Eagerness to learn and adopt team best practices. * Technical Proficiency: Working knowledge of at least one programming language such as Java or Go. Basic understanding of Linux fundamentals and computer architecture concepts (willingness to deepen this knowledge on the job). * Communication & Collaboration: Good communication skills and a collaborative mindset; comfortable asking questions and working closely with more senior engineers. * Growth Mindset: Strong desire to learn network systems and distributed computing concepts, with a track record of picking up new technical skills quickly (coursework, personal projects, or prior roles). Bonus Points * Coursework, personal projects, or internship experience involving network technologies or distributed systems. * Exposure to networking protocols and technologies such as BGP, VXLAN, TCP/IP, or Open vSwitch (OVS). * Any contributions to open source projects (school-related or personal). * Basic understanding of networking concepts (physical or software-defined). * Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). ## Description * Contribute to Engineering Efforts: Work with your team on cloud network features, helping to implement well-scoped pieces of larger projects as defined by product and engineering leads. * Software Development: Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code with guidance from senior engineers. Contribute to design documentation for the features you work on. Participate in testing and rollout of software across the stack, from bare metal to user-facing APIs. * Technical Contribution: Take part in code reviews (both giving and receiving feedback), and participate in architecture and design discussions to build your understanding of the broader system. * Continuous Learning: Actively grow your technical skills through mentorship, pairing, and collaboration with teammates. Ask questions, seek feedback, and build foundational knowledge in distributed network systems. * Cross-Team Collaboration: Participate in team initiatives like tech talks, open source exploration, and book clubs to broaden your exposure to the engineering organization. ## Related Videos - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [Fingerboard to Keyboard: Transposing One Profession to Another](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/868-fingerboard-to-keyboard-transposing-one-profession-to-another) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Turning Container security up to 11 with Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/718-turning-container-security-up-to-11-with-capabilities) - [You’re a great coder?
