Network Engineer - C/C++ (5-10 yrs)

Experience Range : 5 to 10 yrs

Location : Bangalore

Job Title :

VPP Network Engineer

Job Description :

We are seeking a highly skilled VPP (Vector Packet Processing) Network Engineer with expertise in C/C++, Unix/Linux, and advanced networking protocols. The primary focus will be on decryption of traffic, service chaining, and enhancing network performance. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in low-level programming, traffic analysis, and cryptographic protocols.

Key Responsibilities :

- Design and implement traffic decryption mechanisms using SSL/TLS or other cryptographic protocols.

- Develop and optimize service chaining solutions for efficient network traffic routing.

- Work with Vector Packet Processing (VPP) to enhance data plane performance.

- Analyze and troubleshoot network traffic using tools like Wireshark, tcpdump, or custom packet parsers.

- Implement and debug network protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, UDP, SSL/TLS).

- Ensure seamless integration of network functions using NFV (Network Function Virtualization) and SDN (Software-Defined Networking) concepts.

- Debug and resolve performance issues in Unix/Linux environments.

Required Skills and Experience :

1. Programming Languages :

- Proficiency in C/C++ with experience in low-level networking or system development.

2. Networking Expertise :

- Deep understanding of networking protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, UDP, BGP, SSL/TLS).

- Experience with traffic analysis and packet capture tools like Wireshark, tcpdump.

- Knowledge of service chaining and virtualized network functions.

3. Cryptography :

- Hands-on experience with SSL/TLS decryption, key exchange mechanisms, and traffic analysis.

4. Unix/Linux Skills :

- Strong experience with Unix/Linux systems (process management, system calls, debugging).

- Scripting experience (e.g., Bash, Python) for automation.

5. VPP (Vector Packet Processing) :

- Prior experience with VPP or a similar data plane framework for high-performance networking is a plus.
