Position Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer with strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python, and solid experience working on Linux-based systems with exposure to networking concepts.
The ideal candidate will design, develop, and maintain scalable and reliable software systems that operate in virtualized and networked environments. This role focuses on systems-level software development rather than deep kernel systems while still requiring a good understanding of how Linux and networking work under the hood.
Key Duties and Responsibilities:
- Design and develop high-performance, scalable software modules using C/C++, with integration to Python-based components where required.
- Build and maintain software that runs on Linux systems, including user-space system programming and multithreaded applications.
- Work with networking concepts across L2L4/L7 (e.g., Ethernet, IP, TCP/UDP, routing basics), focusing on how applications interact with the network stack.
- Debug and resolve complex issues across application, system, and network layers.
- Analyze crashes, logs, and core dumps, and collaborate with the team to drive issues to resolution.
- Configure, deploy, and test software in virtualized environments (VMs), including network connectivity and integration.
- Set up and troubleshoot virtual networking constructs such as bridges, VLANs, TAP/TUN interfaces, and virtual switches when needed.
- Collaborate closely with architecture, QA, and DevOps teams to deliver reliable, production-quality software.
- Participate in design discussions, code reviews, and documentation, ensuring clean, maintainable code.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical decision-making.
Requirements:
- Required Skills & Experience
- 7-10 years of hands-on software development experience using C/C++ and Python.
- Strong experience with Linux-based systems, including:
- System programming in user space
- Process, memory, and thread management
- Debugging using tools like gdb, strace, perf, etc.
- Working knowledge of networking fundamentals, such as:
- TCP/IP basics, IPv4/IPv6
- Routing and switching concepts
- VLANs, ARP, sockets
- Experience with socket programming and networked applications.
- Experience deploying and testing software in virtual machines (KVM, VMware, VirtualBox, or cloud VMs).
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug issues in distributed or networked systems.
- Familiarity with Git, CI/CD workflows, and Linux build systems.
Educational Qualification:
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Electronics or a related discipline.
What We Offer:
- Competitive salary
- Equity options
- Performance-based bonus opportunities
- Medical, Dental and Vision benefits
- Life Insurance
