About the Role
Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure. We are seeking an experienced Software Engineer to design and build the next generation of our network platform, developing systems, services, and automation for our software-defined network. This role involves deep work within the Linux networking stack, SDN integrations, and creating programmable, reliable, and scalable network tools.
Responsibilities
- Design and build software to scale Lambda’s high performance multi-tenant cloud network
- Develop reproducible automation and tooling for network configuration and deployments
- Implement and operate Software Defined Networking services and related control-plane software
- Engineer highly available network services through observability, failover, and redundancy features
- Deliver predictable networking performance for clients via software-driven network engineering solutions
- Develop, integrate, and maintain network monitoring and management tools and services
- Participate in on-call and contribute to incident response tooling and automation
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in systems, infrastructure, or networking-focused domains.
- Demonstrated experience designing and implementing production-scale Software Defined Networking (SDN) systems, ideally with AWS VPC–like functionality (e.g., routing, security groups, overlays, peering).
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining SDN platforms using technologies such as OpenStack Neutron, OVN, or similar network virtualization frameworks.
- Deep understanding of the Linux networking stack, including namespaces, routing, iptables/nftables, network virtualization, SR-IOV, and DPDK, with the ability to reason from a systems programming perspective.
- Proficiency with the Linux command line and strong understanding of networking concepts from a software engineering viewpoint.
- Experience working with multi–data center and hybrid cloud networking environments, with an emphasis on automation and software-driven control planes.
- 5+ years of software development experience in C, Go, or Python for building network services, tooling, and automation.
- Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment systems; strong familiarity with Git, and experience operating in GitOps-driven environments for infrastructure or network configuration.
- Prior involvement in on-call rotations, incident response, and building tools to improve network or system reliability.
- Experience deploying, operating, and automating applications on Kubernetes, including building supporting services or tooling for networking and lifecycle management.
