Network Software Engineer

Description NextSilicon is reimagining high-performance computing (HPC & AI). Our accelerated compute solutions leverage intelligent adaptive algorithms to vastly accelerate supercomputers, driving them forward into a new generation. We have developed a novel software-defined hardware architecture that is achieving significant advancements in both the HPC and AI domains. At NextSilicon, everything we do is guided by three core values: Professionalism: We strive for exceptional results through professionalism and unwavering dedication to quality and performance. Unity: Collaboration is key to success. That's why we foster a work environment where every employee can feel valued and heard. Impact: We're passionate about developing technologies that make a meaningful impact on industries, communities, and individuals worldwide. NextSilicon is looking for talented networking software engineers to develop an innovative new communication stack. We’re starting from the ground up, rethinking existing protocols and network accelerators while designing both hardware and software for a new low-latency compute platform. We care about results and insist on doing things right. Our engineers are not siloed into narrow areas; our ideas are cross-fertilized among teams. Our technical backgrounds are diverse and we don't have preconceived approaches or cookbooks, so come and invent! The hardware teams are just a few steps away and really like hearing our ideas. This is a unique opportunity to develop creative solutions from concept to implementation. Requirements At least 3 years of experience as a software engineer - a must Experience in C or C++ - a must Previous work on at least one of: NIC offload technologies, such as RDMA, TOE, NVMeOF or UEC HPC communication frameworks such as MPI, UCX, or libfabric Packet processing SDKs, such as DPDK, eBPF, or XDP User-space libraries for low-latency networking Networking device driver development Responsibilities Take part in developing a networking stack from the ground up: Analyze customer applications and explore creative ways to accelerate them in hardware or software Find the best ways to process packets on NextSilicon’s hardware platform Participate in architecture of future NextSilicon NIC generations Develop user-space libraries and benchmarks for low-latency communication Work closely with the hardware teams to offload key features into the next generation of products
