Looking to add developers that know

  • OpenFlow (network protocol) programming
    FreeBSD, PHP, C/C++

We have developed an SDN Controller based upon OpenFlow for the Industrial Space. It s the only one of its kind and is gaining momentum and we re growing the customer base rapidly. I need to start building out that development team. I have UI devs taken care of, part of the way to the staffing I m after for middleware developers and need to add 1-2 more folks for lower-level network interfacing side of the product. That s not to say that a person is pigeonholed into just low-level network development, but I need more in that area.

As switching asics become more cost-effective that support P4 (for the manufacturing sized switches) we ll begin adding that technology to the controller.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and maintain low-level networking components for the SDN Controller.
  • Work with OpenFlow protocol to manage and control network traffic.
  • Collaborate with middleware and UI teams to ensure seamless integration.
  • Contribute to future integration of P4 support as hardware evolves.
  • Participate in code reviews, testing, and documentation.

Must-Have Skills:

  • Strong experience with OpenFlow or similar SDN protocols.
  • Proficiency in FreeBSD, C/C++, and or PHP.
  • Solid understanding of network protocols and systems programming.
  • Experience with low-level network development and interfacing.

Nice-to-Have:

  • Familiarity with P4 programming language.
  • Experience in industrial or embedded systems environments.
  • Exposure to SDN controller architecture and design.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • 5+ years of relevant development experience.
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work across teams.
