## Description

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the global edge-to-cloud company advancing the way people live and work. We help companies connect, protect, analyze, and act on their data and applications wherever they live, from edge to cloud, so they can turn insights into outcomes at the speed required to thrive in today’s complex world.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Networking Specialist to join our team focused on software solutions for our VM Essentials customers. This role involves designing, implementing, and optimizing Data Plane layer of the Software Defined Networking (SDN) enhancements to VM Essentials customers in highly scalable, enterprise private cloud-based, distributed architectures.

**Responsibilities**

- Design, and development of the HPE SDN Data Plane for VM Essentials, covering Layer 2/3 networking, distributed routing and switching, overlays, tunneling, and high-performance packet forwarding.

- Define scalable interfaces and programming models across configuration, control, and data planes for routes, next hops, interfaces, VRFs, bridge domains, MAC/IP entries, tunnels, multicast state, and related forwarding objects.

- Design state synchronization, reconciliation, reconnect, warm-restart, upgrade, and recovery mechanisms that preserve forwarding consistency and minimize traffic disruption.

- Extend EVPN, VLAN, VXLAN, MPLS, IPv4/IPv6, bridging, MAC/IP learning, integrated routing and bridging, multi-homing, BUM forwarding, and overlay/underlay capabilities.

- Optimize packet processing with DPDK, Linux networking, SR-IOV, hardware acceleration and interfaces such as veth, virtio, vhost-user, and TAP/TUN.

- Improve throughput, latency, CPU and memory efficiency, and route, MAC, flow, tunnel, and compute-node scale.

- Root-cause analysis across configuration, control, and data planes for forwarding failures, stale state, race conditions, crashes, memory issues, and performance regressions.

- Partner with routing, virtualization, compute, cloud-platform, product, QA, systems engineering, and customer-facing teams to deliver reliable and scalable capabilities.

- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams (Configuration and Control path) to ensure seamless integration

- Opportunity to work with some of the networking gurus who have developed and authored cutting-edge solutions for ever evolving access network.

**Requirements**

- Bachelor’s OR master’s degree in computer-science or related field.

- Excellent network software design capabilities, C/C++ programming, debugging skills and a strong systems programming background

- 5+ years of experience in developing new features and bug fixing on complex products in networking domain.

- Knowledge of L2 (EVPN, VLAN, VXLAN) and L3 (eBGP, iBGP, MP-BGP, MPLS)

- Experience with routing, DPDK and Kernel Forwarding Plane, Tunnel using MPLSoUDP, MPLSoGRE and VxLan

- Experience with XMPP, BGP, iBGP and NetConf

- Knowledge of EBPF

- Experience in debugging networking problems in complex systems involving multiple process/thread interactions including, but not limited to analysing crashes, scaling and performance issues, packet loss, memory leaks and memory corruption

- Proactive mindset and strong willingness to learn in addition to ability to think out of the box and adopt new software development tools and technologies

- Understanding of network architecture of enterprise cloud and experience in deploying applications in Kubernetes environment is a plus.

**Benefits**

- Health & Wellbeing: comprehensive suite of benefits that supports physical, financial and emotional wellbeing

- Personal & Professional Development: programs catered to helping you reach any career goals you have

- Unconditional Inclusion: celebrating individual uniqueness, valuing varied backgrounds, and succeeding together
