 * Architect and implement QoS features, including queueing, classification, policing, shaping, ACL, ECN, and WRED.
 * Work with ASIC families (e.g., BCM XGS, BF Tofino) and develop software using BCM SDK, P4, and DPDK.
 * Optimize and enhance Linux networking internals, including memory management, network stack, and hardware abstraction layers (RIB, FIB, HAL).
 * Develop and maintain high-availability (HA) solutions, ISSU, and Linux-based networking systems.
 * Work on Debian packaging, Linux kernel modifications, and kernel networking stack optimizations.
 * Develop and integrate software for containerized and virtualized networking environments.Requirements
