  • Deep understanding of BGP EVPN, SRv6, Linux networking stack (netlink, routes, bridges, FDB, VRF)
  • Experience working with IPv6-only underlays
  • Proven ability to debug complex distributed systems

Strong Plus

  • Experience with Linux SRv6 or MPLS dataplanes
  • Exposure to kernel networking code
