Operating System Networking Engineer

Do you love both networking and operating systems implementation, digging into the gritty interface where software meets the wire? We are seeking a software engineer to work on our illumos -based host operating system, Helios with a specific focus on its networking aspects. We are taking a very ambitious approach with respect to networking: not only have we developed our own compute sled and cabled backplane, we have also developed our own switch, and then the entire stack of software from the lowest levels of firmware to end-user experience — and everything in between! To understand why we’ve taken this steeper path (and the advantages that it affords), listen to the team in its own voice in our Oxide and Friends discussion on rack-scale networking . We are seeking an operating system software engineer who is energized by this end-to-end approach, and excited about joining our team to develop new kinds of functionality only made possible by true hardware/software co-design. As an engineer working on operating system networking, you will: Work with a helpful and experienced team to design, build, and bring up host system software, with a particular focus on its networking aspects Enhance/write drivers several different kinds of networking devices: merchant silicon-based NICs, switching silicon, FPGA-based NICs, etc. Read and write code in C (for the operating system writ large)
