Responsibilities

  • by integrating and validating the switching chip SDK, with reliable boot, all ports operational, and drivers passing QA.
  • Scale our system’s implementation of protocols
  • such as BGP, ECMP, LACP, VXLAN, and EVPN, with one (of many) goals being observing every event on every device in every network. This will require working with relevant teams on data models and feature scoping.

Who you are

  • Experience with switching SDKs is a plus, as is familiarity with Golang or similar backend languages.

  • Excited to play an early and broadly influential role in the development of Meter’s Data Center products.
  • You raise issues early and are known to be dependable, kind, and autonomous.
