We are engineering the data path for a highly available, AI-designed security fabric that protects applications across public clouds, private data centers, and physical environments. This team is building segmented firewalling directly in the data plane-a first-of-its-kind innovation not available elsewhere in the industry.

If you want to work on the core of the data path, build something new, and learn deeply from day one-this is the place. Your Impact In this role, you will design, build, and optimize the data plane for Cisco Hypershield using C++, P4, and hardware offload technologies such as DPUs and NPUs. You'll work hands-on with AMD DPU specifications, packet processing pipelines, and performance-critical components from day one. Success in this role means operating in a fast-paced model-quickly absorbing the architecture, contributing to data-plane development immediately, and delivering reliable, high-performance code with minimal hand-holding. You will: * Design and implement data-plane features using P4, microcode, and C++ across DPU/NPU architectures. * Bring up hardware platforms, integrate SDKs, and debug low-level packet-processing behavior. * Work from AMD technical specifications to define and build performant pipelines. * Collaborate closely with internal teams (control plane, management plane, platform) to deliver end-to-end datapath functionality. * Drive system-level architecture discussions and influence design choices for high-throughput and low-latency packet processing. Minimum Qualifications * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field. * 7+ years of experience in packet processing (e.g., DPDK, TCP reassembly, high-throughput pipelines). * Programming experience in C/C++ and experience with P4 or microcode/U-code development. * Experience bringing up platforms or ASICs in Linux-based environments. * Hands-on experience building or leveraging hardware acceleration with DPUs or NPUs. Preferred Qualifications * Experience working with AMD DPUs, Broadcom, Marvell, or Intel data-path hardware. * Deep understanding of P4 compiler behavior, pipeline stages, and programmable switch architecture. * Experience with performance analysis, tuning, and optimization of high-throughput systems. * Prior background in designing test harnesses, working with third-party SDKs, or hardware debug. * Experience owning features end-to-end in a distributed or high-availability networking product.
