Job Description

Required Technical Skills:
Strong background in HPC or large-scale distributed systems development.
Proven experience with Linux kernel and driver development in C, including production support.
Deep familiarity with bare-metal and virtualized environments, including performance tradeoffs.
Expertise in InfiniBand and Ethernet networking, leveraging RDMA and RoCE for low-latency, high-throughput communication.
Solid understanding of TCP/IP and UDP networking, along with Linux networking, tuning, and diagnostic tools”.
Packet-level analysis and Linux kernel debugging using tools such as tcpdump, kgdb, and crash.
Experience designing and optimizing high-throughput, low-latency data transport protocols.
Strong knowledge of the Linux kernel, including DKMS, driver lifecycle management, and compatibility across kernel versions.
Proficiency in C, Bash, and Python for systems programming, automation, and diagnostics.
Experience with massively parallel processing (MPP) using message-passing interfaces.
Effective use of modern AI-assisted development tools to accelerate design, coding, and debugging.

Nice to Have:
Experience with DPUs, SmartNICs, or hardware offload technologies.
Hands-on work with kernel-bypass networking (e.g., RDMA verbs, DPDK, XDP, eBPF).
Experience with high-speed Ethernet (100G/200G/400G/800G) and modern interconnect fabrics.
Experience tuning systems for NUMA, CPU affinity, cache locality, and memory bandwidth.
Exposure to distributed storage or database platforms in production environments.
Experience working with hardware vendors (NICs, switches, accelerators) on performance or integration issues.
Contributions to open-source networking, kernel, or systems software projects.

Education & Experience
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (distributed systems focus preferred), Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
7+ years of experience in high-performance Linux systems or networking software development, with demonstrated technical leadership
