and cross-functional engineering teams to define new architectures, implement high-performance packet forwarding, and deliver robust, production-ready features. You will leverage modern AI tools to enhance software development practices, helping to drive greater efficiency, quality, and innovation across the team.
Responsibilities
- Hardware-Software Integration: Collaborate closely with hardware engineering teams to bring up new platforms, develop low-level drivers, and integrate Network Interface Modules (NIMs).
- Firmware Development: Design, implement, and maintain ROMMON and bootloader software to ensure secure and reliable system initialization.
- Forwarding Plane Optimization: Develop and tune high-performance forwarding plane software to meet the rigorous demands of modern secure routing environments.
- L2 Feature Development: Implement and optimize Layer 2 networking protocols and features within the platform stack.
- Performance Debugging: Perform deep-dive analysis into performance bottlenecks at the kernel and hardware-abstraction layers, including the control plane.
- Modern Development Practices: Utilize modern development workflows, including AI-assisted coding tools (such as GitHub Copilot, Claude, or Codex) and integrated development environments like VSCode, to accelerate the development lifecycle.
