Senior System Software Engineer, Software Defined Networking

We are looking for a Senior System Software Engineer, Software Defined Networking to build highly performant and scalable Software Defined Networking (SDN) solutions and seamlessly integrate these with the rest of the Cloud Infrastructure in order to host Accelerated Compute applications like Hyperscale Multi-node training, Inference, Cloud Gaming, Cloud functions etc.

NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, we are increasingly known as “the AI computing company”. We are looking to grow our company, and grow with the smartest people in the world. We are looking for you.

What you’ll be doing:

• Design, develop, deploy and operate next generation multi-tenant cloud SDN control and data planes software

• DevOps automation tasks for SDN stack – CI/CD, GitOps for secure and seamless integration with cloud infrastructure components.

• To complement the efficient networking architecture, you will help designing Infrastructure-as-a-Service virtual network orchestration API-driven services to support tenants workloads security and performance SLAs for BMaaS, VMaaS and Kubernetes.

• You will also develop software for network observability (monitoring and telemetry) to enable intelligent metering and performance analysis for KPIs enforcement for tenants workloads

What we need to see:

• BA/BS degree in Computer Science, related technical discipline (or equivalent experience), MS preferred

• 10+ years of experience developing software for large scale distributed environments according to industry standard best DevOps practices

• Deep understanding of the modern network stack and protocols

• Hands-on experience developing secure and performant API-driven services (gRPC, ReST with transport encryption and strong authentication)

• Background in private cloud/large distributed systems architecture design.

• Experience with modern data center servers and network equipment (out-of-band management, provisioning, monitoring – IPMI, RedFish, zero-touch provisioning)

• Hands-on experience with SDN – OpenFlow, Open Virtual Switch or equivalent solutions

• Hands-on experience with one or more SDN solutions (control and data planes)

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience with RDMA (InfiniBand or RoCE) protocols and fabrics designs and deployments

• Understanding of container networking (CNI) APIs and implementations

• SRE/DevOps: top-level expertise

• Hands-on background with Tier 1 CSPs (AWS, Azure and others) services and tools

• Hands-on experience with networking hardware acceleration
