• Collaborate closely with architecture and QA teams to define and deliver robust software components
• Debug and resolve complex issues across multiple layers (application, transport, and network)
• Analyze crash files and debug with the team to resolve them
• Configure and troubleshoot virtual networking in virtual machine (VM) environments — bridges, TAP/TUN interfaces, VLANs, and virtual switches (like OVS)
• Deploy and test networking software inside VMs or virtualized test environments (e.g., KVM, VMware, VirtualBox, or cloud VMs)
• Collaborate with DevOps and QA teams to ensure seamless deployment, configuration, and testing workflows
• Participate in design and code reviews, enforcing best practices for maintainable, high-quality code
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical design discussions and documentation

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electronics, or related discipline
• 7–10 years of hands-on software development experience in C/C++ and Python
• Strong understanding of networking concepts and protocols — IPv4/IPv6, ARP, VLAN, TCP/IP stack, routing, switching, or network virtualization
• Experience with Linux based systems — system programming, socket programming, and multithreading
• Hands-on experience with packet capture/analysis tools (Wireshark, tcpdump, etc.)
• Exposure to DPDK/VPP, SDN/NFV, or network appliances is a strong plus
• Experience integrating software with network management systems (NMS), SNMP, or REST APIs
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills in distributed systems
• Good understanding of software design patterns and performance optimization techniques
• Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail
• Good communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative environment
• Proven track record of delivering production-quality software in fast-paced teams
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes preferred
