Who You'll Work With

You will work with the Platform team who work closest to the hardware and programming chips. 

What You'll Do

The core responsibility is to deliver product features. A major part of this is writing the code that drives our products. But the role of a software engineer is much bigger than just being a coding machine. Software engineers work on the whole development process, including:

• deciding what features to build
• driving the design
• writing the code (of course)
• pushing testing
• documenting the feature
• supporting customers in the field

Along the way, you might:

• extend and improve the test infrastructure
• hack on our engineering tools, including p4, django, python, rpm, ...
• work with sales and business development
• improve the content on our website 

The Person:

If you...

• love to program
• enjoy building things and shipping them, truly making them work
• find satisfaction in creating a really well-written piece of code
• care about keeping the code maintainable and preserving its integrity
• look for a better way, and strive to make it real
• care about the business too
• enjoy working with others who feel the same
• learn how things work, just for fun or out of curiosity

... then this job is for you.

A strong background in C++. Knowledge of Linux, TCP/IP, python, hardware, drivers, compilers, or assembly language is a plus. A BSCS/CE degree is required.
