Software Developer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Strong programming experience in C/C++ and/or Rust
• Experience with embedded Linux or low-level systems programming
• Hands-on experience interfacing with hardware and developing drivers
• Understanding of control systems or feedback loop implementation
• Experience with multi-threaded or real-time software systems
• Familiarity with debugging across software and hardware boundaries
• Exposure to telecom or networking systems (optical experience is a strong plus)
• Experience with version control (Git) and modern development workflows
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams

Nice To Haves

• Experience working on DWDM, ROADM, or optical transport systems
• Background in control theory, signal processing, or physics-based systems
• Experience implementing Layer 0 protection and restoration mechanisms
• Familiarity with network management models (YANG, OpenConfig, NETCONF)

Responsibilities

• Design and implement embedded software for Layer 0 optical control systems
• Develop and optimize control loops for optical power, wavelength stabilization, and signal quality
• Interface directly with hardware components such as lasers, VOAs, amplifiers, and sensors
• Implement real-time or near-real-time feedback systems for optical calibration and control
• Develop low-level drivers and hardware abstraction layers (I2C, SPI, etc.)
• Collaborate with system architects to translate optical behavior into software functionality
• Contribute to fault detection, protection, and restoration mechanisms in optical networks
• Expose system functionality via management interfaces (e.g., REST APIs, telemetry systems)
• Debug complex issues across hardware, firmware, and software layers
• Participate in system bring-up, integration, and performance tuning
• Optimize software for performance, reliability, and scalability in carrier-grade environments
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code
