About the Role
NVIDIA Networking is seeking an exceptional candidate to work with world-class technologies in the domains of High-Speed Communication and Virtualization for our most advanced markets and customers. Our products encompass Ethernet and InfiniBand protocols, delivering a wide range of cutting-edge networking, virtualization, and security services for cloud, complex compute, and AI workloads. As a Networking Software Engineer, you will play a crucial role in delivering high quality customer solutions for advanced networking use cases.
What you'll be doing:
•Lead and own test strategies for advanced networking use cases end-to-end, collaborating with software developers, network engineers, architects, customer solutions engineers, and product managers to translate customer requirements into comprehensive verification plans.
•Design and execute functional, integration, regression, and performance test campaigns for software applications, firmware, tools, and networking protocols — driving coverage decisions and sign-off criteria.
•Architect and maintain test automation frameworks and infrastructure using Python and Bash, raising the quality bar for the team's CI/CD pipeline and test reliability.
•Triage, root-cause, and drive resolution of complex software defects across multiple subsystems, working across team boundaries when needed.
•Lead release quality activities — own release indicators, track risk, and communicate readiness to stakeholders across engineering and product management.
•Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, providing constructive feedback and establishing best practices to improve code quality and maintainability.
•Evaluate and improve test processes, methodologies, and tooling — proposing and driving adoption of improvements that increase team efficiency.
What we need to see:
•Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
•5+ years of familiarity with Linux datacenter network engineering along with 1+ years of exposure to and comprehension of standard practices in software development.
•Familiarity with Linux datacenter network engineering along with exposure to and comprehension of standard practices in software development.
•Strong proficiency in Python/Bash scripting languages. In-depth knowledge of Linux operating systems, command-line tools and computer networking.
•Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to debug and isolate software defects.
•Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
•Ability to work effectively both independently and collaboratively within a team environment.
•Outstanding attention to details and a dedication to delivering top-quality software solutions.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
•Experience with network equipment (switches, network Cards) and understanding of network protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, Ethernet, RDMA).
•Experience with Linux Virtualization (KVM/QEMU), OVS, and network encapsulation technologies.
•Familiarity with Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD).
•Background with performance testing and analysis tools (e.g., wireshark, tcpdump, perftest, iperf).
•Experience with system/network/CPU performance tuning in Linux OS environment.
