About the Team Our engineering team builds next-generation, cloud-native bare-metal orchestration platforms for AI neo-cloud environments. We operate on a T-shaped engineering model: while each engineer brings deep expertise in a primary domain, every team member maintains practical fluency across neighboring systems. This shared foundation enables rigorous design reviews, effective cross-domain code reviews, and dependable on-call coverage. Our development is fundamentally based on open-source projects, and contributing to them is a major part of our work. We develop primary control plane software in Rust and Go, leverage Kubernetes operators, and foster an OpenTelemetry-first operational culture. Role Overview We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer who combines strong software architecture principles with deep technical domain expertise in Datacenter Networking and DPU architectures.

Fitting into our T-shaped engineering model, you will drive the development of control planes powering high-density, high-throughput infrastructure for AI training and inference workloads. Familiarity with automated bare-metal provisioning and lifecycle management is a strong asset. Core Responsibilities - Control Plane Development: Design, build, and maintain production-grade control plane microservices, custom Kubernetes operators, and robust reconciliation engines in Rust and Go. - Architecture & API Design: Author clear Functional (FR) and Non-Functional Requirements (NFR), architectural specs, system sequence diagrams, and clean gRPC/Protobuf and REST API schemas. - Network Integration: Develop custom integration modules and integrations for modern network operating systems (SONiC, NVUE, Cumulus) and DPU hardware platforms. - Observability & Diagnostics: Instrument services end-to-end using OpenTelemetry (OTel) traces and metrics, performing systematic root-cause analysis across polyglot distributed systems. - Quality & Engineering Excellence: Participate in rigorous, review-gated pull request workflows across Rust, Go, and SQL codebases while ensuring high test coverage via mock-driven testing. - Language Proficiency: Primary mastery of Rust (Tokio async runtime, Tonic, Axum, sqlx) and strong proficiency in Go. - Data & APIs: Advanced SQL / PostgreSQL fluency, gRPC/Protobuf contract design, and schema evolution. - Concurrency & Reliability: Strong background in async concurrency models, lock-free patterns, distributed state handling, and mock-driven testing discipline. - Datacenter Protocols & OS: Expertise in BGP, MP-BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, L3VNI, route targets, and route server design. Hands-on experience with SONiC, Cumulus Linux, and NVUE (featuring a first-class NVUE client). - DPU & Fabric Ecosystem: Deep knowledge of NVIDIA DOCA, Host-Based Networking (HBN), BlueField DPU architectures, and the DPF (DOCA Platform Framework) operator model (BFB, DPUSet, DPUNode CRDs).
