Accessing ASIC registers over SPI bus, SMbus, PCIe and I2C, to implement high resolution timers (sub-100ns accuracy) and read ASIC hardware specifications to gather near-real-time information on large numbers of packet flows and to generate network congestion statistics.

Developing configuration management services using Go and Python to support YANG, OpenConfig, NETCONF and RESTCONF over gRPC, ssh and ssl for standardised switch configuration, combined with tools like git, Gerrit, Jenkins, Slack and Trello.

Developing routing protocol agents (for BGP, OSPF, ISIS) in C/C++ within a Linux embedded environment. Coding of fault-tolerant, concurrent agents capable of handling the demands of future data centers where high performance and high availability are basic requirements. Contributing to a fully automated, developer owned, Python based, continuous test harness with 100s of devices under test at any one moment.  

Any of the following:

C, C++, Networking, Linux Embedded Systems, Algorithms. But mostly just a love and aptitude for programming.
