NVIDIA is a leader in the field of computer graphics, PC gaming, accelerated computing and AI. Within NVIDIA, the Networking Business Unit is building chips, systems and software that are powering the most advanced data center and hyper-converged networks of today and tomorrow. 

We are looking for a highly motivated software engineer with extensive experience in routing protocols and control plane software, to be part of our routing protocol development team. We work with and contribute significantly to Free Range Routing, the preeminent open routing suite in the industry. Free Range Routing (FRR) is the routing protocol stack used by NVIDIA Cumulus Linux, the industry's most innovative open network operating system, built with a flexible open architecture and comprehensive automation capabilities. In addition, FRR is used on other NVIDIA products, and is also the routing protocol stack used on the open source network operating system SONiC. As a member of the routing team, you will be developing routing and network virtualization functionality in protocols and technologies like BGP, EVPN, OSPF, PIM and Segment Routing. We are a small team that prides itself on innovation and agility. You will be using the latest software development tools and techniques, and will gain unique knowledge of how the switch operating system works and how large scale EthernetAI networks are constructed.

What you’ll be doing:

• Design, develop, test and maintain new functionality and improvements in different routing protocols and related control plane software. This will also include Yang or OpenAI based data models, programmatic interfaces and APIs to the routing control subsystem.

• Collaborate with team members, architects and QA and Support teams on feature definition, development, release, and bug fixing.

What we need to see:

• BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• A minimum of 5+ years of software development experience that spans multiple routing protocols including EVPN, BGP, PIM, OSPF, RIFT, or MPLS/SR.

• Strong and proven experience in C programming.

• Strong technical abilities, problem-solving, design, coding, and debugging skills.

• Lead feature development, take full ownership of tasks from A-Z, and deliver independently with minimum supervision.

• Ability to drive end-to-end design and development and provide mentorship and guidance to other engineers.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Significant hands-on experience with EVPN/OSPF/BGP/Multicast.

• Experience in multiple control plane protocols for the data center environment.

• Good background and experience in Yang models and Netconf/gNMI

• Knowledge of Linux kernel networking and hardware forwarding as well as participation in the open-source community.

• C/C++ and Python programming skills.

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to unprecedented growth, our exclusive engineering teams are rapidly growing. If you're a creative and autonomous engineer with a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you.
