We are looking for a highly motivated software engineer with extensive experience in routing protocols and control plane software, to be part of our routing protocol development team. We work with and contribute significantly to

Free Range Routing, the preeminent open routing suite in the industry. Free Range Routing (FRR) is the routing protocol stack used by NVIDIA Cumulus Linux, the industry's most innovative open network operating system, built with a flexible open architecture and comprehensive automation capabilities. In addition, FRR is used on other NVIDIA products, and is also the routing protocol stack used on the open source network operating system SONiC. As a member of the routing team, you will be working on features and enhancements to protocols and technologies like BGP, EVPN, OSPF, PIM and Segment Routing as well as on Object Models, APIs and usability. We are a small team that prides itself on innovation and agility. You will be using the latest software development tools and techniques, and will gain unique knowledge of how the switch operating system works and how large scale EthernetAI networks are constructed.

What you’ll be doing:

• Design, develop, test and maintain new functionality and improvements in different routing protocols and related control plane software as well as object models and programmatic interfaces and APIs to the routing control subsystem.

• Collaborate with team members, architects and QA and Support teams on feature definition, development, release, and bug fixing.

What we need to see:

• BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• A minimum of 5 years of software development experience that includes experience with at least one protocol among EVPN, BGP, PIM, OSPF, RIFT, or MPLS/SR.

• Strong and proven experience in C programming. Strong experience in Python programming.

• Knowledge of Yang data modeling and management protocols like SNMP, Netconf or gNMI.

• Strong technical abilities, problem-solving, design, coding, and debugging skills.

• Ability to deliver independently with minimum supervision.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Significant hands-on experience with one of the aforementioned protocols

• Significant experience with Yang, Openconfig models, SNMP and/or Netconf/gNMI.

• Knowledge of Linux kernel networking and hardware forwarding.

• Participation in the open-source community.

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to unprecedented growth, our exclusive engineering teams are rapidly growing. If you're a creative and autonomous engineer with a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you.
