11 - Senior Staff Engineer, Software

• Architect a CI/CD Pipeline: Design the integration between Git-based workflows and physical hardware labs, ensuring code changes trigger automated builds and deployments to SONiC-based switches.
• Cloud-to-On-Prem Connectivity: Lead the development of a cloud-hosted GUI and backend services that securely manage and command on-premise physical test beds.
• Hardware Abstraction: Oversee the management of physical test beds, ensuring consistent state and availability for automated testing.

Test Engineering & Validation

• Framework Leadership: Standardize automated testing using SPyTest, ensuring robust coverage for NOS (Network Operating System) features.
• Traffic Emulation: Integrate IXIA traffic generators into the automated suite to perform high-scale performance, stress, and regression testing.
• Regression Management: Own the final validation gate, ensuring that no code reaches production without passing a rigorous, automated physical battery.

AI-Driven Operations (The Future)

• Failure Analysis Agents: Build and deploy AI/LLM-based agents to parse complex log files and SPyTest results to identify the "root cause" of test failures automatically.
• Self-Healing Test Beds: Develop agents capable of test bed failure recovery (e.g., automatically power-cycling hung PDUs, re-flashing corrupted ONIE images, or re-seating virtual links).
• Quality Insights: Leverage AI to analyze long-term software quality trends and predict potential regressions before they occur.

Leadership & Mentorship

• Lead a cross-functional team of Network, Software, and DevOps engineers.
• Define the technical roadmap and drive the adoption of Platform Engineering Ops culture across the organization., * Duties of this position are performed in a normal office environment.
• Duties may require extended periods of sitting and sustained visual concentration on a computer monitor or on numbers and other detailed data.
• Repetitive manual movements (e.g., data entry, using a computer mouse, using a calculator, etc.) are frequently required.
• Occasional travel may be required.

We are seeking a visionary Team Lead to spearhead the design and deployment of a next-generation, network device automation infrastructure. This is not a traditional "scripting" role; you will be building a full-stack, SDLC-integrated ecosystem centered around products running SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) and OpenBMC., * Networking: Deep expertise in SONiC, SAI (Switch Abstraction Interface), and standard protocols (BGP, EVPN, VXLAN).

• Automation Frameworks: Expert-level knowledge of SPyTest and Python-based automation.
• Hardware: Experience with IXIA (IxNetwork/IxLoad) and physical switch hardware (Mellanox/NVIDIA, Broadcom-based whitebox).
• Software Development: Strong proficiency in Python, C/C++, Rust, or Java; experience building RESTful APIs and cloud-native backends (GCP/Azure).
• AI/ML: Familiarity with integrating LLM APIs (like Google Gemini) for text/log analysis.
• DevOps: Advanced experience with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps or Jenkins, and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes)., Bachelor degree or consideration of an equivalent combination of education and experience.
