Senior Software Engineer (Network/Embedded)

Genesis Codes lists a role for a Silicon Valley startup seeking engineers to design and implement a fast data transport product for ML/AI infrastructure systems. The work focuses on reliable, high-performance file transfer between Linux machines over UDP, including congestion control and support for streaming applications.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement a new fast data transport product that will impact ML/AI infrastructure systems
• Design and implement an efficient program in C/C++ that reliably and efficiently transfers files between two machines that are on the same or two different networks, both running Linux
• The program should be easy to modify to support streaming applications

Requirements:

• Strong programming proficiency in C/C++ with experience developing high-performance, production-quality software
• Solid understanding of computer networking, including TCP/IP, UDP, Ethernet, routing, switching, and socket programming
• Experience designing and implementing network protocols, congestion control, flow control, and error recovery mechanisms
• Strong knowledge of multithreaded programming, concurrent software design, synchronization, and thread-safe programming
• Experience with parallel processing and performance optimization on multicore CPU architectures
• Proficiency in Linux software development, debugging, testing, and performance profiling
• Familiarity with data structures, algorithms, and memory management for systems-level software
• Experience using version control systems (Git) and modern software development practices
• Experience with high-speed networking (10/25/100/400GbE) technologies
• Knowledge of Forward Error Correction (FEC), data compression, packet processing, or distributed systems
• Familiarity with cloud computing, virtualization, Microservices, or container technologies (Docker/Kubernetes)
• Experience with network performance analysis tools such as Wireshark, tcpdump, perf, or gdb
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional engineering environment
