Network Software Engineer

Description

In this role, you will be primarily contributing to the design and implementation of BLUos, the operating system running on our self-made whitebox switches. As part of the R&D team, you will be also responsible for the analysis and translation of business requirements into working prototypes in collaboration with the existing senior staff, network engineers, partners, and consultants as well as for the continuous improvement of the quality of our codebases through bug fixes, refactoring, and test automation.

Our mandatory requirements are:

We are looking for a person that should be effective at planning and organizing, detail-oriented, self-motivated, and result-driven, and should be able to supervise junior engineering staff and students/interns.

In addition, the ideal candidate should possess the following qualities:

– Hands-on: this is a dynamic environment which requires hands-on involvement in all aspects of the project; this is not a (pure) management position.
