* Architect and implement networking drivers for next-generation AWS Nitro controllers serving millions of instances
* Push the boundaries of network performance—optimizing for maximum bandwidth, PPS, and minimal latency across AWS infrastructure
* Own driver development and enhancement across multiple operating systems (Linux, Windows, DPDK, FreeBSD, MacOS, and more)
* Drive software architecture decisions and contribute to upstream open-source repositories that shape the future of cloud networking
* Partner with internal teams and external customers to solve complex, high-impact technical challenges
* Ensure cloud reliability by monitoring infrastructure health and upholding exceptional quality standards
