    The Cisco Distributed System Engineering (DSE) group is at the forefront of developing products that power the largest networks in the world. The networking industry is going through a massive transformation to build the next generation infrastructure to meet the needs of AI/ML workloads and continuously increasing internet users and applications. The team is uniquely positioned to capture that market transition.

    In this role, you will be involved in a fast-paced work environment and responsible for end-to-end product development and production support. As a technical lead, you will lead the design, development, and deployment of software solutions leveraging SONiC to interface with hardware infrastructure and platform-level components. Additionally, you will collaborate with hardware teams to optimize hardware-software interactions, define technical architecture, and lead efforts to ensure scalability and high availability.
