Senior Software Engineer, HBN

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Host-Based Networking (HBN) team. HBN is a high-impact product within the DOCA ecosystem, providing the networking foundation for the AI Factory and massive-scale GPU clusters. By offloading the networking stack to the BlueField DPU, our service enables hardware-accelerated, tenant-aware connectivity for the worlds most advanced AI infrastructure.
We are looking for a versatile engineer who is ready to lead technical initiatives and drive the development of networking systems that power the next generation of AI. If you are a quick learner with a passion for high-performance networking and complex system-level challenges, we want to hear from you.
What youll be doing:
Design DPU-Resident Services: Design and implement networking features for our containerized service running directly on the BlueField DPU platform.
Optimize System Performance: Develop and maintain the forwarding daemon, bridging Linux networking states with hardware acceleration for wire-speed performance.
Forwarding & Protocol Integration: Implement hardware-accelerated forwarding (e.g., VXLAN) and integrate with L3 control planes (BGP, EVPN) to support multi-tenant isolation.
System-Level Debugging: Analyze and resolve complex interactions between the HBN container, the DPU kernel, and low-level networking drivers.
Shaping Technical Direction: Partner with architecture teams to design and integrate next-generation networking features for production-ready hardware within the DOCA ecosystem.
Lead Technical Initiatives: Drive the software lifecycle of key components, from initial design through to large-scale deployment and production support.
