Software Engineer (SONiC Networking)

About the role

We are looking for a Software Engineer to design and implement advanced networking interfaces for SONiC‑based platforms. You will work on cutting‑edge SDN technologies that power hyperscale data‑centers and cloud infrastructure.

Key responsibilities

• Design, implement, and integrate gNMI/gNOI northbound interfaces in SONiC using OpenConfig YANG models.
• Extend and customize SONiC NOS for Ethernet and optical circuit‑switch platforms, ensuring scalability.
• Develop and maintain Redis database schemas and synchronization logic across management and control components.
• Build, containerize, and orchestrate SONiC services with Docker for modular, high‑performance deployments.
• Create automated tests, validation scripts, and simulation frameworks for platform bring‑up and API verification.
• Collaborate with hardware, ASIC, and SDN controller teams to deliver fully integrated networking solutions.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ for system programming and Python for automation and testing.
• Deep understanding of SONiC architecture, its management framework, and Redis‑based database design.
• Experience with gNMI/gNOI services and OpenConfig YANG models for configuration, telemetry, and RPC.
• Solid knowledge of Linux kernel networking, user‑space networking services, and container‑based system design.
• Hands‑on experience with Docker, debugging containerized environments, and performance optimization.
• Fluent in Mandarin and English for effective global collaboration.
