Get to know us better

CodiLime is a software and network engineering industry expert and the first-choice service partner for top global networking hardware providers, software providers and telecoms. We create proofs-of-concept, help our clients build new products, nurture existing ones and provide services in production environments. Our clients include both tech startups and big players in various industries and geographic locations (US, Japan, Israel, Europe).

While no longer a startup - we have 250+ people on board and have been operating since 2011 we’ve kept our people-oriented culture. Our values are simple:

• Act to deliver.

• Disrupt to grow.

• Team up to win.

The project and the team

We develop modern networking software and operating systems for leading manufacturers of networking equipment. We work with cloud-native, containerized software and services, as well as with user-space and kernel-space drivers for advanced network equipment, including switches, routers, and smart network interface cards. We excel in the hardware offloading of network features, such as routing, firewalls, and QoS, and augment them with AI capabilities. 

We are seeking an engineer with a background in device drivers, OS-level programming, networking, hardware offloading, and system engineering to join our low-level engineering team.

What else you should know: 

• We often work using client-supplied hardware and tools in a fully remote environment

• Our projects may be managed by Codilime Engineering Managers or directly by the client.

• Most of our clients are based in the US, so work in the afternoon may sometimes be required

Your role

As a part of the team, your responsibility will be to:

• Develop software primarily using C/C++, with occasional use of other programming languages such as P4, Python or Go

• Take part in technical discussions with the team and the client to determine how to implement the client’s requirements

• Create unit tests for your code, conduct code review, create documentation, and take part in other activities related to software development

• Fix bugs efficiently and effectively, and find workarounds for blockers
