Software Engineer, Network Engineer, Network Security

About This Role

This role is an opportunity to lead the architecture and delivery of a cloud-native, Kubernetes-first AI infrastructure within Meta's Cloud, while influencing a broad cross-functional ecosystem. The work involves building platform primitives like network virtualization, load balancing, service connectivity, and distributed firewall/policy enforcement at Meta scale, leveraging and contributing to open source where beneficial. The platform layer is built in close partnership with numerous application teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead architecture and delivery of cloud-native infrastructure optimized for AI development
• Influence a broad cross-functional ecosystem
• Leverage and contribute to open source where it helps move faster
• Build the platform layer and partner closely with application teams

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• 10+ years of experience in software development for networking or infrastructure systems, or PhD with 4+ years of experience in a relevant technical area
• 4+ years proven experience designing and shipping networking dataplane/control-plane systems in production (e.g., host networking, L4/L7 load balancing, NAT/conntrack, firewalls/policy, network virtualization)
• Hands-on Kubernetes networking experience in production (e.g., CNI, Services, Network Policy/policy models, service connectivity/load balancing integration)
• Proficiency in C/C++ and at least one scripting language (Python/Shell Scripting)
• Experience with developing and automating test suites
• Demonstrated experience working across disciplines to align on technical decisions and deliver integrated solutions
• Experience collaborating closely with hardware and ASIC design teams, contributing to hardware specifications, co-designing hardware-software interfaces, and influencing silicon feature sets based on software requirements
• Direct experience with DPU SoC/SmartNIC Platforms
• Expertise in high-performance networking frameworks and techniques such as DPDK, eBPF/XDP, kernel bypass, zero-copy I/O, and RDMA/RoCEv2
• Experience building or contributing to Kubernetes operators, controllers, or device plugins that manage hardware-accelerated networking or storage resources
• Familiarity with Linux networking internals such as netdev subsystem, TC/iptables/nftables, network namespace isolation, traffic shaping, and kernel driver development
• Experience in hyperscale or cloud-provider environments
