Who We Are

The Cisco Distributed System Engineering (DSE) group is at the forefront of developing products that power the largest networks in the world. The networking industry is going through a massive transformation to build the next generation infrastructure to meet the needs of AI/ML workloads and continuously increasing internet users and application. We are uniquely positioned to capture that market transition. This team builds products by harnessing the potential of open-source technologies while pushing the boundaries on Systems and Silicon Architecture.

Who You Are

You are a detail-oriented and keen-minded professional with strong communication skills, capable of making a significant impact through your work. With a solid educational background and extensive software development experience in C/C++ or Python, you excel in debugging within a Linux environment and have a thorough understanding of embedded networking layer 2 or 3 protocols. You possess the ability to work independently, yet are equally adept at collaborating within small teams or cross-functional groups. Your experience with RDMA technologies, data plane implementations, and performance tuning underscores your technical prowess.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you will develop, implement, solve, and support RDMA-enabling protocols and technologies for data center applications. You will diagnose and resolve issues related to RDMA technologies, ensuring the reliability and performance of the system by developing, executing, and extending test plans. Collaboration is key, as you will work closely with multi-functional hardware and software engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of RDMA-enabling technologies. Your responsibilities will also include participating in code reviews, testing, and debugging processes to ensure high-quality work. Additionally, you will provide technical support and guidance to other teams and collaborators, integrating RDMA solutions with existing network infrastructure and applications.

• Experience leading small teams on a turnkey basis

Why Cisco

#WeAreCisco. We are all unique, but collectively we bring our talents to work as a team, to develop innovative technology and power a more inclusive, digital future for everyone. How do we do it? Well, for starters - with people like you!

Nearly every internet connection around the world touches Cisco. We’re the Internet’s optimists. Our technology makes sure the data traveling at light speed across connections does so securely, yet it’s not what we make but what we make happen which marks us out. We’re helping those who work in the health service to connect with patients and each other; schools, colleges, and universities to teach in even the most challenging of times. We’re helping businesses of all shapes and sizes to connect with their employees and customers in new ways, providing people with access to the digital skills they need and connecting the most remote parts of the world - whether through 5G, or otherwise.

We tackle whatever challenges come our way. We have each other’s backs, we recognize our accomplishments, and we grow together. We celebrate and support one another - from big and small things in life to big career moments. And giving back is in our DNA (we get 10 days off each year to do just that).

We know that powering an inclusive future starts with us. Because without diversity and a dedication to equality, there is no moving forward. Our 30 Inclusive Communities, that bring people together around commonalities or passions, are leading the way. Together we’re committed to learning, listening, caring for our communities, whilst supporting the most vulnerable with a collective effort to make this world a better place either with technology, or through our actions.

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us! #WeAreCisco
