Network Platform Software Development -Technical Lead- XGS

You will be responsible for designing and developing data path solutions for L3 (IPv4, IPv6, MPLS, SR/SRv6, VRF, L3VPN) and L2 (STP, LLDP, sFlow, LAG, MLAG) networking technologies. Additionally, you will architect and implement QoS features such as queueing, classification, policing, shaping, ACL, ECN, and WRED. Working with ASIC families (e.g., BCM XGS, BF Tofino) and developing software using BCM SDK, P4, and DPDK will be part of your role. Optimizing and enhancing Linux networking internals, including memory management, network stack, and hardware abstraction layers (RIB, FIB, HAL) will also be your responsibility. You will need to develop and maintain high-availability (HA) solutions, ISSU, and Linux-based networking systems. Furthermore, working on Debian packaging, Linux kernel modifications, and kernel networking stack optimizations will be essential. You will develop and integrate software for containerized and virtualized networking environments. To qualify for this role, you should hold a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. You are required to have at least 6 years of hands-on development experience in networking software development. Proficiency in C/C++/Go/Python programming is necessary. A deep understanding of ASIC pipeline architectures and networking hardware is essential. Hands-on experience with Linux OS internals, Debian build/packaging, and kernel networking stack is also required. Experience with RIB, FIB, HAL, and high-availability (HA) networking solutions is a must. Knowledge of containers (Docker, Kubernetes) and virtual machines (VMs) would be an added advantage. Preferred skills for this role include experience with DPDK, P4, BCM SDK, or other hardware programming interfaces. Strong debugging and performance optimization skills are highly valued, as well as experience with high-performance, distributed networking systems. Moreover, prior work experience in a startup or venture-backed company is considered a significant advantage. Arrcus has received over $125M in funding from top-tier Venture Capital firms(VCs) like Lightspeed Venture Partners, General Catalyst, and Clear Ventures, as well as strategic investors such as Liberty Global, SoftBank Corp, and Samsung Next. Arrcus is proud to be an equal opportunity employer, celebrating diversity and inclusion in the workplace. A strong belief in culture addition will drive the company forward, together.,
