- Be a part of the leadership of the larger MS team: weighing in on development priorities, projects going on across the team, etc.
You are an ideal candidate if you have:
- BS degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or equivalent experience.
- 6+ years of relevant work experience in system software development in the networking domain, especially switching.
- Interested in a leadership role because it allows you to work closely with others to help them achieve their best. Ideally you have at least a year of experience leading a team.
