About this role

Software Engineer | Routing protocol and infra charter software development | 8-12 years 2 Locations Meet the Team The DSE Platform Independent Common (PI-Common) group develops high-performance, platform-independent system software that runs across Cisco's flagship routers and switches. We design and deliver core routing protocols and infrastructure components that power Cisco's Mass Scale Infrastructure, Cloud Networking, and Network Experience portfolios. Our team owns the architecture, implementation, and lifecycle of key control-plane technologies including IGP routing protocols (OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, RIP), BGP-LS, First Hop Redundancy Protocols (HSRP/VRRP/GLBP), and routing infrastructure components such as route-policy frameworks, prefix handling, filtering, and control-plane scalability mechanisms. These components form the foundation of networking deployments across enterprise, service provider, cloud, and AI infrastructure environments - where scale, resiliency, security, programmability, and operational debuggability are critical. Your Impact As a Software Engineer in PI-Common, you will design, build, and sustain critical routing protocol and infrastructure components used across Cisco platforms. Your work will directly impact production networks operating at massive scale across enterprise, service provider, cloud, and AI infrastructure environments. Key responsibilities include: Designing and implementing enhancements to IGP protocols (OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, RIP), BGP-LS, and FHRP technologies. Developing and evolving routing infrastructure components such as route-policy frameworks, filtering mechanisms, prefix distribution systems, and control-plane integration modules. Building systems that scale efficiently, are secure by design, and provide strong programmability, observability and debuggability in production. Debugging complex system-level issues in large-scale, multi-threaded environments, including high-priority customer escalations. Owning issues end-to-end - from root cause analysis through fix
