Architect and build the system software behind high-performance
ethernet switching networking platforms
by owning design decisions end-to-end, optimizing for reliability and performance, and delivering capabilities that run at scale in real-world mission critical deployments.
*Responsibilities:*
- Drive system design and implementation for platform software across core networking subsystems, including:
- Chassis/line-card platform services, Ethernet interfaces, optics, and the underlying system infrastructure that ties hardware and software together
- Own architecture and end-to-end delivery within JunOS or Junos Evolved - define interfaces between hardware and software and between various software components, evaluate design trade-offs, implement, and integrate across the networking software stack.
- Partner with system and solution test teams to set quality bars and build performance and reliability requirements, feedback to solid test strategy, and shorten debug/triage cycles.
- Work with support teams as the engineering owner – to perform root-cause analysis on production issues, drive fixes to closure, and continually harden the switching platform for best customer experience.
*Education and Experience Required:*
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or related discipline. Master’s desirable.
*Knowledge and Skills:*
- Deep experience with low-level systems domain: device drivers, board/system bring-up, and FreeBSD/Linux internals.
- Strong systems debugging skills - able to isolate cross-layer failures (hardware/firmware/OS), and reason about performance, concurrency, and resource bottlenecks.
- AI-first engineering mindset: comfortable using AI-assisted tools (e.g., coding copilots, LLM-based assistants) to accelerate de
