Join us redefine what’s next for you. Platform Software Engineer (Networking Systems) Architect and build the system software behind high-performance networking platforms- owning design decisions end-to-end, optimizing for reliability and performance, and delivering capabilities that run at scale in real-world deployments.
Job Responsibility:
Drive system design and implementation for platform software across core networking subsystems, including: Chassis/line-card platform services, Ethernet interfaces, optics, and the underlying system infrastructure that ties hardware and software together
Own architecture and end-to-end delivery within JunOS or Junos Evolved—define interfaces, evaluate design tradeoffs, implement, and integrate across the stack
Partner with system and solution test teams to set quality bars and build performance and reliability requirements, build strong test strategy, and shorten debug/triage cycles
Work with JTAC as the engineering escalation path - perform root-cause analysis on production issues, drive fixes to closure, and harden the platform to prevent regressions
Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or closely related quantitative discipline
Typically, 4-7 years' experience
Deep experience with low-level systems: device drivers, board/system bring-up, and FreeBSD/Linux internals
Strong systems debugging skills - able to isolate cross-layer failures (hardware/firmware/OS), and reason about performance, concurrency, and resource bottlenecks
AI-first engineering mindset: comfortable using AI-assisted tools (e.g., coding copilots, LLM-based assistants) to accelerate design, implementation, and debugging - while validating outputs, writing tests, and protecting sensitive data
Requirement: consistently apply AI-assisted workflows across the system design lifecycle (problem framing → tradeoffs/interfaces → implementation → test/verification → production triage) to improve speed, quality, and reliability
Habit of documenting decisions and using lightweight design artifacts (problem statements, tradeoffs, interfaces) to align quickly and iterate with the team
Solid networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, Ethernet
familiarity with switching concepts is a plus)
Strong C/C++ engineering: clean API/interface design, OO design, data structures, and comfort with low-level/system debugging tooling
Working knowledge of hardware/firmware interfaces and integration points (Optics, PCIe, SPI, I2C, FPGA/CPLD) - able to translate datasheets into robust software abstractions
Bonus: prior experience shipping system software for networking products (platforms, routers/switches, or similar)
Cloud Architectures, Cross Domain Knowledge, Design Thinking, Development Fundamentals, DevOps, Distributed Computing, Microservices Fluency, Full Stack Development, Release Management, Security-First Mindset, User Experience (UX)
Nice to have:
Master's desirable
familiarity with switching concepts is a plus
prior experience shipping system software for networking products (platforms, routers/switches, or similar)
